What is Auto-Raid?
A feature or bot configuration that automatically raids a selected streamer when the broadcaster ends their stream, without manual input.
Auto-raid setups let you pre-select a raid target so your viewers are automatically sent to another channel when you end your stream. This is typically configured through third-party bots like Nightbot or StreamElements rather than a built-in Twitch feature.
Auto-raiding is convenient but comes with a trade-off: you lose the ability to make a real-time decision about who to raid based on who's live and how your stream went. For streamers focused on strategic raiding, manually choosing a raid target each session typically builds stronger relationships.
If you do use auto-raid, set it to target streamers you already have a networking relationship with rather than random channels.
