What is going on guys, welcome back to another video on the Gaming Careers YouTube channel. My name is Pete and today we're going to be talking about chat bots for your Twitch or YouTube chat and specifically we're going to be talking about one of the most popular bots which is called nightbot. Now you might be wondering what a chat bot is, you might have seen it but not really know exactly what it does. A chat bot is a piece of software that sits in your Twitch or your YouTube stream chat and it helps moderate and respond to certain commands so that you're less distracted by answering simple questions or moderating the chat from spam and things like that and you can concentrate on playing the game instead and answering real questions from your fans some of the features that night but allows you to customize are things like spam filtering so if you have certain users always spamming certain things you can allow night box to moderate that and timeout or ban certain chatters that are abusing the system. You can have nightbot respond to some custom commands, if your viewers always want to know you know how long you've been streaming for or what your current rating is or something like what the current song playing is you can allow nightbot to respond to certain commands like those. You can set nightbot to send promotional messages every certain number of minutes so if you want to be you know sharing your Instagram, your YouTube, your Twitter profiles, you can set nightbot to automatically post these things every so often. Now these are just a handful of the different features that nightbot allows you to customize and in this video we're going to be helping you set it up your Twitch or YouTube stream as well as customizing some of these features that we've been talking about in this intro, so let's dive in! So to get started the first thing that you're going to need to do is to head to the nightbot website, that is nightbot.tv and you should be greeted with a screen similar to this and we're going to click sign up. Now like many of these streaming services that we use you're going to need to authorize either your Twitch or your YouTube account to connect with nightbot so for me I'm going to be using Twitch but the process is exactly the same for YouTube you're basically going to log into your Twitch or YouTube account and authorize the nightbot application to use some of your Twitch credentials. Once you've authorized your Twitch or YouTube accounts you should be taken to the dashboard, now the dashboard is sort of a central location where you can see some statistics about how nightbot has been interacting with your chat, such as you know how many commands or timeouts or messages it's sent as well as things like who your top chatter is or what the top command is what people are requesting from nightbot the most. Now before we start playing around with all the different settings and commands the first thing that we need to do is to have nightbot actually join our Twitch channel. So if you click join channel up in the top right you're going to get a little pop-up window saying the nightbot has joined your channel but you need to make sure that you give nightbot the moderator status in your Twitch chat. If you are doing this with YouTube currently you need to make sure that you're live when you're joining nightbot into your channel, this is just to do with the API limits on YouTube currently so hopefully that won't be a case for too much longer. But once you have had nightbot join your channel if you head over to your Twitch and YouTube channels to make sure that you add nightbot to a moderator. So for twitch if we go to our Twitch channel and as the instructions says we type in "/mod nightbot" to give nightbot the moderator status. You should see a text message just saying that you have added nightbot as a moderator of this room. Believe it or not that is actually all of the setup that you need to do to have nightbot as part of your channel everything else now is tinkering with the options to get nightbot to work in a specific way that you want it to. Now down the left hand side you should have a list of all the different things you can set up for nightbot, we'll start with commands so if you click commands and then click default we can see a list of the default commands that nightbot has set up for us. Now as you can see there's quite a few default once set up there's things like showing the current game that you're streaming, running commercials updating the title, things like that. nightbot has already set these up and as you can see over on the right-hand side for each one you can click to read some more information in the docs and that's a really good place if you want to understand a little bit more about what that command is doing, so I'd highly recommend any of them that you're not sure about what they're going to do click the docs link and nightbot has a really good documentation section where you can learn a lot more about how the commands work. You also have the option to disable or enable the command if you wish to and if you click options it's going to open up a new window where you can customize which level of user can actually access that command, so if they type in what level of user is actually going to get some response back from nightbot as well as some other options depending on the command so why don't we look into one, let's have a look at the game command and click options. Now the game command, if somebody types in !game into your chat, that will get nightbot to respond with the current game that is being played on the stream. The default user level for the !game command is set to everyone, which means anybody in your chat can type the command, however the game option also allows moderators or higher user levels to update the game so if they do "!game CS:GO" then nightbot will update the game to reflect that but only moderators or higher user levels can modify the game, if somebody else tries to do it they'll get message saying that they can't edit it. The cooldown box below is just a way of being able to set what you want the cooldown to be so this is the minimum amount of time before the command can be used again so you obviously don't want to set this super low because you don't want people spamming your chat just to get response out of nightbot and people don't really need to know what the game is more than every 10 seconds or so. So you can like this across to be whatever cooldown you'd like when you're happy with your changes you can just click Submit. Now I'm not going to go through every single one of the commands because there's plenty of documentation explaining exactly what each command allows you to do but I would advise spending some time here and just making sure that you're only enabling the commands that you want to and you really understand how the nightbot system works so spend some time going through these default commands and when you're ready we can resume the