    Nightbot is enough for most streamers; for very advanced automation a specialized bot may be better.

    About

    In practice. What you can do with Nightbot.

    Nightbot automatically moderates a stream's chat (spam, link, and banned-word filtering) and lets you create custom commands (!discord, !socials) that viewers can trigger, reducing manual moderation load for a streamer.

    It's one of the most widely used moderation bots on Twitch and YouTube Live, free and simple to set up even for a small streamer just starting out.

    Practical uses

    • Automatically moderate a stream's chat.
    • Answer recurring questions via commands.
    • Manage a song-request queue.
