!quote

The !quote command interacts with the channel’s quote system. Viewers can use it to display a random saved quote. Moderators and the broadcaster can use subcommands to add new quotes or remove existing ones.

Usage

To display a random quote:

!quote

To display a specific quote by ID:

!quote <quote_id>

The ID can also be prefixed with #, e.g. !quote #42.

To add a quote (Moderator+):

!quote add <quote_text>

To remove a quote (Moderator+):

!quote remove <quote_id>

Permissions

Adding (add) and removing (remove) quotes requires Moderator permission level or higher. Viewing quotes is available to everyone.

Note

Quotes cannot be edited from chat — only added and removed. To edit the text of an existing quote, use the StreamElements Dashboard.

Examples

Example chat

ViewerName:!quote
