Nightbot Setup Guide (YouTube & Twitch)

Nightbot uses the standard $(urlfetch) method to trigger LiveSnip instantly.

  1. Log in to Nightbot Dashboard: Go to nightbot.tv and connect your streaming account.
  2. Navigate to Custom Commands: On the left sidebar menu, click Commands > Custom.
  3. Click "Add Command":
    • Command: !clip
    • Message: Paste the generated command from the tool above.
    • Userlevel: Everyone (or Regular / Moderator if you want restricted access).
    • Cooldown: 5 seconds (prevents accidental double trigger).
  4. Save & Verify: Click Submit. Start your livestream and test by typing !clip in your chat!
Golden Rules for Flawless Clipping
1. Stream Must Be Public:Platform APIs cannot fetch metadata for Unlisted, Private, or Members-Only broadcasts.
2. Keep 5-Second Cooldown:Prevents chat spam when multiple viewers react to the same moment at once.
3. Bot Mod Privileges:Ensure your chatbot is a Moderator in your stream chat so it won't be blocked by auto-mod.
4. Discord Integration:Link a Discord Webhook to automatically notify your community the second a clip is captured!
⚠️

Important Notes:

  • •LiveSnip is completely free forever. To ensure fair usage and optimal performance, clips are available for up to 60 days before being automatically removed. Be sure to highlight and save your favorite moments before they're gone. You can also check how long your clip will remain via Query Clips using clip id.
  • •Clip/Delete Clip commands won't work on Private/Unlisted/Members Only streams. LiveSnip commands will only work on public streams.
  • •When clipping highlights from live Twitch or Kick streams, clips will not be immediately available for preview or viewing. You may need to wait up to 5 minutes (or less) for our system to detect the VOD and display clip data. Please refresh the page periodically as the clip will auto-detect once the VOD becomes available.
  • •If the VOD is disabled or deleted by the streamer, we have no options to display the clip preview. YouTube clips are available immediately as they use a different clipping mechanism.
  • •

    On a new livestream, your very first clip request might show: "Error Connecting To Remote Server." This temporary error occurs if the streaming platform is slow to provide initial setup data.

    Fortunately, the clip is usually created in the background, and Discord notifications will still send.

    Key Takeaways:

    • ✅First clip only: This only affects the initial clip of a new stream.
    • ✅Usually successful: The clip still saves and Discord alerts continue to work.
    • ✅Fast recovery: All later clip commands during the stream will process instantly.
    • ✅No action needed: The system resolves this automatically.

    If the clip doesn't appear after a few minutes, please contact support with the stream URL and the time of your request.
