Media Commands
Media commands are chat-triggered sound and video clips. A viewer types !trigger, the configured audio file plays through your alert overlay, and — for video clips — the clip also appears in the same Browser Source. They are typically used for sound effects, short meme reactions, and stinger videos (the brief clips streamers play between scenes).
Media commands are managed on the Media Commands page (/media-commands) and require the media-commands.manage permission, which is granted to the Owner, every Admin, and every Moderator by default. The clips themselves are picked from your Media Library, so files must be uploaded there before they can be assigned to a command.
How they differ from regular commands
Because the output goes to the overlay rather than chat, the alert overlay Browser Source must be set up in OBS for the clip to be heard or seen. See the Alerts page for the Browser Source setup.
Creating a media command
Click New command on /media-commands and fill in:
Editing and deleting
Each row on the page has actions for edit, toggle on/off, and delete. Deleting a media command is permanent. The underlying media file in the library is not affected — only the trigger mapping is removed.
Permission concepts
Two different permission mechanisms apply:
media-commands.managecontrols which workspace members can view and edit the Media Commands page.- Minimum role on each individual command controls which Twitch chatters can trigger it in your chat.
These are independent of each other, as they are for Counters.
