When I started this project over 5 years ago, I never thought it would turn into what it has become now. Seeing videos on YouTube, watching the community grow, seeing people learning new skills, and just the range of things created, it just blows my mind to think -- I had a hand in that. To everyone in the community thank you, and to those who continue to use Streamer.bot. Thank you for the support; it lets me write and maintain Streamer.bot for you all.

As Streamer.bot continues to expand and grow, at its core it is my goal that it will always be free to use. But as it continues to grow and new features get added, some of those new features will cost money to maintain. By default, Streamer.bot has basically become my full-time job, and keeping Streamer.bot and all associated services running does cost money, some of which I deal with, but as time goes on it becomes harder to sustain. As such, with Streamer.bot 1.0, I am introducing Supporter Perks These will be features within Streamer.bot that will require an active subscription to my Patreon at the lowest tier (Thank You) to use. This will support both myself and the continued growth of Streamer.bot. To be perfectly honest – the more support there is on Patreon overall, the more that I can keep free.

Streamer.bot continues to exist because of your support. If you wish to support me, or this project, please head over to https://www.patreon.com/nate1280. Remember, supporter perks start at the Thank You tier. With the release of Streamer.bot 1.0 to stable today, on 25 August, the Thank You tier will be increasing to $3 a month, but you can still take advantage of the current $2 price on an annual subscription.

So enough of all the preamble, and onto the juicy stuff.

It’s been 10 months in the making, and today, August 20th on Streamer.bot’s 4-year anniversary, it’s changing the game again. Your stream, your rules – made better with Streamer.bot 1.0.

That’s right, Streamer.bot 1.0 is now generally available for everyone to use! Check for updates and get started with Streamer.bot 1.0!

What’s New?

Dark Mode

The most coveted feature, Dark Mode is finally here. Streamer.bot has received a complete redesign of its UI which also includes a Dark Mode. For those that still wish to have a Light Mode, there is an option to switch.

Kick Integration

Probably the second most requested feature is Kick Integration. Well, Streamer.bot 1.0 now supports Kick natively using its Public API, free for everyone to use.

Cloud Backups

Streamer.bot has always created its own backups every time it is started, but with 1.0 as a supporter perk, users will be able to create and upload backups to Streamer.bot's servers which can be recovered at any time.

Custom Webhooks

Custom Webhooks are being introduced as a supporter perk. These will allow users to create their own webhooks to (almost) any site that supports them.

Decks 2.0

Already released, and available for everyone to use, Streamer.bot's decks have gotten a massive overhaul thanks to the ongoing efforts of Whipstickgostop. Decks will remain mostly free; however, supporter perks will raise some of the limits on them.

Other Notable Changes

  • Nestable sub-action groups
  • Updates to Logic If/Else sub-action - sub-action can be directly added to them
  • New Logic sub-actions - Switch and While
  • C# Code editor now uses Monaco
  • HotKeys are now triggers and support any key combination
  • Support for YouTube's new PushAPI (near real-time chat and more efficient quota usage)
  • The ability to host your own files from the integrated HTTP Server
  • ... and so much more! This is just a taste of the major updates that are available in Streamer.bot 1.0, so be sure to also check the changelog to get a more detailed breakdown of the fixes, changes, and additions that come with 1.0.

To access your supporter perks, login to Patreon in your Streamer.bot Account Settings.

How to Connect to Kick

Due to the way Kick is set up, you will need to not only login to Kick within Streamer.bot, you will need to also login to the Streamer.bot Website and link your Kick account there. After this, you will be able to connect to the client. It requires you to be logged into Streamer.bot (bottom-left corner of your Streamer.bot window). If you are already logged in, go to the Kick platform, and make sure the Chat Client is connected.
