How to Customize the Name of Your Chat Bot

Have You ever wanted to personalize the name of your chat bot instead of it saying "Stream Elements"? In this article, we will explore two different ways you can customize the name of your chat bot, both of which require a Second Twitch account. So, let's dive right in and learn how to make your chat bot truly unique!

1. Using Stream Elements OBS.Live Plugin

The first method involves utilizing the Stream Elements OBS.Live plugin, which is an OBS plugin specifically designed for stream elements. To begin, if you don't already have the plugin, you can download it from the Stream Elements Website. Simply click on your Avatar, navigate to your dashboard, and select the option to download the OBS.Live plugin.

Once the plugin is downloaded, you will need to install it on your computer. After the installation is complete, open OBS.Live, which will appear like your regular OBS software. From the OBS.Live interface, log in with your Twitch account, following a few simple steps.

Once you are logged in, you will be prompted with various options such as connecting the Stream Elements bot, activating tipping, and building new alerts or overlays. For now, let's focus on setting a custom bot name.

To access the custom bot name settings, click on the hamburger menu icon located in the activity feed section of the Twitch window. From there, navigate to "Streamer Settings," where you will find various options, including the ability to set a custom bot name.

By selecting the "Custom Bot Name" option, you can set a unique name for your chat bot. This name can be the same as your main Twitch account or any desired name you prefer. This customization allows you to connect the custom bot account, giving you more control over your chat bot's identity.

To connect the custom bot account, you will need to authenticate the account by logging in with your bot's credentials. Simply enter the username and password of the bot account you want to use, and allow the authentication process to complete. Note that if your bot account has two-factor authentication enabled, you will need to enter a token received via SMS.

Once the authentication is successful, click the "Save" button to finalize the settings. From this point forward, whenever your chat bot sends a message, it will display the custom bot name instead of "Stream Elements."

To ensure everything is working correctly, it's recommended to send a test message in your chat. Verify that the message shows your custom bot name as expected. If so, congratulations! You have successfully customized the name of your chat bot!
