Display your Livestream's Opinion with Trending Words
There are many ways to show your chat's opinion on a livestream. Common options include classic Twitch votes or simple chat commands your viewers can use. In this guide, we want to showcase a more engaging way to highlight your chat's perspective with just a few clicks.
About the Trending Words Livestream Widget
The Trending Words livestream widget lets you visualize the most used words and emotes in a given timeframe - the perfect way to receive a quick summary of the different present vibes in your chat. This gives you an advantage over classic chat votes, since it also displays messages that wouldn't have been included in your pre-selected answers and summarizes them nicely - even with emotes! The activation of this Twitch widget takes you less than 10 minutes. You can fully customize the experience to match your streaming style, colors, and channel size.
