Streamer Discord Server Template
A streamer Discord should send people to your stream and make regulars feel known. This template covers go-live alerts, role tiers for supporters, giveaways, clips and a moderation setup that does not need you at the keyboard. Every module is free in Noxyr.
Who it is for
Use this if you stream on Twitch, Kick or YouTube and want a home for your viewers. It also fits video creators. For more on the creator side, see the streamers page and content creators.

Role tiers
Match your supporter tiers to Discord roles, but give none of them extra permissions beyond chat perks.
| Role | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Streamer | Full control. |
| Moderator | Timeout and delete in Discord. Mirror your chat mods. |
| Supporter | Cosmetic role and access to a supporters-only chat if you want one. |
| Regular | Given by hand or a reward to active members. |
| Viewer | Default role from verify. Can chat and read. |
| Live ping | Opt-in role mentioned in go-live alerts. |
Set it up with Noxyr
- Run
/stream addwith your platform and name, pick #go-live and a ping role. Test with/stream test. Official Twitch, Kick and YouTube APIs only. See stream alerts. - Post the live ping role as a button with
/reactionrole create. - Start giveaways for viewers with
/giveaway, using role or message requirements. See giveaways. - Run polls with
/poll createfor next game or schedule. - Turn on the verify button and anti-spam. See anti-spam.
- Add a starboard so the best clips surface on their own.
Tips for the first week
- Test your alert with a sample before going live, so you do not find a typo while on stream.
- Do not mention every viewer in each alert. A single opt-in role is enough.
- Post your stream schedule in the welcome channel and keep it current.
- Give mods the Timeout Members permission, not Ban, until you trust them.
Make the stream and server feed each other
Put your Discord invite in your stream panels and chat commands, and put your stream link in #welcome. Mention the server on stream when something happens there, such as a poll result or a giveaway winner. People join when they see a reason, not a banner.
Moderating while you are live
You cannot watch Discord and a stream at once. Turn on anti-spam and link filters, keep verification on and let your mods use /warn add so there is a record. See the warning system for steps that time out or kick at set counts.
Common mistakes
- Pinging everyone for every stream. Use an opt-in role.
- Giving supporters moderator permissions as a thank you.
- Leaving old giveaways open. End them or let them expire.
When your community grows
Once chat is busy, add a few topic channels for the things viewers keep raising, such as a game you play often or a fan art corner. Retire a channel when it has been quiet for a month. Review your roles every few months and remove perks nobody uses.
Extra ideas
Run a weekly viewer game night with /gamenight plan, let regulars suggest games in #suggestions, and keep an art or clip showcase for fans. These small habits make the server a place people open even when you are offline.
Keep going
Look at polls and the starboard. A custom branded bot is covered in the streamer custom bot article.
Common questions
Which platforms can Noxyr alert for?
Twitch and Kick for going live, and YouTube for uploads, using their official APIs. TikTok has no official way to detect live status, so it is not supported.
Should my Discord mods match my chat mods?
Often yes, but give them Discord roles with only the permissions they need.
Can I run giveaways for viewers?
Yes. You can require roles or a message count, set several winners and reroll.
