FAQ​

Q: Why do I need to use quotation marks? A: Quotation marks are required if your title contains spaces. This ensures that the entire title is recognized as a single input.

Q: What happens if there's an error? A: If something goes wrong while setting the title, you'll receive an error message in chat. For example:

something went wrong

If you encounter this error, double-check your syntax and try again. If the problem persists, ensure that your StreamElements bot has the necessary permissions to change your stream title.

Q: Can I use emotes or special characters in my title? A: Yes, you can use emotes and special characters in your stream title, as demonstrated in the "ＥＬＥＣＴＲＩＣ ＢＯＤＹＢＵＩＬＤＥＲ" example. However, be mindful of platform-specific limitations on title length or character types.
