description: Which platform the message is running on - twitch or kick.

```text
{platform}
```

**Platforms:** Twitch and Kick.

`twitch` in your Twitch chat, `kick` in your Kick chat. For a timer that
posts in both, each post gets its own value.

## Examples

```text
!where     →  You're watching on {platform}!
!discord   →  {if:{platform}==kick|Kick crew, the Discord is discord.gg/xxxxx|Twitch crew, the Discord is discord.gg/xxxxx}
!socials   →  Follow the other side too: {if:{platform}==kick|twitch.tv/{channel:twitch}|kick.com/{channel:kick}}
```

## Notes

- Lowercase, so `{if:{platform}==kick|...}` works as written.
- Announcements (follows, subs, tips) run on the platform the event came
  from; a tip announcement posts in every connected chat, once per
  platform, so `{platform}` is right in each.
