Key Insights

• Quotes can be created and managed via Cloudbot in Streamlabs OBS.
• You need to enable Cloudbot and enter an initial chat command in the Twitch chat.
• There are specific commands for adding, editing, and removing quotes.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Enable Cloudbot

To start creating quotes, you must first enable the Cloudbot. Open Streamlabs OBS and click on the Cloudbot icon in the lower left corner.

2. Configure Cloudbot

After clicking the Cloudbot icon, a webpage will open that allows you to configure the settings for Cloudbot. Ensure that Cloudbot is enabled and type "Streamlabs" in the Twitch chat first to establish the connection.

3. Customize Quote Format

Before adding a quote, I recommend setting the date format. You can do this in the settings, where you can determine how the date is displayed in the chat. Options like DD for the day, MM for the month, and YYYY for the year are available. After making the adjustments, click on "Save Settings."

4. Add Quote

You are now ready to create your first quote. Click on "Add Quote" and enter your quote. For example, you could type "I stream Minecraft." Below, you have the option to specify the name of the game or the person from whom the quote originates. If the quote is added by a moderator, their name can also be entered. After entering, click "Save."

5. Manage Quotes

All added quotes are visible in a list. You can edit or delete them at any time. If you want to adjust a quote during the stream, simply click the edit icon or the trash icon next to the respective quote.

6. Use Quote Commands

To allow viewers to retrieve quotes in the chat, you need to enable the corresponding commands. Click on "Commands," then on "Default" to see the available commands. A common command is "!quote," which displays a random quote in the chat. Make sure this command is enabled.

7. Make Command Adjustments

You can also make adjustments to the command settings, such as changing the command name or adjusting the display options (e.g., to output the command in the chat). Additionally, you can set permissions for who can trigger quotes.

8. Edit and Delete Quotes

To edit a quote, use the command "!quote edit" followed by the quote number. To remove a quote, use the command "!quote remove" followed by the respective quote number. These commands allow you flexible management of the quotes.

9. Confirm Changes

After making any changes to a quote or the commands, you need to confirm the changes to ensure they take effect. Simply go to "Confirm" after making all adjustments.

10. Use Quotes in Chat

The final step is to practically apply the quotes in the chat. To display a quote, simply type "!quote" in the chat. The bot will then output a random quote that is registered in the list.
