What is Shoutout?
A Twitch command (/shoutout) that displays a promoted panel in chat highlighting another streamer, including their last stream category and a link to their channel.
The /shoutout command (or /so) creates a visual panel in chat promoting another streamer. It shows their profile image, last streamed category, and a direct link to their channel. It's commonly used to thank raid hosts or recommend other streamers.
Shoutouts are a lighter-weight alternative to raids — they promote a streamer without redirecting your audience. They're great for networking because they publicly acknowledge relationships.
