VIP¶
Overview¶
VIP is a little badge that says "this person is part of the crew." There are a few ways to get one: redeem it with channel points, have someone gift it to you, get recognized as a VIP of the month, or have a mod hand it to you. Most VIPs are temporary, and you can check how long yours has left any time.
Twitch only. VIP is a Twitch badge, so these commands don't do anything on Kick or YouTube.
Ways to get VIP¶
| How | How long |
|---|---|
| Redeem the Look Ma' I'm a VIP channel point reward | 3 weeks for subscribers, 2 weeks for everyone else |
| Someone redeems Pay it forward: VIP a friend for you | 3 weeks if you're a subscriber, 2 weeks if not |
| VIP of the month | Until the end of the month |
| A mod awards it | However many days they give |
Already a temporary VIP? Redeeming the reward again adds more time on top of what you have left.
There's a limited number of VIP slots for the channel point rewards. If they're all taken, the bot lets you know and your points are refunded automatically. Mods can't redeem VIP (they already have the sword).
Gift VIP¶
Got more channel points than you need? Pay the kindness forward. Redeem Pay it forward: VIP a friend, type their Twitch name, and they become a VIP. The bot tells chat who gifted it to whom.
- One gift a month. You can complete one gift per calendar month. It opens up again on the 1st. Linked accounts share the one gift.
- They get the time, not you. How long it lasts goes by whether they're a subscriber. If they're already a temporary VIP, your gift adds time on top.
- They need to be part of chat. The person has to have chatted in a few streams first, so gifts go to real regulars.
- No gifting yourself. Use Look Ma' I'm a VIP for that.
If a gift can't go through (a typo in the name, they're already a full VIP, the slots are full, or you've already gifted this month), the bot tells you why and your points come back. A refunded gift doesn't use up your month.
Commands¶
