How to use chat commands and bots on stream

July 9, 2026

Knowing how to use chat commands and bots makes a stream more organized and manageable. This guide explains what a bot does, which commands you need, and how to share your donation link automatically. Donator, Georgia's first and best donation platform, now expanding across the Caucasus, fits easily alongside a chat bot too.

Connect a bot and your Donator link

What a chat bot does

A chat bot is an automatic helper that answers commands, states rules, and helps with moderation while you are busy on stream.

The bot quickly gives viewers frequently asked information, such as your schedule or social links, without you stepping in.

Essential commands

Create simple commands, for example !schedule for your schedule and !social for links. This lets viewers find information themselves.

Add a !donate command that automatically posts your Donator link in chat so a new viewer easily finds the way to support you.

Moderation and automation

Set up an automatic filter for spam and banned words so chat stays clean and friendly without live moderation.

Timed messages, such as a regular reminder of your Donator link, run automatically and keep engagement active.

Popular bots and setup

Common choices are Nightbot, StreamElements and Moobot. They connect to Twitch and YouTube and are managed from a simple panel.

Start with a few core commands and add new ones over time. Too many commands at once confuses viewers from the start.
