Stream Deck plugin

The KickBot plugin for the Elgato Stream Deck puts Kick controls on your keys. With one press you can make a clip, send a chat message, turn slow mode or subs-only chat on and off, clear the chat, or skip a TTS message. You install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace and connect it with your Stream Deck key from kickbot.com/dashboard/settings.

The plugin runs on Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.11 or later, with the Stream Deck app version 5.0 or later.

Before you start

• You need a KickBot account with your Kick channel connected. See create your account.
• KickBot must be a moderator in your channel. Every action runs through the KickBot account in your chat. See add KickBot as a moderator.
• Only the channel owner and admins can see the Stream Deck key.

Install the plugin

1. Install the Stream Deck app from elgato.com if you do not have it yet.
2. Open the KickBot plugin on the Elgato Marketplace and install it.
3. Open the Stream Deck app. A KickBot category shows in the list of actions on the right.

Connect the plugin to KickBot

1. Open kickbot.com/dashboard/settings, or click Account in the left menu, then Settings.
2. Go to the Stream Deck group. Click Show to see your API key, or click Copy to copy it.
3. In the Stream Deck app, drag a KickBot action onto a key.
4. Click the key. In the settings under the key list, paste the key in the KickBot Key box.
5. Do steps 3 and 4 for each KickBot action that you add.

If the Stream Deck group shows Link Kick account, connect your Kick channel first.

Caution

Keep the key private. Anyone with the key can clear your chat, change chat modes and send messages as KickBot in your channel. Do not show it on stream.

Get a new key

If someone else saw your key, go to Danger zone on the settings page and click Regenerate Stream Deck key. The old key stops working at once. Paste the new key into every KickBot action in the Stream Deck app.

Actions

Action	What it does
Create clip	Types !clip in your chat as KickBot, so the !clip command makes a clip. Set Clip Length in the action, from 1 to 120 seconds (default 30).
Send message	Posts your text in chat as KickBot. Type the text in the Message Text box of the action.
Clear chat	Deletes all messages in your Kick chat, like Kick’s /clear command.
Chat slow mode	Turns slow mode on or off.
Followers only chat mode	Turns followers-only chat on or off.
Subs only chat mode	Turns subscribers-only chat on or off.
Emotes only chat mode	Turns emotes-only chat on or off.
Remove chat restrictions	Turns off slow mode, followers-only, subs-only and emotes-only chat in one press.
Toggle TTS	Turns KickBot TTS on or off. The key shows if TTS is on or off.
Skip current TTS message	Stops the TTS message that is playing and goes to the next one.
Clear TTS queue	Removes all TTS messages that wait to play.

When you change a chat mode or TTS from the Stream Deck, KickBot posts a short message in chat, for example “Slow mode has been enabled.” or “TTS has been skipped.”

Good to know

Create clip needs the clip command to be on. The clip uses the length that you set on the key, up to the maximum length in your clip command settings.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens when I press a key. Check that KickBot is a moderator in your channel. Type /mod KickBot in your Kick chat. Then check the KickBot Key in the action.
• It stopped after I made a new key. A new key makes the old one stop working. Paste the new key into every KickBot action.
• Create clip posts !clip but no clip is made. Turn on the clip command at kickbot.com/dashboard/clipcommand. Clips only work while you are live.
• I do not see the Stream Deck group in Settings. Only the channel owner and admins can see it. Ask the owner for the key.