video and we're going to add a custom command by clicking the custom button just underneath commands here. Now in the custom commands we should see a table which will currently be empty because we haven't added any custom commands but we are going to click the add command button in the top right and a new window should pop up. Now as we can see nightbot has actually provided us with an example which we will go along with so let's say we wanted to create a command that would allow users to be able to find out from nightbot a link to our YouTube channel. So as we can see in the example here !youtube is the command that we could choose but this could be absolutely anything you wanted, it could be !youtubechannel, you don't even have to have an exclamation mark before it but it's worth having that just because you don't want nightbot spamming when people are just having a conversation and mentioning the word YouTube, you'd prefer them to actually be requesting something from nightbot and the typical way of doing that is with an exclamation mark beforehand. So for command let's do !youtube. Now the message box is what you want nightbot to respond to this command, so the example that they have there is a short description saying you know subscribe to my YouTube and then a link to your YouTube channel. That's really the basic implementation you can do some things with command variables you'll see there a link underneath the message where you can click command variables which allows you to you know add some dynamic responses so that you can actually respond to the user and call their username if you'd like to or you know a lot of other things but I think for this example we'll just keep it nice and simple, follow the example and you know have subscribe to my YouTube and then paste your link into your YouTube channel. Next we've got those two commands that we've looked at before the user level and the cooldown, so user level is which kind of access level you want to set for people to be able to execute the command, so something like this you want everyone within your chat to be able to write the command and get a response from nightbot, but if you do want to restrict it to a higher user level, you just click the down arrow and then you can set from everyone, subscribe, regular, moderator, or owner but for something like this we're going to leave it at everyone. Cooldown as before is the minimum amount of time before the command can be used again, so something in the range of you know 10 seconds should be fine for this and finally we get an option for an alias, we don't need to worry about this for this command but if you want you know nightbot to respond to a number of different commands and you know if they said youtube or youtube channel or link to youtube or something like that you could create commands for all of them and then link the alias back to this one. Once we're happy we can click Submit and then you should see the table update with your new custom command and we get some options on the right-hand side to edit or delete if we want to. Next we'll look at the giveaways tab which maybe is a little bit different to the rest of the nightbot system but this is basically a way for you to be able to give well do a giveaway on your stream so that one of your viewers or chatters can win something. So when you load up the giveaways page and you'll need to come to this page when you want to do a giveaway, you should be presented with an eligibility list, a giveaway panel and a chat window as we can see here. We'll get through all of those now so the eligibility list that is the pool of users which have the chance to win the current giveaway you can toggle users ability to be eligible by just clicking the mark next to their name, the next panel is the giveaway panel which allows you to choose what type of giveaway you are wanting to do. Firstly you can see who you want to make the giveaway eligible for so the blue surrounded boxes are who it's eligible for so maybe you want to disclude your mods from a giveaway or you want to do a giveaway just for your subscribers and regulars or something like that or maybe you want to giveaway and anybody can win and you want to select them all, you just basically set that up here. Next we have the giveaway type so there's a few different ways of choosing a winner that nightbot allows you to do so the first one is active user and that will select a user that has chatted in a defined length of time, so if they're an active user that is basically defined by nightbot as if they have chatted in the last X minutes. As you can see under active user you can give extra luck which basically means a slightly higher chance for your subscribers or regulars to win if you want to or you can set it so that everybody has an equal chance and the third option there, the active timer that allows you to choose what amount of time they have to have chatted within to be considered an active user. The next giveaway type is keyword and again we have the options for subscriber luck and regular luck if you want to provide a better chance for a subscriber or a regular to win. Next you need to choose the keyword that people need to send in chat to be entered into the giveaway. Finally we get the anti-spam option which means that you can mark your users as not able to take part in the competition if they constantly spam the keyword multiple times, so you know if you don't want you track completely filled by people spamming the word over and over again even though they've already been entered, then you can set it so that they are removed if they keep spamming it. The final giveaway type that we're going to do is random number, this will basically generate a random number between two pick numbers so the default of 0 and 100 and the first user to type that number into your chat is generated the winner. So if you're going to do this one then I really encourage you not to have this screen in your OBS because you don't want users to see what the the winning number was but you generate a random number between 0 and 100 and nightbot will choose whoever chats that number first so you're going to get lots of spam message from your users trying to guess the number between 0 100. Whichever giveaway type you select if you click roll it then nightbot will start the giveaway and pick a winner so once a user has won a giveaway that profile image will be displayed and then there'll be options to visit their Twitch channel page or send a direct message to them so that you can easily get in contact with your winner. The next option I guess is logs but that's just some history of what nightbot has done so we won't really look into that in too much detail and regulars is a way for you to add certain users to your regulars list if you want to you know honor some people that maybe aren't subscribers to your channel that are regulars in chat and you want them to be recognized by nightbot. The next option will see is song requests