Commands

Konflux understands 54 slash commands. The tables below list all of them; there are no others. Anything else that starts with a slash is refused and never sent to chat.

Type / at the start of the message box. A list of every command appears, each with its arguments and a short note. Keep typing to narrow it, move with ↑ and ↓, and press Tab or Enter to take one. /help opens the same list.

  • With only / typed, nothing is highlighted, so Enter cannot pick a command by accident. Once you have typed a command in full, Enter runs exactly what you typed.
  • A command is never sent to chat. If Konflux does not know it, you see for example “There is no /tiemout — nothing was sent.” If something is missing, you see what, for example “/timeout needs who to time out.” In both cases your text stays in the box so you can fix it.
  • Spaces before the slash make no difference.
  • To send a message that starts with a slash, begin it with two: //shrug sends “/shrug”.
  • A name works with or without @, and capitals do not matter.
  • Konflux finds the person in that channel’s own history. If they have never spoken there while Konflux was listening, the platform is not asked, and you see why: “someviewer has not spoken in examplestreamer while Konflux was listening, so there is no account to act on”.
  • /shoutout and /raid are the exceptions: they go to whoever holds that channel name on Twitch today.
  • /ban, /timeout, /purge, /warn, /unban, /untimeout, /mod, /unmod, /vip and /unvip act on one channel of the split: the first where the platform has that action and your role allows it. So /warn in a split that shows YouTube first goes to its Twitch channel. In a split with several platforms, Konflux says where it ran, for example “Ran on Twitch — a name means different people on different platforms.” To act on someone on another platform, use the hover keys or their card.
  • /user opens the card on the split’s first channel.
  • /nuke acts on each matching message in its own channel, on any platform.
  • Every other command that talks to a platform is Twitch’s, and acts on the split’s first Twitch channel. With no Twitch channel in the split, Konflux says so and sends nothing.

Konflux runs a command only where your role allows it, and otherwise says why and sends nothing, for example “That takes a moderator in examplestreamer — nothing was sent.” or “YouTube offers no way to do that — nothing was sent.” When it does send, the platform has the final say, and its refusal arrives in its own words. See Who sees moderation tools.

  • /ban, /timeout, /purge, /warn, /unban, /untimeout, /mod, /unmod, /vip and /unvip answer on the action strip above the message box, where a timeout or ban can also be undone.
  • Everything else answers on a line above the message box, for example “Twitch: slow mode on.” or “Not done:” and the reason. Close that line with its Dismiss button.

Write a length as a number and a letter: 30s, 10m, 1h, 2d or 1w. A plain number means seconds, except in /followers, where it means minutes. /commercial takes a plain number of seconds only.

Command Arguments Platforms Who may use it What it does Notes
/ban <who> [reason] Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator Bans them. No confirmation. YouTube takes no reason; Kick takes at most 100 characters.
/timeout <who> [length] [reason] Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator Times them out. 10 minutes if no length is given. 1 second to 14 days. Kick counts whole minutes, rounded up, up to 7 days.
/purge <who> Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator A one-second timeout, which clears their recent messages. Takes no length or reason. On Kick it lasts a minute.
/warn <who> <reason> Twitch Moderator A formal warning. Twitch shows them the reason and holds their next message until they acknowledge it. The reason is required.
/unban <who> Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator Lifts a ban or a timeout. On YouTube, only a ban or timeout Konflux made this session; it undoes that one.
/untimeout <who> Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator The same as /unban. A timeout is a ban with a clock, so one call lifts both.
/mod <who> Twitch Broadcaster Makes them a moderator. Needs the broadcaster’s own login.
/unmod <who> Twitch Broadcaster Removes them as a moderator. Needs the broadcaster’s own login.
/vip <who> Twitch Broadcaster Makes them a VIP. Needs the broadcaster’s own login. Twitch refuses when the channel has no free VIP slot.
/unvip <who> Twitch Broadcaster Removes them as a VIP. Needs the broadcaster’s own login.
/monitor <who> Twitch Moderator Twitch marks their messages for moderators. Answers Twitch’s suspicious-user flag in Twitch’s own record.
/unmonitor <who> Twitch Moderator Clears their suspicious-user status. The same call as /unrestrict.
/restrict <who> Twitch Moderator Only moderators see their messages.
/unrestrict <who> Twitch Moderator Clears their suspicious-user status. The same call as /unmonitor.
/block <who> Twitch Anyone signed in Blocks them on your own account, everywhere on Twitch. Not a channel action.
/unblock <who> Twitch Anyone signed in Unblocks them on your own account.
/user <who> Twitch, YouTube, Kick Anyone Opens their card. Opens on the split’s first channel.

All of these are Twitch’s. YouTube and Kick offer apps no way to do them.

/vips Twitch Anyone Lists the channel’s VIPs. As /mods.

These are the broadcaster’s commands. They work on Twitch only so far. See Streamer tools.

Command Arguments Platforms Who may use it What it does Notes
/title <new title> Twitch Broadcaster Sets your stream’s title. At most 140 characters.
/category <exact name> Twitch Broadcaster Sets your stream’s category. The name must match a category exactly, ignoring capitals. If it does not, Konflux suggests up to four.
/marker [note] Twitch Broadcaster Marks this moment in your live stream’s recording. Live streams only. A note is at most 140 characters.
/commercial [seconds] Twitch Broadcaster Runs an ad break now. Asks first: Run the ad or Cancel. 1 to 180 seconds; 30 if none is given.
/raid <channel> Twitch Broadcaster Sends your viewers to another channel. Twitch counts down 90 seconds first.
/unraid Twitch Broadcaster Calls off a raid that is still counting down.
/clip Twitch Anyone signed in Clips the last moments of the stream. The answer carries a link to title and publish the clip, valid for 24 hours. Only where the channel allows clips.

These change what one split shows you. Nobody else sees any difference, and the chat itself is unchanged. Your own messages, held messages and notices always show.

Command Arguments Platforms Who may use it What it does Notes
/nuke <text> <window> [delete|ban|timeout [length]] Twitch, YouTube, Kick Moderator Acts on every message on screen in this split that contains the text and was sent within the window. Always shows a count first, with Do it and Cancel. The text is one word. The window is 1 second to 60 minutes. Deletes by default; a timeout is 10 minutes unless you give a length. See /nuke.
/undo Twitch, YouTube, Kick Anyone who acted Reverts the action the strip shows, like Ctrl+Z. Says “Nothing to undo here.” when there is nothing.
Command Arguments Platforms Who may use it What it does Notes
/help — Anyone Opens the list of commands. The same list a / on its own shows.

These are planned and not built. Typing them today gives “There is no … — nothing was sent.”:

  • /me, /color and /w (whispers).
  • /poll and /prediction.
  • /goal.

/leadmod and /unleadmod will not come: Twitch offers apps no way to give or take the lead moderator role. Typing them says so, and sends nothing.
