Create a clip with your own title

Before you start

You need to be live on Twitch, with clips enabled for your channel. Clips are made as you, on your own Twitch account, so they are yours and follow your channel's clip settings. If Connections shows Update available for Twitch, choose Re-authorize there; until you do, your bot account makes the clips. The ready-made Clip it flow allows moderators and you to use !clip and includes a cooldown.

1. Open the clip flow

Open Flows, press Marketplace, and add Clip it on its own (it is in Starter). If you already have it, open your copy from Flows.
Switch to Canvas and select Create a clip.
In Title, type the name you want on each clip. Leave it empty to let Twitch choose the title.
To choose how long each clip is, open More options and type a number of seconds in Length (seconds), from 5 to 60. Leave it empty to let Twitch make its usual 30-second clip.
Choose Save, then turn on the flow if it is paused.

The Create a clip settings panel, with the Title field containing That dragon dodge and an Insert… menu on its label row, and the More options fold opened to show the optional Length (seconds) field, empty, with its note that 5 to 60 seconds are allowed and blank means Twitch’s 30. — The Create a clip step has an optional Title field and, under More options, an optional Length in seconds.

2. Let a moderator name the moment

Enter $(query) in Title to use everything typed after the command. For example, when a moderator types !clip That dragon dodge, the clip is titled “That dragon dodge”. Typing !clip alone leaves the title to Twitch. The Insert… menu beside the field offers other flow values, such as $(user) for the person who used the command.

To keep everyone else from making clips, leave the ready-made Who can trigger check connected before Create a clip. Add permissions and cooldowns explains those checks.

3. Check the result

Use Test fire and expand the Run log. When the test reaches Create a clip, its line shows the title it would request. The ready-made Clip it flow checks for a moderator first, and the default test viewer is turned away at that check. A test does not create a Twitch clip or post in chat. While you are live, use the command as a moderator in Twitch chat to check the real result: the bot replies with the clip link, and the clip uses your title.

If the flow says you are not live, try again during a stream. If Twitch refuses the clip, check that clips are enabled for your channel. If Connections shows Update available for Twitch, choose Re-authorize. Twitch can also refuse a title that fails its moderation checks; try a different title. A blank Title uses Twitch’s default.
