PartyUp · the community night queue

Everything a community night needs

Built from running real viewer games nights: the chaos is the fun part, the queue should not be.

🎮

Joins from anywhere

Chat !join on Twitch, YouTube and Kick via Streamer.bot, TikTok comments via TikFinity, or a channel point reward whose input becomes the gamertag.

⚖️

Three fair modes

First come, raffle, or fair raffle where tickets shrink with every game played tonight, so regulars do not squat every lobby.

⏱️

Ready checks

Picked viewers type !here before the countdown ring runs out. AFKs go to the back (or out) and the next in line auto-fills the seat.

⚡

Priority done right

Bits, TikTok gifts, super chats or a priority reward grant a priority lane + extra tickets. Paid boosts never kick anyone out of line.

🏷️

Gamertag capture

!join EpicName123 stores the tag. One dock click copies the whole party's tags for friend invites. Tags stay hidden on stream unless you want them shown.

🎛️

OBS dock control

Open/close, pick, reroll, force start, skip, punt, ban, party size and mode, all from a custom browser dock. Works from a phone too with remote mode.

📱

Live queue page

Drop one link in chat and viewers watch the queue live with a "find me" highlight. No more position spam in chat.

🛡️

Night memory

Games played per viewer, rejoin cooldowns, one-game-per-night caps, auto-requeue rotations, bans, and an OBS-crash-proof queue that restores itself.

Live in three minutes

No installs beyond what you already stream with. No sign-ups, ever.

Style your queue

Open the customizer: party size, selection mode, join methods, ready check, colors and layout, with a live preview. Copy your overlay URL when it looks right.

Add two things to OBS

A Browser source with your overlay URL at 1920 x 1080, and a Custom Browser Dock pointed at aquilo.gg/partyup/dock/. Make sure Streamer.bot's WebSocket server is on (default port 8080); add TikFinity for TikTok.

Open the queue and play

Hit Open queue on the dock (or type !q open). Viewers !join, you hit Pick next party, they !here, you invite, everyone plays. Share the live page link so chat can watch the line move.

Questions streamers ask

Do my viewers need to install or sign up for anything?

No. Viewers just type in chat. The live queue page is a plain link that works on any phone or browser, nothing to install, no logins.

What do I need running?

Streamer.bot with its WebSocket server enabled (Servers/Clients > WebSocket Server > Start) covers Twitch, YouTube and Kick. TikFinity covers TikTok chat and gifts. The overlay connects to both locally; if you already use PowerDeck or StreamFusion overlays it will reuse those connection settings automatically.

What happens if OBS crashes mid-night?

The queue persists locally and restores itself when the overlay reloads (positions, played counts, bans, everything, for up to 18 hours). A ready check that was running restarts its countdown instead of failing everyone.

Is paid priority pay-to-win?

You decide. Priority is off by default. When on, boosts add raffle tickets or a front lane, they never remove anyone from the queue, and a boost is spent after one game. There is also a fair raffle mode that mathematically favors viewers who have not played yet.

Can mods run the queue?

Yes: !q open, !q close, !q next, !q reroll, !q size 4, !q mode raffle, !q skip name, !q punt name, !q ban name, !q clear, !q resetnight. Toggle mod commands off in the customizer if you would rather keep control on the dock.

Does the cloud see my queue?

Only if you enable the live page / remote dock, which syncs a sanitized snapshot (display names and positions) to power the viewer page. Leave it off and PartyUp is 100% local: chat in, overlay out, nothing leaves your machine.
