Kane99 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I heard a while back that there were channels where the gamers took control of the action via voting choices. Like Twitch plays Pokemon or something like that. I never really looked deep into it, so I never knew how they did it. I'm guessing they had some kind of voting tool on Twitch where when a choice comes up, chat can type in chat for a certain choice, button press, direction, etc. Are there any Twitch channels that still do this?

Shortie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I haven't seen any Twitch channels that have done this recently but I have seen it in the past so I know exactly what you are talking about. Twitch has extensions that can be used with your stream and a lot of game developers build the extensions for their games which allows viewers to be able to interact with the game in some way so it is likely it was an extension that was used for this.

Empire Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 There are many cool options that can get the chat going an dgetting into things, Most are from the third-party more then anything. We all haerd of marbles on stream right? something that chat can play and see there ball to get to the finnshing line. Just not long ago there is a add-on for MSFS2020 that allows chat to type in a command that takes control of my aircraft as I fly it 😛 like !engine and the engines goes off or !close and that close the sim down XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of want to play WWE 2K22 or maybe one of the older games like Here comes the pain on stream, and I want to see if chat can control the game itself. I think it'd be cool. Or I may play that GM mode in the new game and let chat take control of that. I think that'd be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch does not do anything like that. Even that I can do that for MSFS, with Vatsim or live traffic with realism on. I can't have that option on.

killamch89 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I've seen this YouTube during certain streams but I've only ever seen it for things like GTA V RP. Some of the outcomes are so freaking hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew these functions existed on certain Twitch channels. That definitely would drive a lot more engagement with the viewers of such streams and would see them coming back.

Just the other day a friend of mine showed me a twitch stream where you can literally play one of the new Pokemon games by entering commands in the chat. I wish I took down the twitch name, because I think the stream is still up and anyone can jump in to play. This could be a fun way to play games.

I agree - I haven't encountered any streams like that as yet but I'd love to set up one in the future. I think I'm going to get into GTA V RP streams - haven't decided on the server as yet though but I wouldn't mind have some fun streams with my viewers.
