Nightbot App

In order to provide some extra functionality to song requests, we've created a small app for Windows and MacOS. With this app you'll be able to show the current song in your streaming software (such as OBS) and use hotkeys for song requests.

Current Song Output​

On Windows and MacOS, we output a file in the Nightbot folder within your Documents folder. Here are the default paths:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Nightbot\
  • MacOS: /Users/USERNAME/Documents/Nightbot/

You can customize the output of this file from the Settings menu on the Song Requests page.

Hotkeys​

There are global hotkeys to make controlling song requests when streaming easier. These hotkeys make use of media keys, so if your keyboard does not support them you're not able to use them at this time.

  • Skip Song: Fast Forward Media Key
  • Play/Pause Toggle: Play/Pause Media Key
  • Volume Up: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + U
  • Volume Down: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D

Streaming copyrighted music content may result in negative consequences for your stream. Many music content publishers (Monstercat, Ninety9Lives, etc.) offer licensing for their content to be played on streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch. We recommend setting up a channel playlist full of licensed/free music and then restricting requested songs to the channel playlist (this can be configured in the song request settings). This prevents viewers from requesting unlicensed songs and causing you to receive a copyright strike/takedown by streaming copyrighted content.
