The stream widget lets you and your editors set the channel's Twitch category and title.

The Twitch ads widget lets you see key information about the channel's ads and manage them directly from your dashboard.

This can help you time your ads better, preventing ads from running at important moments in your stream and keeping pre-rolls from activating.

If you have auto-ads enabled, you can also manage them from this widget. This allows you to see when the next ad is scheduled and delay it to a better time if needed.

Moobot can alert you about upcoming ads, when ads start and end, remind you to run ads, and warn you when pre-rolls are about to be activated on the stream. You can access the ad-notifications menu directly from the widget.

The song player widget lets you play and control what is playing through the Song Requests feature.

It also allows you to see the currently playing song and the songs played in your session. Simply click the icon at the bottom of the widget to expand the song history list.

By hovering over a song, you can directly save it to your «Secondary Playlist», blacklist it, replay it, and more.

You can also use the player as a standalone music player without the viewer-request functionality. This lets you take advantage of many other features, such as:

• Using hotkeys to control the player.
• Grouping your songs into collections to quickly include or exclude them depending on your mood.
• Letting your Twitch moderators control what's playing.
• Displaying what song is playing directly on your stream.
• Allowing your viewers to use your public music page to see both what is currently playing and what has been recently played.

To use the song player as a standalone player, disable requests and add songs only to your Secondary Playlist, which acts as a personal playlist.

You can also set up Moobot Assistant to control the player with keyboard hotkeys. This way, you don't have to switch out of your game when you want to skip a song or change the player's volume.

You can use the user widget to navigate to a dashboard you're an editor on, switch between UI profiles, open the channel's general settings, or log out of the Moobot dashboard.

Hover over the widget to access its menu.

Adjusting your channel settings​

The user widget can be used to access your channel's general settings.

Moobot integrates with Twitch's chat reply functionality, which helps add context to Moobot's messages in your chat. This functionality can be toggled on or off from the channel settings menu in the «Chat replies» section.

Your Moobot can also notify you in your chat if it has an important message for you. This is useful if you do not use the dashboard on a daily basis, as it can alert you to any important changes or issues with your Moobot.

In the past, this has been used to notify streamers about crucial changes to Twitch's API, which could have caused Moobot to stop working if the streamer did not take action.

Announcements are sent out no more than once per week. They are limited to downtime alerts, major new feature announcements, and critical updates that could affect your Moobot's functionality.

You can toggle off this functionality from the channel settings menu in the «Chat announcements» section.

The dashboard widget displays which dashboard you're on (as an editor), and who you are logged in as.

The dashboard will only show the widget when you are on a dashboard other than your own, unless you've activated the «Always show» checkbox in the widget's menu.

You can also display the full name of the dashboard by activating the «Display name» checkbox in the widget's menu.

The updates widget displays up-to-date information about your Moobot and Twitch and refreshes automatically while you're on the dashboard.

You can make the widget take up less screen space by compacting it. Just hover over it, open the menu with the gear icon, and then activate the «Compact» checkbox.

The social widget has all the Moobot social links.

The user poll widget lets you give direct feedback to the devs, which helps tremendously in making Moobot better for you.

The dashboard will automatically hide the widget once you've given your feedback.

Moobot can automatically switch between profiles for you when you resize your dashboard's window.

For example, this allows you to have a more compact view that takes up less screen space when you resize your dashboard to a smaller window. Once you maximize the window, your dashboard is automatically restored to its full layout.

By automatically switching between profiles, you can optimize the view of your dashboard to only show what you need when you need it.

Follow these steps to set up automatic profile switching:

1. Open the «Interface» menu from the main menu, then open the «UI auto-switching» menu.
2. Select the profiles to switch to for the various screen sizes in the «Auto-switches» table.
3. Click the «Save» button at the bottom of the menu to save your changes.
