What’s new in Bloopbot

New features and changes to Bloopbot, newest first, each with the guide that shows you how to use it.

A guide to marking moments in your VOD

The Stream marker step drops a marker in your VOD when a flow runs, so you can find that moment again in Twitch’s highlight editor after the stream. Its optional Note can name who or what it was, such as the raider.

Mark a moment for your highlights is a new walkthrough: bookmark every raid of ten or more viewers, then shout out the raider.

Bring your commands over from Nightbot or StreamElements

Bloopbot can read your channel’s public command list on Nightbot or StreamElements and turn each command into its own flow. You don’t sign in to the old bot, and nothing changes there.

Coming from Nightbot and Coming from StreamElements show every step.

Share flows with other streamers, and install theirs

Sign in with email when Twitch can’t

Add a backup sign-in email under Account, confirm it, and you can still open your dashboard if you ever can’t sign in with Twitch. It doesn’t create a new account: it signs you in to the one you already have.

Keep a backup way to sign in walks through it.

A new sidebar: Build, Run and Manage

The sidebar is now a narrow strip of buttons with a panel of pages beside it. Build holds Flows and Widgets, Run holds what you use during a stream, and Manage holds what you set once or check afterwards.

The sidebar lists where every page lives.

Pages offer the flows that feed them

When no flow is on to drive a page, the page says so and offers to install the flows it needs, paused, for you to switch on.

New guides for your bot account, quotes, schedule and more

Tell how a poll or prediction ended

With When it set to Ends, the Twitch poll changes and Twitch prediction changes triggers now have an Outcome field. A prediction flow can tell Resolved (winner paid out) from Cancelled (points refunded), so a cancelled prediction never claims a winner.

Choose the moment lists every choice.

The link filter now catches a link written to slip past it: spaced or spelled out (example dot com), in look-alike or fancy letters, or broken up with invisible characters. The blacklist sees through the same disguises.

Whatever a filter does — warn, delete or time out — the message it caught is now always deleted. A first-offence warning only spares the viewer the timeout. See Add a helper flow.

Alerts live on your overlays

Add an alert from Add in any overlay’s editor: follow, sub, resub, gift sub, cheer, raid, redemption or custom.

Show alerts on stream covers designs, testing, media and the live queue.

A !deaths counter and a hello for first-time chatters

Giveaways get their own page and a panel for OBS

A giveaway is now a record with its own rules: the prize, the word that enters it, how many winners there are, and how a winner claims it. Set it up once and open it when you are ready.

The Giveaway widget puts it on stream: the prize, the keyword, how many entries are in, the last few people who entered, and the draw itself. Run a giveaway in chat goes from the rules to the winner.

Let a failed attempt try again

The Cooldown step has a Reset connection. Wire the error branch of a step that can fail into it, and a viewer whose attempt went wrong can try again straight away instead of waiting out the cooldown.

Let a failed attempt try again shows how.

Pin, badge or hide a chat message from a flow

A flow can now pin a message in your on-stream chat box, give it a badge such as Rank $(rank), or hide it. Make your chat box react to chat shows each one.

Build one overlay from several pieces

An overlay is now made of layers: a chat box, a goal bar and a counter can sit on one overlay, each where you put it. Arrange your overlay shows how.

Pick your real Twitch rewards

A channel points flow’s Reward field lists the rewards your channel has, with what each one costs, so you pick instead of typing a name. A reward renamed on Twitch shows as (not on Twitch now) until you pick the new one.

Pick the reward has the details.

Ask the AI judge inside a flow

AI: yes or no and AI: route by meaning are two new condition nodes: ask a plain-English question about a chat message, and branch a flow on the answer instead of hard-coding rules. Not available on every channel yet — check Your plan from the Flows page.

Ask the AI judge in a flow shows both nodes.

React to polls, predictions and hype trains

Bloopbot can now announce a poll winner, say who won a prediction and how many points were in play, and cheer each hype train level — install the ready-made reactions, or start a poll or prediction from a flow and lock or settle it later. Test fire plays a realistic made-up event so you can check a reaction before it runs for real.

React to polls, predictions and hype trains has the details.

Move a goal bar or on-screen counter from a flow

A goal bar or a counter widget can now follow a variable your flows keep, so a chat command, a bits cheer or a raid can move the number on screen. The On-screen numbers pack sets one up in a click.

Move a goal bar or counter from a flow shows how.

Build any command or behaviour as a flow

Commands, alerts and timers are now built as flows: connect a trigger, an optional condition and an action on a canvas, then use Test fire to check it before it goes live.

Build a flow on the canvas explains the three parts, and Create your first chat command builds one from the Simple command template.

Speak in chat under your own bot account

Link a second Twitch account under Connections → Bot account, and every chat reply, announcement and moderation action from your flows comes from that name instead of the shared bot. Your flows, commands and widgets stay exactly as they are; only the name in chat changes.

Use your own bot account walks through linking it.
