{uptime}

How long the stream has been live.

{uptime}            the channel the message came from
{uptime:login}      another channel - see "Which channel?" below

Platforms: Twitch and Kick - reads the channel the message came from; name a channel to read the other.

The time since the stream went live, like 2h 15m, on Twitch or Kick. offline when the channel isn’t live.

Examples

!uptime   →  {channel} has been live for {uptime}
!live     →  {if:{uptime}==offline|We're offline - back soon!|Live for {uptime} and going strong 💪}
!friend   →  My friend has been live for {uptime:somechannel} - go say hi!

Which channel?

Without an argument, the variable reads the channel the message was typed in: in your Kick chat it reads your Kick channel, in your Twitch chat your Twitch channel. The argument picks another:

{uptime:login}          that channel, on the same platform as the message
{uptime:twitch}         your Twitch channel (from either chat)
{uptime:kick}           your Kick channel (from either chat)
{uptime:twitch:login}   a Twitch channel by login
{uptime:kick:slug}      a Kick channel by slug (the name in its URL)

Timers have no “message platform” - they use the platform they’re posting in, so a timer that posts in both chats reads each channel for its own post.

Notes

• Refreshes about every 30 seconds.
• {uptime:{touser}} works: !uptime @friend reports on whoever was mentioned.
