[Feature] Shoutout Chat Command
Hi, all! We're thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a new native chat command that allows you to give another streamer a shoutout in chat, so that you can introduce them to your viewers and help them grow! Here's an overview of the key features all broadcasters and mods can expect to see in September:
Use "/shoutout [channel]" to support another streamer by displaying a follow button for their channel in chat, so your viewers can support by following them without leaving your live stream.
If the channel getting the shoutout has a stream schedule set up, it will also show their next scheduled stream with a button that viewers can use to set a reminder to watch.
The streamer you shoutout will receive a notification in their activity feed referencing your channel and the number of viewers you shouted them out to.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions on how we can keep helping you support the growth of more streamers on Twitch. As always, thank you for your ongoing support and feedback!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to pop in and let you all know we're rolling out Shoutouts starting today! You can learn more here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/shoutouts
Thank you all for your valued feedback, and please continue to leave your suggestions for Shoutouts below!

New Shoutout Function (Announced 8/25/2022 - Patch Notes Ep.12 ) - Make it so you can click the user's name in chat you want to shoutout and click a button on their profile, rather than only shout out via typing.
I love the new shoutout pop up design over chat, but really struggle to type during stream and would love to be able to click the users name and then click shoutout on the little profile box that normally pops up when you click their name.
Here is how it looks right now as previeed, it's really cool: https://clips.twitch.tv/BumblingScaryQueleaGOWSkull-RqatxUYDYH4WvM_E
Here is what I would like the clickable shoutout button to look:

To be able top have a list you can add to (an edit) to allow an auto shoutout when a (listed) person enters chat (so you dont have to manually do this). With this can also have a second option to be able to play a short clip from their stream

So I had an idea to help make doing shout outs easier. A shout out button. Simply put in mod mode we just click on the raiders username, click the shout out button and done.

Add an option to complete a shout out in the mod menu when a moderator clicks on a user name would cut down on commands needed by content creator etc.
