The Giveaway widget puts your giveaway on stream. While entries are open, viewers see who joined and how much time is left; when you draw, the winner gets their big moment. The giveaway itself runs through PXStudioBot: the widget only shows what the bot is doing, so it always matches your chat.

Add it

  1. Click Add in the toolbar (or press W) and pick Giveaway under Games & Interactive.

  2. Set a Title and, if you like, a default Prize.

  4. Pick a look with Choose a look and drag it into place.

Run a giveaway

  1. Open Giveaway in the editor toolbar (Y).

  2. Enter the Prize and the Keyword. By default viewers enter with !join. Under More options you set the duration, the number of Winners, a Claim timeout and Who can enter.

  3. Click Start giveaway. The widget shows entries as they come in.

  4. Click Draw when you are ready. The winner appears on stream and confirms with !claim in chat.

Entry trigger can be a Command (!join), a plain Word anywhere in chat, Any of both, or a Twitch Channel Points reward. Luck gives subs, VIPs or mods extra tickets.

Control it live

Select the widget and the giveaway controls appear above it: Start giveaway, Draw winner, Reroll winner and, under More, Pause entries, Resume entries, Close entries, Next winner and Cancel giveaway. The same controls are on your phone Deck and on a Stream Deck, so a mod can run the giveaway for you.
