NOTE: This article still very much does the trick, but there is a more bite sized series you can find here, where much of the unnecessary text has been cleaned up and the articles are more focused per subject.

You’re probably here because you want to make a Twitch command. A cool little feature that spices up your video chat or, in my case, that of someone else.

For the people that stumbled across this thinking: “Wait, what? Twitch commands?” — A Twitch command is a trigger set up in the viewer chat that, when invoked, usually returns an automated message.

It’s meant mostly to summon more interest for the stream and to engage viewers more.

If you’re part of the former group and have been looking online for an easy guide to create such a command, I was you not so long ago.

Backstory time!

In a matter of a couple of months, I had made friends with a very cool streamer on Twitch: theSlychemist.

After seeing the time and effort this guy was putting into his work and the overall kind demeanor, I decided to make it a personal goal to help him grow his channel.