and I know this is a really requested feature but it's something that I really want to go into proper amount of detail into especially setting up things like Spotify and I'm wary that this video is already running on quite a bit so I'm going to create a separate video for dealing with song requests and the auto DJ system in nightbot, let me know if you are like really keen for that video and I'll try and bump it up the priority list and get that out sooner rather than later for you guys. So the next section we'll move on to is span protection and this is a way for nightbot to be able to moderate your chat and time out certain users for you know breaking certain rules. So you'll see this is similar to the commands list there's some defaults already set up and you can you know enable or disable any of these and click options if you want to customize, so for let's say blacklisted words or phrases, if we click options this new window pops up and we can then enter a list of words or phrases that you wish nightbot to block. The next option is the timeout length this is the maximum amount of time that nightbot will timeout the user that has used the blacklisted word or phrase for. The way that nightbot works is that the first time somebody breaks an offense, so the first time somebody uses a blacklisted word let's say, they will get a five-second timeout and a message saying that they've used a banned word, if they repeat the offense again nightbot remembers who the users are and they will then be banned for the length that you enter into this box. Next option is the exempt user level so you can set what level of user will be not included for this filter so if you want your moderators to be able to use some of these words then you can set that level here. The silent option below is basically for much busier channels where you don't want nightbot to be constantly sending out its timeout message in the chat, you can here enable silent mode and nightbot won't send a message saying that user has been timed out that xy&z, so it won't be flooding your chat. It will still filter out the user and give them a timeout if they're breaking the rules but it will no longer give the message to punished users. The final box allows you to set a custom message if you would like to and this is again the message that nightbot will send to your user in chat, if you leave it blank then it will just be a default message that nightbot has already got set up. Once you're happy with your filter then you can click Submit and I really recommend again similar to the commands spending some time here looking at the spam protection filters and just setting them up exactly as you want in chat making sure that you're black listing certain words that you don't want to be seen in your chat and you know enabling or disabling excessive caps or remotes and links and things like that and just making sure that you're getting the user levels right to allow your moderators if you want to allow them to be able to you know post links and things like that then you need to make sure that you have that set up in the options. The final thing that we'll look at today is the timers option and this is a way of being able to create a message that nightbot sends on a certain timer so maybe the example that we'll do today is having nightbot send your social media links every let's say 10 minutes to your chat. So on the timer's page if we click the Add button we should get a new window and similar to the custom commands that we had earlier nightbot has sort of half filled in a form for us to give an example. So the example were going to be doing is the same one that they've got filled in here so let's do our social links that will be sent every 10 minutes. The first box is just the name and this doesn't interact at all we give chat this is just purely for you when you come back to the timer's page for you to know which timer is which so they give the option of social links that sounds good to me too let's type in social links. The next box is the actual message that you wish nightbot to send on the timer so let's fill this out properly with some links to you know YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat whatever social media you want to let your users know that they can follow you at, we can add the message in here as well as the links. The interval is how often you want nightbot to send this message and it's worth noting that this is the actual interval on the hour so if you set every 15 minutes that would be 14:00, 14:15, 14:30, 14:45. We're going to set every 10 minutes so that will be 14:00, 14:10, 14:20 and so on and so forth. The chat lines option is a useful one this is basically the number of lines of chat or the minimum number of chat lines that nightbot needs to have in between each interval for it to send the message so you know if you're just starting out and you haven't got many users chatting and you're just trying to get your name out there for streaming, you don't want nightbot to be the only thing talking in chat every 10 minutes just sending the same message and there to be no chat in between so this option allows nightbot to actually check how many lines of chat there have been between its last interval and this next one and if there haven't been this number of chat lines then it won't send the next interval message. So the default is 2, I like to put this up to you know around 5 because even with 2 lines of chat between each social links message it can look a little bit spammy so I'm going to change this to 5 and we'll move on to alias. Alias just like the alias that we had in commands is just a way for the timer to call a custom command when it is run so if you wanted to you know run something else every time it's called then you can set that here but we're just going to leave that completely blank. Other timer examples are things like reminding your users to subscribe if you have the option to subscribe or follow your stream, I'd just be a bit wary of being a bit spammy in your chat you don't want nightbot to be you know your most active chatter, you want it to be there to facilitate your users and help them when they have a custom command. So that's pretty much it for the nightbot commands I know I'll do a completely separate episode going into a lot of detail on song requests, because that kind of need its own episode to go into the detail of Spotify andYouTube. Now that you've kind of got it setup, I would recommend just before you go live just having a play around in your actual Twitch or YouTube chat with some of the commands make sure that nightbot is responding as you expect it to you know if you're going to do a giveaway make sure you kind of tested that with a few your users in chat beforehand so it doesn't mess up on the first time that you run it but you can always come back to this dashboard and play around with the commands after you've got some experience using them and seeing how your users interact with them.
