This Streamer.bot extension makes it easy to manage a "who's next" queue when playing with viewers. Viewers can join themselves via chat commands, or you (and your moderators) can add, remove, reorder, and pick people directly from a Dock — with a clean overlay your viewers can follow along with on stream.

How Play With Viewers Works
The extension has two components:
- Dock — A compact control panel you add to OBS/Meld/SLOBS. From the dock you can:
- Open / close the queue to new joiners
- Add or remove viewers manually
- Reorder the queue with the up/down buttons on each entry
- Randomly pick N viewers from the queue with the Pick control
- Overlay — A fully transparent browser source that displays the current queue for your viewers, with optional avatars, platform badges, gamertags, and position numbers.
