Raids, ads and markers

Raid a channel when you finish, run or snooze ads, and mark moments to find later.

While you're live on Twitch, the bottom bar has Mark, Raid and the next ad.

• Raid: Twitch › Raid a channel (or the bar): the channels you follow that are live now, or search. Press Raid and Twitch counts down (about 90 seconds; your viewers see it) before everyone goes over. Cancel stops it. Or put Raid a channel on a key, or on a mods' chat command with {message} as the channel.
• Ads: the bar counts down to Twitch's next ad break; a minute before, flint warns you with Snooze (5 minutes, a few times a stream). Click it to run one now (30 seconds to 3 minutes): running your own resets the timer, and gives new viewers time without pre-rolls.
• During an ad break: Controls › Twitch event › Ad break starts and Ad break is over: switch to your Be right back scene and back, show a "back soon" text, mute your mic…
• Markers: Mark (or a key: Controls › Stream marker) notes this moment, to find in Twitch's video producer when you make highlights.
