**How to Create a New Rank on Your Stream: A Step-by-Step Guide**

When it comes to creating a new rank on your stream, you need to follow a few simple steps. In this guide, we'll show you how to set up a new rank and explain what each step entails.

First things first, let's talk about the name of the rank. Since we already have a "Nerd" rank, let's create a new one called "Super Nerd". This will be our new rank that we'll be using.

**Step 1: Choose the Requirement**

To determine the requirement for our new rank, we need to decide on the criteria that viewers must meet. In this case, we've chosen to assign ranks based on the amount of hours or points viewers have earned by watching your stream. We've selected "hours" as the requirement.

**Step 2: Set up the Super Nerd Rank**

Let's add our new rank, "Super Nerd", to the list. We'll set the requirement for this rank to 30 hours watched on our stream. This means that viewers must watch at least 30 hours of our stream to earn this rank.

**Step 3: Make the Rank Available to All Viewers**

We want our new rank, "Super Nerd", to be available to all viewers, regardless of whether they're subscribers or moderators. We'll make sure to select this option when we set up the rank.

**Step 4: Add a New Command**

To allow viewers to check their rank without using currency, we need to add a new command to our console. Let's call it "exclamation mark rank". When viewers type this command in chat, they'll see their current rank displayed.

Here's how we set up the new command:

* We added a new command called "exclamation mark rank"

* We made the cost of this command zero, so viewers won't have to pay currency to use it

* We set the response for this command to display only the username and rank of the viewer who triggered it

**Step 5: Test the New Command**

Let's test our new command by typing "exclamation mark rank" in chat. When we do, we should see our current rank displayed.

As you can see, when we went back to the ranks settings earlier this year I gave myself 100 points but I have zero hours watched on the stream so since my hours or zero I have no rank because when we go to the ranks right here you see to get a rank you need to have at least 10 hours watched on the stream.

We can use currency for many things on our stream, such as making commands more exclusive or adding new features. We want to make sure that our viewers have something to look forward to and will be incentivized to engage with our content.

