Adds a YouTube video to the request queue from an action, as if a viewer asked. Good for your own "play this" button or command.
| Setting | What to put in |
|---|---|
| YouTube link or video id | A YouTube link or the 11-letter video id. The default %rawInput% is what a viewer typed after the command. Starts as: %rawInput%. |
| Requested by | Who asked for it, shown with the video. The default %user% is whoever started the action. Starts as: %user%. |
| Platform | The site that person is on, like twitch. The default %platform% is whoever started the action. Starts as: %platform%. |
| Free (no points, no per-viewer limit) | Tick so it costs no points and skips the request rules (requests closed, per-viewer limit). Unticked, the normal rules apply. Leave it ticked for your own actions. Starts as: true. |
