Getting Started

CharlesBot is a free chat bot for MyFreeCams models. It runs games in your room, posts your messages on a schedule, and answers chat commands.

Open Your Control Panel​

You set up and run CharlesBot from the Control Panel, which opens in his PM window in the Model Broadcaster.

The first time, type this into your room chat:

/pm CharlesBot !joinroom

CharlesBot joins your room, and his PM window opens on the Control Panel tab. Next time, just open your PM with CharlesBot. If he isn't in your room, the Control Panel shows one button, Add CharlesBot to my room.

New to CharlesBot? A setup guide at the top of the Control Panel walks you through adding him to your room, scheduling your first message, and running your first game.

Find Your Way Around​

The PM window has two tabs. Control Panel has all of CharlesBot's tools, and PM is your regular chat with him.

The Control Panel groups its tools into sections:

  • Games & activities has timers, raffles, Token Keno, the phrase game, tip polls, tip wars, prize wheels, and rewards and giveaways.
  • Saved messages & auto-posting has your chat commands and the messages CharlesBot posts on a schedule.
  • Checklist & helpers has your show to-do list and the people you trust to help run your room.
  • OBS widgets is where you change how your stream widgets look.
  • Quick tools can roll dice, flip a coin, or look up a word.
  • Settings & connections has Discord, the setup guide, your activity history, and room access.

Anything running right now, like a timer or a game, shows under Running now on the left, below CharlesBot's profile. You can stop it from there.

Can't find something? Type what you want to do into the search box at the top, like "start a raffle".

Chat Commands​

Most of CharlesBot's tools also work as chat commands, if you'd rather type. Use the !help command for a short list, or browse the command pages on this site.

Discord​

You can connect Discord from Settings & connections in the Control Panel. For the Discord bot and its commands, see the Discord Bot Setup and Discord MFC Notification pages.
