If you spend a bit of time on different Twitch channels, you’ll notice that users type things into the chat to trigger actions and provide information. These are called chat commands.
There are commands which everyone can use, like changing your username color or voting in a poll, and there are commands specific to moderators and broadcasters, like banning a user or rolling a commercial.
Whether you’re a viewer or a streamer, we’ve rounded up a list of all the Twitch commands you need to know. Best of all, these work across all platforms—simply type them into the chat and hit send.

Twitch Commands for Viewers and Streamers
Protect Your Twitch Chat
If you’re a streamer and you don’t want just anyone typing in your Twitch chat, you can impose limitations. For example, you can limit the chat to verified accounts or those that subscribe to you. This is especially useful if you’re suffering from trolls, or are a large channel where your chat has grown too unwieldy to moderate.
