Hydrate check
Chat reminding the streamer (and each other) to drink water. Long streams turn chat into a very persistent group of parents.

- Chat plays
Streams where chat controls the game by typing commands — famously 'Twitch Plays Pokémon.' Beautiful, democratic chaos.
- Lurker
A viewer who watches without chatting. Totally normal and still counts toward your viewership — lurkers are appreciated!
- VIP
A special badge a streamer grants trusted community members. VIPs skip slow mode and stand out in chat, but can't moderate.
