description: What's waiting in your TTS and media queues, and what's playing.
---

```text
{tts.queue}      how many TTS messages are waiting
{media.queue}    how many media requests are waiting
{media.now}      what's playing, like Never Gonna Give You Up (requested by Alice) - or nothing
```

**Platforms:** Twitch and Kick.

## Examples

```text
!queue   →  {tts.queue} TTS and {media.queue} videos in the queue
!np      →  🎵 {media.now}
!busy    →  {if:{media.queue}>10|The queue's stacked ({media.queue} deep) - maybe wait a bit|Queue's short, request away!}
```

For a viewer's own place in line, see [`{user.queued}`](/chat-bot/variables/user).
The built-in `!queue` and `!np` commands cover the common case; these are
for your own wording. Counts refresh every 10 seconds.
