How to Have a Custom Name for Your Stream Bot on Twitch

Have you ever wanted to give your stream bot a personal touch? A custom name can make your stream more unique and memorable. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of setting up a custom bot name for your stream bot on Twitch. Don't worry - the whole process is free and simple! You just need to use Stream Elements and OBS.live. So, let's dive in and give your bot a personality of its own!

1. Introduction

When you're streaming on Twitch, having a bot to assist you with managing chats and commands can be incredibly useful. But why settle for a generic bot name when you can have one that represents your stream and brand? By following the steps in this tutorial, you'll be able to set up a custom bot name that aligns with your stream's theme.

2. Setting up Stream Elements

Before we start customizing the bot name, we need to make sure we have the right tools in place. Here's what you need to do:

2.1 Downloading OBS.live

The first step is to download OBS.live. This is a modified version of OBS Studio that includes the Stream Elements plugin. You can find the download link on the Stream Elements website. Once it's downloaded, proceed to the next step.

2.2 Installing OBS.live

After downloading OBS.live, you'll need to install it on your computer. During the installation process, you may be prompted to restart your computer. Go ahead and do that to ensure a smooth installation.

2.3 Launching OBS Studio

Once OBS.live is installed and your computer has restarted, you can launch OBS Studio. By default, OBS Studio will have a layout that includes the Stream Elements plugin. However, feel free to customize the layout according to your preferences.

3. Logging into Twitch

To make changes to your stream bot's name, you need to log into your Twitch account. If you have two-step verification enabled, make sure to complete the verification process.

4. Activating Activity Feed

After logging into Twitch, navigate to the Stream Elements tab in OBS Studio and click on "OBS.live Docs". Make sure the "Activity Feed" option is activated. If it's not, click on it to enable it. The Activity Feed will display important information about your stream.

5. Setting Stream Element Bot Name

Now that we have the necessary settings in place, let's proceed with setting up the custom bot name for your stream. Here's what you need to do:

5.1 Creating a Custom Bot Account on Twitch

First, you need to create a new Twitch account specifically for your bot. This account will have the custom bot name that you desire. Head over to the Twitch website and follow the steps to create a new account.

5.2 Naming the Custom Bot Account

When creating the custom bot account, choose a name that reflects the personality or theme you want for your stream bot. For example, if your stream is about gaming, you can name the bot account "GamerBot". Be creative and choose something that resonates with your audience.

5.3 Connecting the Custom Bot Account

In OBS.live, click on "Custom Bot Name" under the Stream Elements tab. Scroll down to the "Connect Custom Bot Account" option. Click on it and log into the Twitch account you just created for your bot. You will be prompted to authorize the connection between OBS.live and the bot account.

5.4 Authorizing the Custom Bot Account

Once you're logged into the bot account, click on the authorization prompt to establish the connection between OBS.live and the bot account. This step ensures that the custom bot name is active and ready to be used in your streams.

6. Saving the Custom Bot Name

Now that you've connected the custom bot account, you can switch between the default Stream Elements bot and your custom bot. In OBS.live, select your custom bot name under the "Custom Bot Name" option. Make sure to click on "Save" to apply the changes.

7. Using the Custom Bot in Stream

With the custom bot name set up, you can start using it in your streams. Whenever you interact with chat or use commands, your custom bot will be active and respond accordingly. This personal touch helps to create a more engaging and immersive experience for your viewers.
