Chat commands

Commands start with the switcher’s prefix (! by default). The role is who may use it by default; change it or turn the command off on the Chat & commands page. See Chat bot for what the roles mean.

<…> is required, […] optional. Scene, source and interface names are matched loosely: !switch brb finds “BRB Scene”.

Command Role
!bitrate Public The bitrate and RTT of each stream server, or that it’s offline. Alias !b.
!sourceinfo Moderator The same as !bitrate.
!serverinfo Moderator OBS’s stats: scene, bitrate (measured over 2 seconds), FPS, dropped frames by network, rendering lag and encoding lag, CPU, memory and free disk.
Command Role
!switch <scene> Admin Switch to the scene that best matches the name. Alias !ss.
!live Admin Switch to your LIVE scene.
!privacy Admin Switch to your Privacy scene.
!starting Admin Switch to your Starting scene.
!ending Admin Switch to your Ending scene.
!source <name> Admin Show or hide a source on the scene on air (nested scenes and groups included).
!fix Moderator Reconnect the media sources on the scene on air, to unfreeze a stuck feed. Alias !f.
!refresh Moderator Show the Refresh scene for 4 seconds, then switch back (unless someone switched meanwhile). Without a Refresh scene it does !fix.
Command Role
!start Admin Start streaming in OBS.
!stop Admin Stop streaming in OBS.
!record Admin Start or stop recording.
!marker [note] Moderator Mark this moment on the running stream; the reply gives its time. The note is up to 200 characters.

Without a value they say the current one; off turns it off.

Command Role
!trigger [kbps|off] Moderator The bitrate at or below which NOALBS switches to LOW.
!otrigger [kbps|off] Moderator The bitrate at or below which it switches to BRB.
!rtrigger [ms|off] Moderator The RTT at or above which it switches to LOW.
!ortrigger [ms|off] Moderator The RTT at or above which it switches to BRB.

Without on or off, these flip the setting.

Command Role
!notify [on|off] Admin Chat notifications of automatic switches.
!autostop [on|off] Admin Stop the stream after a raid.
!public [on|off] Admin Public commands (off: they need a moderator).

!noalbs prefix <new> Admin Change the prefix (1 to 3 characters).
