StreamerGiveaway is a free Twitch poll tool that runs live on your stream. You set a question and up to eight options, viewers vote by typing a chat command like !1 or !2, and the results update on your stream overlay in real time. It works on every Twitch channel and in any broadcasting software with a browser source (OBS, Streamlabs, XSplit, Twitch Studio), with no affiliate status, no bots, and nothing to install.
How it works
No external poll page, no bot to add to your channel, no extension for your viewers. You set it up, chat types, the overlay fills.
1. Write the poll
Type your question and up to 8 options. Each one gets a vote command automatically: !1, !2, !3.
2. Chat votes
Viewers type the command for their pick. No clicking, no Channel Points, no extension. The tally is instant.
3. Results on stream
Bars fill on your stream overlay live. The leading option is crowned and the result is final when time runs out.

Every command is tallied the instant it hits chat. Your dashboard shows the running total, the live bars with the leader crowned, and a feed of the most recent votes so you can see the tool is working at a glance.

Running vote total

Why not native polls
Native Twitch polls are restricted to monetized streamers (Affiliates and Partners), capped at five short options, and can charge viewers Channel Points for extra votes. This tool removes all of that.

Controls
Subscriber-only voting
Keep a poll to your subs only, or open it to everyone. Native Twitch polls cannot do sub-only.
Subscriber vote weight
Reward your supporters by counting each sub vote as more than one. Set the multiplier yourself.
Allow or lock vote changes
Let viewers retype to switch their pick, or lock the first vote so the result stays clean.
Timer with auto-close
Run for 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes, a custom length, or no timer at all and end it when you are ready.
Blind results
Hide the running tally until the poll ends so early votes do not sway the rest of chat.
Up to 8 options
Ask more than the five Twitch allows. Options are numbered !1 to !8 so voting stays simple.
They can run the poll. They never see your account, password, or billing.
Tag in a mod
Deep in a boss fight or mid-raid and chat wants to vote? Hand the poll to a mod you trust. Send one private link and they can set it up, start it, and end it from their own screen, while you stay on your game.
No password or account sharing. The link opens the poll and nothing else, not your settings, your billing, or your login.
You stay in control. Pull their access in one click anytime and the link stops working right away.
Nothing for them to install. They open the link and they are in, no account or download needed.
What chat votes on
Make it your own
The poll overlay runs through our Overlay Studio, so you can match its colors, font, corners, and glow to your brand. Pick a look once and every poll uses it.
FAQ
It is a free Twitch poll tool that runs live on your stream. You set a question and up to 8 options, viewers vote by typing a chat command like !1 or !2, and the results fill a bar chart on your stream overlay in real time. It works on any Twitch channel, with no affiliate status required.
Viewers type a simple chat command in your Twitch chat: !1 for the first option, !2 for the second, and so on up to !8. There is nothing to click, no extension to install, and no Channel Points needed. The tally updates live on your dashboard and overlay as votes come in.
