Rewarding loyal members of your streaming community with unique sound effects they can play on stream using StreamElements Loyalty points is a great way to enhance viewer engagement. Follow these steps to set up sound commands for your viewers.

 

Setting Up Sound Commands

  1. Navigate to Your Loyalty Stream Store

    • Go to the Loyalty Stream Store page via the link or by selecting 'Loyalty' --> 'Stream store' on your Creator Dashboard.

Select Item Type: Sound Effects

  • Choose 'Sound effects' as the item type.


  • Configure Item Details

    • Set the item name, description, and cooldown settings.
    • Choose the cost in Loyalty points and press 'Next'.

  • Upload Sound File

    • Upload your sound file (preferably MP3) and set the desired volume.

  • Enable Redemption Options

    • Select the redemption methods and specify if the item is for subscribers only.

  • Name the Command

    • Choose a command name for the sound item.

How to Add Sound Commands to Your Stream

Follow these steps to add sound commands to your stream:

Step 1: Navigate to Your Custom Commands Page

  • Go to your custom commands page here.

Step 2: Create a Custom Command

  1. Create a command with a name of your choosing.
  2. Set the response to be ${redeem item_name_here}.
  • The item name and item command from the item's first and second settings pages do not need to be identical, but using the same name helps you remember it.
  • We recommend setting the command name to match the item name.

    Example:

    • Item Name (Item Information Page): ez4ence
    • Item Command (Item Content Page): ez4ence
    • Custom Command Name: !ez4ence
    • Custom Command Response: ${redeem ez4ence}

    When a subscriber types !ez4ence in chat, the MP3 file will play.

Step 3: Create an Overlay with the Store Redemption Widget

  1. Navigate to My Overlays.
  2. Create a new overlay or edit an existing one that you want to add the widget to.

Step 4: Add the Store Redemption Widget

  1. In the overlay editor, add the Store Redemption widget.

Step 5: Customize the Store Redemption Widget

  • Remove the default video, sound, and text of the alert since you only want the item sound to play upon redemption.
  • The 'Alert duration' setting is not important for sound commands.



Example:

  • To remove defaults, follow these steps:


Final Steps

  • Test the Command

    • Test the command in chat with OBS or the Overlay Editor open to hear the sound.
    • Ensure the overlay is added as a browser source in OBS if it's new. If it's an existing overlay, just save the changes.

  • Enable/Disable Command

    • Enable the command for both online and offline testing initially. Once confirmed, set it to work only when you're live.
    • Optionally, hide the command from the public Stream Store.
