Step-by-Step Guide
First and foremost, it is important that you have activated the Cloudbot feature before you start assigning the Regular Role. You can do this through the settings in Streamlabs. One-time activation is necessary for all Cloudbot functions to work correctly.

Once you have activated the Cloudbot feature, open the stream and type the command "!mod streamlabs" in the chat. By doing this, you give the Cloudbot the necessary moderator rights to manage the Regular Role.
After preparing the chat accordingly, navigate to the Cloudbot. To do this, click on the Cloudbot symbol in the bottom left corner of Streamlabs. You will then be redirected to the corresponding page where all Cloudbot functions are available.
Now you are on the Cloudbot page. Here you will find the "User Management" option where you can add the Regular Role. Click on "User Management" to access the overview where you can manage user roles.
Under the User Management, you will see the category "@regular". Click on it. Here you have the option to choose between different platforms such as Twitch or YouTube. Make sure to select the correct platform on which you are streaming.
Now you can enter the viewer's username to whom you want to assign the Regular Role. For example, you could enter "Example Username" to highlight a specific user. Make sure you use the correct name to avoid mistakes.

After entering the username, click "Save" to save the changes. This way, you have assigned the "Regular" role to the user and can be sure that this viewer now has special access and permissions in the chat.

If you want to revoke the role later, you can do so at any time. Simply click on the trash can icon next to the username to delete the Regular Role. Alternatively, you can click on the pencil icon to edit the role.
The Regular Role is useful, especially if you want to make certain commands accessible only to regular viewers. Here you can make the necessary settings to ensure that only Regulars can use these special functions, making the chat system more interactive.