**What Do You Think?**

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enif you want more engagement in your stream chat than you are lucky because we are going to set up currency and that is going to do just that what's up everyone yella here with a video nerd if this is your first time here I you want to grow your influence with gaming then make sure to click the subscribe button because this channel is perfect for you adding currency to your stream is a win-win situation for you and for your viewers your viewers are getting more power because they can spend currency to request songs videos songs do other things in your stream that you decide people can spend currency on and it gives you a more interactive stream because people are interacting indeed chat with the commands and stuff currency also gives you more loyal viewers because to spend currency they first need to earn it and to earn it they need to engage in your stream by following subscribing or donating and they also need to watch more of your stream because they earn currency based on the amount of hours watched so without further ado let's start setting it up and we will do it by using a program called stream lapse chat bot if you don't know this program or you don't have it yet then go watch that tutorial of me because there I explain you how to set it up how to link everything and make it work and then from then return to this tutorial to setup the currency when you have setup everything correctly and you start the program you got a message that everything is successfully connected so right now on your left go to the currency tab right here now this is the main screen of the currency function and here you will start seeing a list with all your viewers and the amount of currency they have so the points and the amount of hours they have watched your stream now of course right now you will not see anything yet right here but when we set everything up and then you go online and you stream every viewer will start earning currency and they will start showing up right here in this list let's start setting everything up on your top right hand corner click on the gear icon to go to these settings so the first thing you need to setup when adding currency to your stream is of course the name of the currency as a default it's named points so let's call it nerd points okay so my viewers can earn nerd points nerd points then if you want to use another command than exclamation mark points you can change it right here but I wouldn't recommend this because people know this command and they will use it in your chat to see how many points I have so let's just leave this at exclamation mark points and then the response there are a few parameters right here so when someone wants to check how many currency they have they use exclamation mark points and the responses their name so the name of the person triggering the command then the name of their rank which we will setup later than the amount of hours they have watched your stream then the name of your currency so nerd' points and then the amount of points they have I will quickly show you how this response will look so when we go back as you can see right here I did add myself manually and I gave myself 100 points so now let's go to the console and type exclamation mark points okay and then the responses my name the video nerd youtube then nerd which is the rank I get when I get 100 points I will show that later than the amount of hours watched it's zero because I did all my self manually right now and then the amount of nerd points I have which is 100 okay now let's go back to the currency back to the settings and then the next thing we need to setup is assign ranks based on X amount of points or hours so when using points to assign ranks it's possible that someone in your stream has a very high rank without being very active in your stream without being someone who watches you a lot because he was just lucky with placing butts so now he has a high amount of points so he has a high rank so if you only want to assign ranks based on how loyal a viewer is I would suggest assigning them based on the amount of hours in your stream instead of points so let's choose ours right here and then if you want someone to automatically become a regular after a certain amount of hours or earned you can do it right here and then the next thing is a very important thing when we disable this we can see that there are a lot of things to set up the amount of points someone gets for each hour of watching your stream it's different when they are a sub when they are a follower when they are just a normal viewer etc there are a lot of things that people can earn points with so when you're first starting out with using currency I advise you to enable this so most of the payouts are done automatically when we go back for a second and then right here when you stream you will see viewers starting to appear and they will start earning points and then you will get a clear view on how many points viewers or earning etc because it's hard at first to know how many points you should charge for for example a song request or entering a giveaway etc so let's go back to these settings because when you enable it and you want everything to go automatically there are still a few things you can set up you can still set up how many points people should earn when reading you hosting you following you subbing to you or giving you a mass sub gift and then let's go to the next thing which is ranks so let's go back to the main screen and then here click on this crown to go to the ranks and you see there is already one rank which I set up but let's create a new one so I can explain you everything the first thing is the name since we already have nerd let's make a rank that is super nerd okay and then the second thing is the requirement so when we quickly go back to these settings here we had to choose assign ranks based on amount of hours or points so right here we did select hours so now let's go back to the ranks okay let's add a TD rank so right here this requirement will be the amount of hours someone must have watched your stream before earning the rank of super nerd of course let's click Submit so right here as nerds we already chose 100 but of course 100 hours is a lot so this is too much so let's edit it and make it for example 20 or tan so after watching my stream for 10 hours you earn the nerd rank so let's go to super nerd and edit it so after watching my stream for 30 hours you reach the rank of super nerd and then the third option is the group so if you want certain ranks to be only available to subscribers or to moderators you can set it up right here but this super nerd rank should be available to all viewers then afford option we will not need it right now because it's pretty advanced when you hover your cursor over it you will get some information so you can read it and set it up but we will not do it in a basic guide like this so let's submit and right now we have a second rank super nerd which requires the viewer to have watched this stream for 30 hours then let's go back and go back to these settings and right here you see with this command people get all this information but let's say they wonder what rank they are and they use the command exclamation mark rank when we go to the console and we type exclamation mark rank we see that this command doesn't do anything so let's add it ourselves so let's go to the commands click on add to add a new command and then add the command exclamation mark rank here as for any command you can enter a cost so the things we just setup that viewers or currency right here you can make them pay currency to use a certain command of course to check their rank they shouldn't use currency so let's leave this at zero so down at the bottom let's add our response so when someone uses the exclamation mark rank command they only want to know their rank so let's answer with dollar sign username so this will export the name of the person triggering the command your rank is and then dollar sign rank let's submit this then go to the console and now let's type exclamation mark rank and then we get the response the video nerd your rank is on and now you may ask yourself hey before this year rank was nerd and now it's unranked so something is wrong and well there isn't because when we go back to the currency before this was said two points you see when we go back right here I added myself Davinia North YouTube and I gave myself 100 points but I have zero hours watched on the stream so since my hours or zero I have no rank because when we go to the ranks right here you see to get a rank you need to have at least 10 hours watched on the stream so with the currency we can set up a lot of interesting things and one of them is song requests you see when we go to song requests to these settings right here you can make fewers pay currency to request a song and I have a full tutorial on song requests coming in two days and when it's out I will link it right there in the course so you might check that out and now I have a question for you what will you be using currency for what functions will people need to pay currency for to do on your stream react it down in the comments because then we can all get some
