Get up and running with Rotation

In Rotation settings → Music Source, choose how requests play. Spotify pushes to your Spotify queue (Premium). Free with no accounts: YouTube plays requests right inside the overlay (audio through your OBS browser source), and Apple Music plays through Cider. A free desktop Apple Music app that uses your own subscription; a "Test Cider connection" button confirms the link before you go live. Last.fm and YouTube Music (via YTMDesktop) are also supported for now-playing.

1. 1

   Open aquilo.gg/rotation

   Pick a profile name (any string, used to namespace your widget's config and OAuth tokens).

2. 2

   Sign in to Spotify

   Spotify OAuth, read-only scope. Rotation can only see what's playing + add to your queue. It can't see your library, change devices, or pause playback.

3. 3

   Done

   Track changes appear in real time. Widget auto-reconnects on token expiry.

Each view (widget, now-playing, queue, moderator, config) has its own URL. Pick one, drop into OBS as a Browser Source.

/widget

The full widget, album art, title, progress bar, command ticker.

/now-playing

Just the now-playing pill, compact horizontal bar.

/queue

Visible up-next list, what viewers requested next.

/moderator

Mod panel, approve / skip / mute requests before they hit Spotify.

/config

Live preview + every toggle.

Cross-platform, these all work from Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Kick chat (bridged via Streamer.bot).

!sr <track>

Request a song. Mod queue gates approval before Spotify gets it.

!sr <Spotify URL>

Direct request, no fuzzy match. Pasting a track URL is fastest.

!queue

Show the up-next queue on-screen for ~6 seconds.

!np

Reply with what's currently playing.

!skip

Vote-skip, needs N viewers within a window (configurable).

!fav

Mark the current track as a favorite. Tracks favorited often get auto-requeued during auto-DJ idle.

Open /moderator in a browser tab while streaming. Every !sr arrives there first. Approve to push to Spotify, skip to drop without touching Spotify.

Any preset can be overridden via URL. Drop a preset + flags into your OBS browser source URL and the widget loads with those settings, no config UI needed.
