Getting Started
Mix It Up connects to your YouTube channel so your live streams, chat, memberships, Super Chats, and other channel events can drive your stream automation.
Actions
YouTube actions allow you to perform actions on your YouTube channel, such as updating your channel and running ads.
This action supports the following options:
- Set Title/Description: Sets the current stream’s title and description.
- Run Ad Break: Attempts to run a series of ads with the specified duration.
Latest Video & Latest Short
Mix It Up can pull your most recent upload into any command through the $youtubelatestvideo and $youtubelatestshort Special Identifiers. Both read your channel’s uploads list, so a video posted moments ago is found and the same one comes back every time.
YouTube gives no way to ask whether an upload is a Short, so length is the dividing line. The Shorts Video Length Cap under Settings -> Platforms sets it: uploads at or under that many seconds count as Shorts, and anything longer counts as a regular video. The default is 180 seconds.
Events
YouTube Channel Stream Start
This event will run when your stream goes from offline to online. It is often used to send out Discord and social media notices to alert users that your stream is starting. This event is only triggered once per-application launch. This event provides no additional special identifiers.
YouTube Channel Stream Stop
This event will run when your stream goes from online to offline. It is often used to send out Discord and social media notices to alert users that your stream has ended. This event is only triggered once per-application launch. This event provides no additional special identifiers.
YouTube Channel New Member
This event will run when a user becomes a new paid member of your channel. This event is only triggered once per-user, per-application launch.
The User Special Identifiers reference the user who became the member. This event provides the following additional Special Identifiers:
- $usersubplan = The name of the membership level that the user paid for.
YouTube Channel Member Milestone
This event will run when a user reaches a new milestone for their paid membership of your channel. This event is only triggered once per-user, per-application launch.
The User Special Identifiers reference the user who is the member. This event provides the following additional Special Identifiers:
- $message = The chat message included by the user for their membership milestone.
- $usersubplan = The name of the membership level that the user paid for.
- $usersubmonths = The number of months that the user has been a member of your channel.
YouTube Channel Membership Gifted
This event will run when a user gifts a paid member to another user in your channel. The User Special Identifiers reference the user that GIFTED the membership (Ex: $username), while the Target User Special Identifiers reference the user that RECEIVED the membership (Ex: $targetusername). This event provides the following additional Special Identifiers:
- $usersubplan = The name of the membership level that the user paid for.
YouTube Channel Mass Membership Gifted
This event will run once for each time a user in your channel gifts a set of memberships. Mass memberships are when the user selects a number of memberships to gift and they are randomly gifted out to users in the channel. For example, if a user gifts 5 memberships to your channel, this event will be run once, while the YouTube Channel Membership Gifted will be run 5 times, once for each user. The User Special Identifiers reference the user that GIFTED the membership (Ex: $username).
What determines whether this command or the YouTube Channel Membership Gifted command will run is based on what is set for the Mass Gifted Subscriptions Filter Amount under Settings -> Commands. This option is designed to help reduce the spam of membership gifted commands and provide a better experience for your stream. For example, if this option is enabled and the amount is set to 5, then any time 5 OR LESS memberships are gifted at once, it will ONLY run the regular Membership Gifted event for each subscription. If MORE THAN 5 are gifted, then it will ONLY run the Mass Membership Gifted event once. Note that this will cause the processing of Membership Gifted & Mass Membership Gifted events to be slightly delayed, typically less than 10 seconds.
This event provides the following additional Special Identifiers:
- $subsgiftedamount = The number of memberships gifted.
- $usersubplan = The name of the membership level that the user paid for.
YouTube Channel Super Chat
This event will run when a user performs a super chat in your channel. The User Special Identifiers reference the user that performed the super chat. This event provides the following additional Special Identifiers:

- $amountnumber = The amount spent as part of the super chat in pure decimal format (EX: 1.23)
