Everything your Twitch channel needs – in one free dashboard

ByteMate combines a chat bot, moderation tools, stream automation, multiviewer and OBS overlays in a single web dashboard. Built for streamers and their moderation teams.

Chat commands & variables

Default and custom commands you fully control – from cooldowns and user levels to a flexible variable system for dynamic responses.

  • Default commands across Information, Moderation, Stream Management, and Utility
  • Custom commands with aliases, response templates, and a $(variable) system
  • Global and per-user cooldowns, plus user-level restrictions
  • Grant specific viewers access to commands above their level – temporary or permanent
  • Public command overview at bytemate.me/commands/[yourchannel]

Chat alerts for every Twitch event

Automated chat messages for subs, raids, bits, follows, watch streaks, and ad breaks – each with its own text and trigger conditions.

  • Separate alerts for follows, subs, resubs, gift subs, bits, raids, and watch streak milestones
  • Ad-break start and end alerts
  • Custom message and variables per alert
  • Choose whether an alert fires always, only online, or only offline
  • Optional followbot protection: auto-enables Twitch shield mode on suspicious bursts

Engage and grow your community

Reward your most active viewers, keep your stream lively, and make every incoming raid feel like an event.

  • Watchtime tracking with !watchtime, !topwatchtime, !watchrank and a Top-5 leaderboard – import from StreamElements or any CSV
  • Counters and quotes your viewers can call up via chat command, plus automatic recurring timer announcements
  • Subathon timer that automatically extends on subs, bits, raids, and follows – with OBS overlay
  • Raid shoutout via !so or automatically after every raid (Premium) – with custom message, /shoutout command, optional clip-player overlay, and raid tracker for stats
  • Auto-VIP via channel point rewards – duration in days, months, or unlimited

Giveaways, polls & bingo

Pull winners straight from chat, get quick feedback from your viewers with a live poll, or play a bingo round together – all with OBS overlays if you want them.

  • Giveaways via keyword (e.g. !join) or active chat – optionally subs-only or followers-only
  • Live wheel overlay for OBS that shows participants and the draw
  • Exclude specific viewers from draws – handy for skipping previous winners across multiple giveaway rounds
  • Polls and ratings with a live result overlay, voted by number or keyword
  • Bingo overlay you can mark live during the stream

Multiviewer & clip tools

Watch several Twitch streams at once, search clips across channels, browse past broadcasts, and let your chat create clips on command.

  • Multiviewer: up to 4 Twitch streams side by side with chat
  • Shareable multiviewer layouts via URL
  • Clip finder: search clips across channels by title, creator, or time range
  • VOD viewer: browse past streams, highlights, and uploads with filters
  • !clip command in chat for your viewers, with cooldowns and a custom response

Chat overlay with 7TV / BTTV / FFZ emotes

A browser-source chat overlay for OBS that renders Twitch chat the way your viewers actually see it – with all third-party emotes.

  • Browser source – drop the URL into OBS, no plugins required
  • Native 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ emote support
  • Design presets like Darkglass, Neon, Retro, Pixel, or no background
  • Fine-tune colors, fonts, spacing, glow, and the chat box per scene
  • Optional ADHD mode (Bionic Reading) and auto-hide for old messages

Word & spam filter

Keep your chat clean automatically. Block words, links, or spammy patterns and decide for each rule what should happen – from removing the message to a long timeout.

  • Block specific words or phrases in messages, in usernames, or both
  • Pick an action per rule: delete, warning, timeout, or ban – optionally with a short chat reply
  • Built-in spam detection for links, caps lock, emote spam, repetition, flooding, and walls of text – with a domain allowlist and !permit for trusted viewers
  • Exempt subs, VIPs, or mods from any rule with one toggle
  • Repeat-offender mode that automatically extends the timeout for each new violation

Discord notifications

Keep your Discord community in the loop automatically – post when you go live, when streamers you support go live, when new clips drop, and when you upload to YouTube.

  • Go-live alerts in the Discord channel of your choice
  • Live shoutouts for other Twitch streamers you want to support
  • Auto-post new Twitch clips with title, creator, and view count
  • YouTube upload and livestream alerts in their own Discord channel (Premium)
  • Mention specific roles or @everyone directly from the alert text

Your mod team in the dashboard

Your Twitch moderators get automatic access to the dashboard. You can also invite extra helpers and decide exactly what each person is allowed to use.

  • Your Twitch mods are part of the team automatically – no inviting, no setup needed
  • Optionally add people who aren't Twitch mods – e.g. an editor or community manager
  • Pick exactly which areas each person can use – commands, giveaways, filters, and more
  • Change or revoke a person's access anytime
  • Sensitive things like billing stay with you, the channel owner

Optional add-ons

The full ByteMate experience above is free. A small set of advanced features lives behind an optional Premium or Premium Plus subscription.

Premium

Mod Tool – multi-channel moderation

If you moderate for several streamers, the Mod Tool lets you run bans, timeouts, and unbans across many channels at once. Includes Mod Alerts to warn other ByteMate mods about a problematic viewer in real time.

Premium Plus

ByteMate AI

Lets the bot reply in chat with its own configurable personality – on mention, at a random interval, or via the $(ai …) variable inside commands, timers, alerts, and triggers. Up to 2000 characters of custom personality.

ByteMate itself stays free. Premium tiers are optional and only unlock advanced capacity and specialized features.
