Kick chat, done properly

Most multistream chat tools treat Kick as an afterthought. Messages come through, and everything that gives chat its texture does not.

What usually breaks

Kick delivers badges in two separate places. There is an older list carrying channel roles like moderator, VIP, subscriber and sub gifter, and a newer one carrying the platform-wide badges: watch-time levels, founder badges, and the collectables people earn. Tools that only read the first list silently drop everything in the second, which is why level badges often go missing.

Channel-specific artwork is a second problem. A channel's own subscriber badges and profile picture live behind Cloudflare protection that blocks ordinary server requests, so tools fall back to a generic icon.

What Combined Chat does

• Reads both badge lists, so level badges, founder badges and collectables all appear with Kick's own artwork.
• Shows each channel's real subscriber badge art rather than a placeholder.
• Respects which badges a user has equipped, matching what kick.com shows.
• Renders new badge types automatically, because it passes through whatever Kick sends rather than needing each one added by hand.
• Renders 7TV emotes for Kick channels, including each channel's own set.
• Collapses repeated messages, which matters more on Kick than elsewhere.

Sending and moderating on Kick

Logging in with Kick lets you send messages and moderate through Kick's official API, using your own account and your existing permissions.

Kick alongside everything else

Kick chat appears in the same feed as Twitch, YouTube and Rumble, which is the point if you moved to Kick and left part of your audience behind. See the setup guide to get all four running.
