RAID CONFIG

Managing Raid Targets

Raid Config is where you manage who you may raid at the end of stream. The page is designed so you can prepare targets ahead of time and make a clean, low-stress handoff when you are ready to send your viewers.

The Raid Target Display and Elements

Each target row provides key context to help you decide quickly: profile image, channel name, current category/game, language, title context, and action availability.

Live Status and Action Buttons

When a target is live, the action is shown as RAID. When the target is not live, the row shows OFFLINE instead so you can avoid failed raid attempts. Note that the RAID button in Whozon will start the Raid process but. you may need to complete the raid using your Twitch chat interface or wait until it times out and happens automatically.

What to Check Before Raiding

Before clicking RAID, quickly confirm category/game, language, and title fit for your audience. This avoids mismatched handoffs and improves post-stream viewer retention. Raid Ediquette: Choose a raid target that is close to your own viewership size typically. Its often seen as bad form to raid a huge streamer with a tiny audience - like you are hoping to capitalize off of their stream audience by shouting out your presence with a raid. If you wan to be appreciated by other streamers, it is considered kind and good form to raid someone else who is streaming to a smaller audience. Usually you will raid someone playng the same game or covering a similar topic whenever possible so. you are not dragging your audience to a forum that is not what they originallly wanted to experience.

Another tip, when you arrive in the other streamers channel, its polite to ask them how its going and to stick around for a minute or two while your audience arrives in the new channel. You can then leave the chat at that point. Do not make a big deal about raiding, or even actually mention it, leave that up to the streamer you are raiding. Don't be disappointed if they fail to notice or acknowledge. your arrival. These things happen

Ordering and Quick Scanning

Keep your target list focused and current. A shorter, curated list is easier to scan under pressure than a long list with stale channels. The queries to Twitch are considerable and slow the operation of the application considerably.

Adding a Raid Target

Use the Add Raid Target input to enter a channel name and submit. Whozon saves the target to your list so it is available on future visits.

Best Practice for Adding Targets

Add channels you trust and are comfortable recommending to your community. Include a mix of reliable fallbacks so you always have at least one good option live.

Validation and Results

After adding, verify the target appears correctly in the list. If a channel does not appear, re-check spelling and try again.

Removing a Raid Target

Use the remove action for channels you no longer raid. Pruning old or inactive entries keeps selection fast and reduces accidental clicks during stream wrap-up.

When to Remove a Target

Remove targets that changed content direction, became inactive, or are no longer a fit for your community tone and interests.

Operational Tip

Review your raid list periodically instead of only at stream end. Regular maintenance makes end-of-stream decisions much easier.

End-of-Stream Raid Flow (Recommended)

A consistent flow helps reduce mistakes during sign-off: open Raid Config, choose a live target, validate fit, announce the raid, click RAID, then confirm handoff.
