Someone raids your stream or another creator comes into your chat, and a shoutout gives your viewers a quick way to discover that person's channel. Twitch does have its own built-in /shoutout command. In practice, though, if you've spent much time around Twitch communities, you're probably very familiar with !so. It's commonly used with chat bots and has become one of those commands that many streamers and moderators type almost automatically.

Adding automatic video shoutouts with Twitch Guru’s tools can significantly boost your stream’s interactivity and entertainment value. By following the steps to set up the Shoutout Player and Video & Sound Overlay Maker, you create a seamless way to highlight other streamers or your viewers with engaging clips.
