Set up your stream with InstiBot
Connect your streaming account, set up a chatbot, and add your first OBS overlay with this step-by-step InstiBot guide.
Connect your channel
- Open the sign-in page and choose an available streaming platform. Review the permissions before connecting.
- Open Platforms in your dashboard and connect any additional accounts you stream on. Use the same InstiBot account to keep the tools together.
- On Kick, make the bot a moderator by entering /mod InstiBot in your channel chat. If you use a custom bot identity, grant that account the required permissions instead.
Create a first command
In Chat Bot → Commands, add a command named socials and enter your social links as the response. Enable it, save, and type !socials in your channel chat. Start with a cooldown so repeated requests do not flood chat.
Add a widget to OBS
- Open Widgets and choose Chat or another widget.
- Adjust the settings and copy the widget URL.
- In OBS Studio, add a Browser source, paste the URL, and set the dimensions to match your layout. Keep the URL private.
Before your first stream
- Test an alert and confirm its image and audio appear in OBS.
- Check commands from a viewer account so permission and cooldown rules are exercised.
- Review the platform support guide: TikTok is read-only, and some tools are Kick-only.
- Check the current pricing page for limits before planning a large setup.
