Subscriber Reactions

Overview

Subscribe reactions represent a crucial engagement tool for recognising and celebrating viewer commitment to your channel. This guide provides comprehensive instructions for configuring your subscribe reaction to create meaningful interactions with new subscribers.

Accessing Subscribe Configuration

Within the reactions configuration panel, select the subscribe event option. Like the follow reaction system, the platform supports a single subscribe reaction configuration to ensure system stability and consistent performance.

Available Reaction Types

When configuring a subscribe reaction, you can choose from several response types:

• Text/TTS - Text or voice responses
• Shoutout - Automated viewer recognition
• Audio - Sound effects and music
• Image - Visual elements and graphics
• Video - Video clip playback
• Switch Personality - AI personality changes
• Multimedia - Combined media responses
• Random List Items - Randomised content selection
• OBS Control - Stream scene management

Select any reaction type above to view its detailed configuration guide.

Configuration Parameters

For the purposes of this guide, we will be using the Text/TTS reaction type.

Description Field

The optional description field serves as a valuable organisational tool. Consider crafting a description that clearly identifies the reaction’s purpose and behaviour. For instance:

Subscriber welcome message with tier recognition and TTS

This description proves particularly useful when reviewing your reaction configurations or troubleshooting system behaviour.

AI Response System

The subscribe reaction offers two distinct approaches to subscriber recognition:

Manual Response Configuration

When operating without AI assistance, you’ll define a static response message. This approach ensures consistency in your subscriber recognition and allows precise control over messaging. For example:

Thank you for subscribing at {tier}, {user}! Your support helps me create better content!

AI-Powered Response System

Enabling AI responses introduces dynamic, contextual subscriber recognition. When activated, you’ll provide guidance for the AI to craft appropriate responses. Each AI-generated response utilises one AI token from your allocation. Consider instructions such as:

Create an enthusiastic thank you message that acknowledges the subscriber's tier level. Incorporate streaming terminology and express genuine appreciation for their support.

Response Configuration

The system adapts its interface based on your AI selection:

Static Response Field

With AI disabled, enter your predetermined response text. Utilise merge fields to personalise the message:

Welcome to our subscriber community, {user}! Thank you for your {tier} support!

AI Instruction Field

When AI is enabled, provide clear guidance for response generation. Consider including:

• Desired tone and style
• Important elements to include
• Any specific phrases or terminology preferences
• Guidelines for length and formality

Audio-Visual Integration

Text-to-Speech Configuration

The TTS system, when properly configured, adds an auditory dimension to your subscriber recognition. This feature proves particularly effective for acknowledging subscribers during active gameplay or focused activities.

Text Response Management

Configure your text output through three possible arrangements:

1. TTS-Only Mode Disable text responses for a purely auditory acknowledgment

2. Text-Only Mode Maintain visual recognition without audio intervention

3. Combined Approach Enable both systems for comprehensive subscriber recognition

Merge Field Implementation

Subscribe reactions support advanced personalisation through multiple merge fields:

User Field

The {user} field incorporates the subscriber’s username:

Welcome aboard, {user}! Your support means the world to me!

Tier Field

The {tier} field automatically displays the subscription level:

Thank you for your {tier} subscription, {user}! You've just unlocked a whole new level of community engagement!

Enable/Disable Gift Subscriptions

To enable or disable gift subscriptions to your reaction, navigate to the edit icon on the reaction configuration and select the “Ignore Gift Subs” toggle.

Technical Considerations

Resource Management

Monitor system resources, particularly when implementing:

• AI-powered responses (token usage)

• Combined TTS and text outputs

• Complex merge field combinations

Timing Optimisation

Consider the temporal relationship between:

• Visual acknowledgment appearance
• TTS message delivery
• Any accompanying channel events or alerts

Best Practices

Content Development

• Craft messages that acknowledge the subscriber’s commitment
• Incorporate tier-specific recognition where appropriate
• Maintain professional enthusiasm while expressing genuine appreciation

Testing Protocol

Implement a thorough testing regime:

1. Verify merge field functionality
2. Confirm TTS pronunciation accuracy
3. Assess timing and presentation
4. Review AI response appropriateness (if enabled)

Finalising Configuration

After establishing your preferred settings:

1. Review all configuration parameters
2. Test the reaction in a controlled environment
3. Save your configuration

Remember that an effectively configured subscribe reaction strengthens viewer engagement and demonstrates professional appreciation for community support.
