What Twitch adds

A connected Twitch Verb can:
  • Chat with viewers in your channel
  • React to follows, subscriptions, cheers, raids, and Channel Point events
  • Create polls and announcements when Twitch allows it
  • Help with moderation, including timeouts, bans, blocked terms, and AutoMod
  • Use supported stream tools such as clips, markers, shoutouts, and stream details
  • Keep the same personality, memory, knowledge, and visual identity it has elsewhere

​
Why Twitch asks for two accounts

Twitch needs two separate authorizations:
  1. Your broadcaster account gives the Verb permission to work in your channel.
  2. A separate bot account is the name and profile picture viewers see in chat.
The two accounts must be different. Verba never asks for either password and you do not need to paste a bot token.
Twitch controls the bot account’s username, profile picture, and banner. Set those on Twitch so the public bot identity matches the character you want.

​
Connect Twitch

1

Prepare the bot account

Create or choose the Twitch account viewers should see as this Verb. Do not use your broadcaster account for the bot step.
2

Start in Verba

Open the Verb’s Twitch page and select Connect channel & bot with Twitch.
3

Authorize your channel

Sign in as the broadcaster and approve the requested permissions.
4

Authorize the bot

Twitch opens a second authorization screen. Switch to the separate bot account, check the account name carefully, and approve chat access.
5

Choose features

Enable only the feature groups you want the Verb to use: conversation, moderation, stream tools, content, or engagement.
If the second authorization is interrupted, the Twitch page keeps the setup pending so you can continue with Authorize bot account with Twitch.

​
Twitch controls

Image generation, voice messages, multi-message replies, and autonomous behavior are configured in the matching Verba engine pages instead.

​
Twitch commands

Twitch reserves slash commands for Twitch itself, so Verba’s custom chat commands use !: Every command has its own toggle on the Twitch page. There is no standalone voice command. When Voice Engine is enabled, a voice message may be added beside a normal reply when the Verb decides it fits.

​
Images, GIFs, and voice messages

  • Twitch chat receives generated images as links because Twitch does not support general image uploads in chat.
  • Twitch does not support general GIF uploads. Native Twitch emotes are still available when enabled.
  • Voice messages are shared as playable links alongside the normal text reply.
  • If a prompt refers to the Verb’s appearance, Verba can use its profile picture and banner as visual references.
Twitch does not provide native voice calling for bots.

​
Memory and personality

The Verb keeps its personality, instructions, knowledge, training, social state, and memory on Twitch. Recent context is kept for the connected channel and Verb. Auto Memory can save useful details when you enable it.

​
Important limitations

  • Custom Verba commands cannot use /; Twitch reserves slash commands.
  • Twitch chat does not have Slack-style threads or reactions.
  • Polls, predictions, moderation, and stream tools depend on Twitch permissions and channel eligibility.
  • The bot must be a real, separately authorized Twitch account.
  • Twitch does not provide native bot calling or audio participation.
If the connection fails, check that the broadcaster and bot accounts are different and that you completed both authorization screens.
