Radio & music

Updated Jun 4, 2026 1 min read

If your chat plays music, the bot can announce the current song and new songs as they start. (This is the in-chat radio/song feature — separate from any external radio-hosting product.)

Point the bot at your stream

!customradio <stream url>

This tells the bot which stream to read song info from. Related commands include !currentsong (show what's playing), !radioinfo and !radiohealth.

New-song announcements

In Edit Bot Settings → Messages you can have the bot announce a new song in a chat message, in the scroller, or both. This requires a stream set with !customradio above.

Song requests & DJ

The bot has a built-in request system. Listeners use !request <song> to ask for a track, and the DJ can manage the queue and announce who's live:

  • !request <song> — request a song.
  • !currentrequests — show the pending request queue.
  • !onair — announce the current DJ / that you're live.
  • !dj / !radiodj — DJ helper commands.

For the complete, always-up-to-date list of radio commands and the ranks they need, check your bot's command list and search "radio".
