For streamers
Guides for streamers on setting up a NextQuest board, handling viewer suggestions, controlling your audience and using the chat bot.
NextQuest gives you a public backlog board. Viewers vote on the games on it and suggest new ones. You decide what goes on the board and who can take part. These pages cover everything you do from the dashboard.
Note
NextQuest is in closed beta. Only invited streamers can open the dashboard. Viewers can already sign in, vote and suggest. See Closed beta and pricing.
If you are new, read the pages in this order:
- Sign in with Twitch covers signing in with Twitch and the starter board you get.
- Boards, lanes and sections explains how to shape your board.
- Your public board shows what viewers see and how to share it.
- Suggestions inbox explains how to handle what viewers suggest.
