Messages show in console/chatbot but not stream chat

You most likely connected the bot to the wrong channel.

1. Go to connections 👤
2. Go into bot connection (Only available for Twitch)
3. Make sure Streamer Channel is the same as your actual stream name

Bot can send messages but isn't responding to commands

Most likely one of the following settings was overlooked.

• Usage make sure it's set to the chat that's being used. Stream Whisper means you have to whisper the command
• Cost if the cost is set to anything higher than 0 currency must be enabled and user need enough points
• Cooldown Broadcaster ignore cooldowns but nobody else does, restarting the bot will clear all cooldowns
• Permission & Info

YouTube only - last resort/possible reason.

Timestamps in the bot doesn't match the timestamps sent from youtube to the bot, so the bot doesn't recognize new messages to respond to. To ensure this isn't the issue simply enable "Set time automatically" and make sure the correct Time zone is selected, how to find these settings is explained here.

Timers not posting

In order for timers to be working the following events must have occured

• Stream must be live or timers won't post
• The bot must be connected to Streamlabs
• Bot must show Stream: Online at the top
• Minimum new chat lines must have been reached
• Interval (min) must have been reached

If the timer still doesn't work it is due to a faulty $parameter inside the timer. Parameters that is a username ($userid, $targetid etc.) or requires an input ($msg, $arg1, $num1 etc.) will cause the time to not show.

Songrequest by artist/name

• To enable this feature go into the Songrequest tab in the bot then press the ⚙️ in the top right corner and change mode from $id to either of the two other options

Songrequests not responding in chat/Songrequest stuck on track

Songrequests not responding could be a few possible reasons, please check the following reasons first.

1. Songrequests are disabled in the songrequest tab (top left corner)
2. Songrequests have a cost that's higher than the users current currencyamount
3. Songrequests are set to work in discord/whispers only. settings ⚙️ -> usage -> songrequests

If none of the options above explained your issue you can try resetting songqueue and songrequest settings by following these steps:

1. press the ? in the bot's top right corner
2. press open install directory
3. close the bot
4. go into services folder
5. go into twitch folder (replace with youtube if you stream there)
6. go into settings folder
7. delete SongQueue.bin and songrequestsettings.bin
8. start up the bot
9. enable songrequests

Songrequests won't play/does not currently recognize any of the video formats available

1. press the ? in the bot's top right corner
2. press open install directory
3. close the bot
4. go into cache folder
5. delete all content from this folder
6. start up the bot

SFX aren't playing

If preview works you can skip these

• Wrong audio engine is selected in settings ⚙️ -> general
  • 99% of all users should use Wasapi
• File/filepath doesn't exist
• Soundfile format isn't supported (.mp3 only)
• The Chatbot is muted in windows audio mixer

Preview working but not commands

• Only play Sound Files when stream is live is checked in Commands tab -> settings ⚙️
• Sound file commands are on global user cooldown. This setting is in commands tab -> settings ⚙️. Restart the Chatbot to clear cooldowns
• Numbers of votes set is too high, the bot doesn't announce each vote

Bot crashes/doesn't launch

Streamlabs Chatbot requires some additional files (Visual C++ 2017 Redistributables) that might not be currently installed on your system. Please download and run both of these Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 redistributables. Restart you computer after installing this.

• Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable [64bit]
• Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable [32bit]

Both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions should be installed, even if you have a 64 bit version of Windows

Running as admin

• It's always a good option to run the bot as admin to make sure it got all permissions needed. In order to do that you right click your Chatbot Shortcut -> run as administrator

If all else failed it might be MSI afterburner

• First check if the bot does launch with MSI turned off (If it does not it is a different problem and this solution is not for you) With the bot closed and afterburner open, go into afterburner settings -> User Interface and make sure Single tray icon mode is OFF. Then go to your tray, right click RivaTunerStatisticsServer, and click show. Click Add, then find the Streamlabs Chatbot.exe. Making sure the Streamlabs Chatbot profile is selected, turn Application Detection Level to None. Open the chatbot and it should work fine now.

Missing tabs

There are three tabs that can be hidden in the chatbot.

• Discord tab is hidden for YouTube since it doesn't support discord integration
• Scripts tab is hidden until you connect streamer and bot account under connections to the streamer's channel
• Subscribers tab is hidden for YouTube

Scripts not loading

There are no default scripts with the bot currently so in order for them to install they must have been imported manually.

Importing scripts

1. Download a .zip file containging the script (preferably from chatbot discord)
2. Go into the scripts tab and press import in the top right corner
3. Select the .zip file you downloaded in step 1
4. Hit open and after a short time it should pop up a message confirming that it was a successful import.

When troubleshooting scripts your best help is the error view. You can find it in the top right corner of the scripts tab.

Troubleshooting scripts

• No module named os / json
  • Make sure python 2.7.13 x86 is installed. Don't use newer versions of python or x64
  • Make sure the lib folder path found in scripts tab -> settings ⚙️ leads to the lib folder located inside the python folder that was created when installing python. By default this would look like THIS
• Unexpected token from / :
  • Make sure you installed python 2.7.13 x86 and NOT python 3.X

Bot size is huge/tiny on one or multiple monitors

Notifications aren't working

Click the 👤 in the bottom left corner of the bot and go to streamlabs

1. Disconnect from streamlabs
2. Generate token (make sure it's using the streamer account)
3. Connect to streamlabs

Can't update game/tile through dashboard or command

Your twitch token for the streamer account expired. Please generate a new one connections 👤 -> twitch streamer -> disconnect -> generate token -> connect

Can't complete the captcha in the setup wizard

This only happens during the first time you launch the bot so you just need to get it through the wizard once to be able to use the bot. Generally speaking there are 3 ways to do this.

1. Follow the steps below to set up a shortcut to skip the setup wizard.

   • Make sure to close the Chatbot completely.
   • Right click on the Streamlabs Chatbot shortcut (if you don't have one please create one)
   • Select properties
   • Place your cursor at the very end of the target input box
   • Add a space right behind the "
   • Type in twitch behind the space, if done correctly it should look like this
   • Hit Apply and try to launch the bot, the setup wizard should now be skipped.
   • In order to connect the bot please press the 👤 in the bottom left corner and use the links below to generate tokens in your browser.

2. Using a VPN, we only recommend trying this if you got experience with using a VPN.

3. Please make sure you have tried #1 carefully and as last possible option visit the discord and ask any support member for help.

Can't generate token

This is due to a connection issue between the bot and the site it needs to generate the token.

• Make sure there's an expcetion for the bot in your firewall
• Make sure there's an exception for the bot in your antivirus/windows defender
• Disabling ipv6 have resolved the issue for some users Guide Here
