The crowd fires these from the room page or with !confetti. Click one to change its colors, how much, how long — and test it on your overlay. Cooldowns keep it from becoming noise.

Banned words

Anything the crowd can put on your stream — messages, request titles, usernames — is checked against CrowdRig's built-in list (slurs, sexual and violent terms, common disguises like sh1t or f u c k) plus your own words below. The built-in list is always on.

OBS overlay

One browser source does it all. Pick the canvas that matches your stream, then paste the URL into OBS.

These switches live in the URL, so two scenes can use different mixes (a vertical one without the video, say). Positions and sizes are saved on the rig, below.

Start from a preset for your platform, then move things. Vertical canvases stack the cards from the top (or the middle); horizontal ones place each card where you say.

Preview with sample content, updated as you change things. Colors and sizes apply on the real overlay within a few seconds of saving.

Points come from the stream itself: the CrowdRig Chrome extension sits on your Whatnot live page and reports who is chatting, joining and buying — by exact username — once a minute. No viewer has to keep a page open, and nobody can farm points without being on your stream. It only reads; it never posts.

1. Install the extension in the Chrome you use for your stream.
2. Click its icon → Get a code.
3. Type the code here and click Link.

Room page

Viewers join your room here with their exact username; you approve them on the Crowd tab. Put the link and the join code in your bio, a panel or a pinned message.

Optional. The overlay already plays requests through YouTube. If you'd rather use your own Premium account, run the bridge on your streaming PC — easiest inside CrowdRig Desktop, or the bare bridge (zip) with Node 18+. Requests play in your music app at the end of the current song, and your queue comes back afterwards.

1. Start the bridge. It shows a 6-digit code.
2. Type the code here and click Link.

Twitch chat commands: start it with --chat=twitch:yourchannel and viewers can type !request, !vote 2 or !confetti in Twitch chat. It only listens — no bot account, and CrowdRig never posts in your chat. Replies show as a toast on your overlay.

CrowdRig Desktop

A small app for the streaming PC: your console in its own window, one-click OBS browser source, the music bridge built in. Windows, macOS and Linux. Download it, open it, click Get a code, and type the code here.

Linking gives the app a fresh console link for this rig; any console link you saved earlier stops working (you stay signed in here).

POST a signed JSON event to your own server when songs queue or play, polls open or close, effects fire, members ask to join, and your stream goes live. Verify with X-CrowdRig-Signature: sha256=HMAC-SHA256(secret, body).

Status

Unlisted rooms are reached only with the code. Approval is always yours unless you switch on automatic — banned people stay out either way.

Each person signed up with their exact platform username. Check it against your chat, then approve. Approved members get the welcome points plus anything they earned in your chat before they had an account.

Members earn points for what they do on your stream — chatting, buying, showing up, voting — as seen by the stream listener (Chrome extension) on your live page, and spend them on requests, effects and shoutouts. Nothing for you to log; skipped or declined things refund themselves. Points can't be bought, and keeping the room page open earns nothing by itself.

Multiplies everything viewers earn for a while — raids, milestones, the last half hour. The overlay and the crowd page both show it.

Gives points to every member seen on the stream in the last 10 minutes and shows a toast on the overlay. Use it for raids, hype moments, or a thank-you at the end.

Ledger

Each rig is its own overlay, crowd page and rules — a second show, a co-host, a test rig. Signed in, every rig in your account is one click away.
