How To Install and Use Marketplace Chat Games

Install Marketplace chat games to give your viewers new commands and activities, with settings and management tools inside SheevChat.

Install a Game

  1. Open Marketplace from the SheevChat header.
  2. Select the Games category or type filter.
  3. Open a game and review its publisher, permissions, compatibility, dependencies, and changelog.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Open Installed Apps, select the game, and resolve anything marked Needs attention.

Only install packages from publishers you trust. Each game defines its own rules, data, commands, limits, and rewards.

Configure and Enable It

  1. Open the installed game's settings or management panel.
  2. Review its access rules, stream limits, command names, and any required connection or dependency.
  3. Save the settings.
  4. Open Bot Commands and find the protected category created by the game.
  5. Enable only the commands you want viewers to use, then review their permissions and cooldowns.

Use the game's management card to adjust its available settings and read its help. Follow the publisher's documentation for game-specific rules and administration.

Marketplace command names and aliases can be customized from their installed command cards. SheevChat built-ins have first priority, followed by Custom Commands and then Marketplace commands. A game uses its package fallback name when a preferred command is already owned.

Use the game's How to Play section or its dedicated help command to see current syntax after a rename. Compatible games may also install an optional companion widget; game commands still work without that visual.

Test Before Going Live

Use a test account or a low-impact command first. Confirm that:

  • The intended platform is enabled
  • Permission and cooldown rules work
  • Results appear in the expected chat or presentation
  • Repeated messages do not award or spend twice
  • Stream limits and resets behave as described by the package

Update or Remove a Game

Use the Marketplace Updates filter to review a new version before installing it. Retest important commands after updating.

Removing a game removes its installed files and commands. Its saved game progress is retained for a later reinstall. Keep regular SheevChat backups in case your app data is lost or deleted.

For general package health, dependencies, local imports, and removal behavior, see How To Find, Install, and Manage Marketplace Packages.

Common Problems

  • The game does not appear: Clear Marketplace filters, select Games, and confirm the package supports your SheevChat version.
  • Commands are silent: Enable the installed command category and check its platform, permission, and cooldown settings.
  • The game needs attention: Open Package Details and resolve the listed dependency, permission, connection, or compatibility issue.
  • A rule is unclear: Check the package's description and publisher documentation; each game's rules are set by its publisher.
  • A command name changed: Open the installed command card to check its current trigger and aliases. A name conflict may cause SheevChat to use a different trigger.
