FAQ

How is this different from Streamer.bot?

Stream Kit uses the same mental model: actions, triggers, variables, and queues. Plugin and handler IDs are stable strings (for example core:core:input:hotkey) so you can reference them in overlays and external tools.

Why is my action not running?

Check:

1. The action is enabled.
2. At least one trigger is enabled and conditions match.
3. Required plugins are configured (Twitch connected, OBS WebSocket reachable).
4. The action is not stuck in a paused queue with a full max length.
5. Review Logs for errors from a handler in the chain.

What is a trigger ID vs handler ID?

Definition IDs identify the type of trigger or handler in the picker and in stored actions:

• Trigger example: twitch:twitch:chat:chat-message
• Handler example: overlay:overlay:send-to-overlay

Each placed trigger/handler block in an action also has its own instance UUID internally.

Can I run multiple actions on one event?

Yes. Add the same trigger type to multiple actions, or add multiple triggers to one action.

Do queues slow down triggers?

Conditions are evaluated immediately. Only the handler chain execution is queued. Use No queue when parallel runs are safe.

Where is the full list of triggers and handlers?
