Clip command (!clip)

With the KickBot clip command, viewers type !clip in your Kick chat while you are live. KickBot saves the last 30 seconds of your stream as a clip and posts the link in chat, for example @KickBotDev https://kickbot.com/clip/48fm1hd9. A viewer can also ask for a length, like !clip 60. You turn it on and set it up on the Clip command page under Chat bot.

Every clip also goes to your public clip page at kickbot.com/clips/yourchannel. See clip pages.

All clip command settings are on one page.

Turn on the clip command

You need KickBot as a moderator in your channel, so it can post the link.

1. Open kickbot.com/dashboard/clipcommand.
2. Turn on Clip command enabled.
3. Under Who can use it, pick who can make clips.
4. Go live and type !clip in your chat to test it.

Note

After you turn it on, the command can take a few minutes to start working.

How viewers use it

Viewer types	KickBot makes
!clip	A clip with your default length (30 seconds unless you change it)
!clip 45	A 45-second clip
!clip 500	A clip with your maximum length, because 500 is more than the maximum

The clip covers the time just before the viewer typed the command. It works only while you are live. When you are offline, KickBot does not make a clip and does not reply.

To stop spam, one viewer can make one clip at a time, with a short wait between clips.

Settings

Setting	What it does	Limits and default
Clip command enabled	Turns !clip on or off in your chat.	Off until you turn it on.

Who can use it

With Everyone, anyone in your chat can clip. Turn Everyone off and pick Subs, VIPs or Mods (or more than one) to limit it. For example, Subs and Mods lets only subscribers and moderators clip. The text under the buttons tells you who can clip now.

Clip length

Set Default length and Maximum length with the sliders. For example, with a default of 30 and a maximum of 90, !clip makes a 30-second clip and !clip 200 makes a 90-second clip.

Reply in chat

Type the message in Message and press Enter to save it (Escape undoes your edit). Use Insert to add these variables:

• {user}: the viewer who typed !clip
• {clip_url}: the link to the clip

For example, Clip saved by @{user}: {clip_url} posts Clip saved by @KickBotDev: https://kickbot.com/clip/48fm1hd9. The Preview under the box shows the result.

Note

On the Free plan, the clip length is set by KickBot (30 seconds by default, up to 120 seconds) and the reply is the standard @{user} {clip_url}. With Premium you set the default and maximum length (up to 240 seconds) and write your own reply.

Find and manage your clips

• Created clips at the bottom of the page lists every clip made with !clip. Sort it by Newest first, Oldest first, Most views or Least views.
• To delete one clip, use the menu on the clip. To delete many, click Select, pick the clips and click Delete selected. You cannot undo this.
• Your clips page at the top opens your public page at kickbot.com/clips/yourchannel, where viewers can watch and share your clips.

You can also make a clip with one key from a Stream Deck. See Stream Deck. To download clips as MP4 files, see the clip downloader.

Troubleshooting

If !clip does not answer:

• KickBot is not a moderator. See add KickBot as a moderator.
• You are offline. Clips work only while you are live.
• You just turned it on. Wait a few minutes.
• The viewer is not in a group that can clip. Check Who can use it.
• The viewer clipped a moment ago. Each viewer can make one clip at a time. Wait a few seconds and try again.
