YouTube Music song requests
Song requests that play on YouTube Music. Your Twitch or
Kick chat types !sr with a song name, or pastes a link from Spotify, Apple Music,
Tidal or Deezer, and PlayOver finds that exact track and queues it.
YouTube Music goes through Pear Desktop, the YouTube Music app for Windows. Free, no paid tier.
Through Pear Desktop
PlayOver’s own words: “Requests queue into Pear Desktop, the YouTube Music app for Windows (peardesktop.com). In Pear Desktop, turn on Settings → Plugins → API Server, then connect. Pear asks once whether to allow PlayOver — click Allow.”
That is the whole setup: a switch in Pear, and one permission prompt.
Requests landing in the queue
A viewer asks for a song by name or by a link from whatever they listen on, and it joins your queue right after what is playing — tagged with the viewer who asked for it.
Your viewers do not need YouTube Music
They need their Twitch or Kick chat account and nothing else. No YouTube Music, no Pear, no PlayOver account. Their link can come from any music app and PlayOver converts it to the right track on yours.
What your viewers type
The request command is !sr by default and you can change it.
Viewers also get !queue, !wrongsong, !skip and
!playover. If a song cannot be found, chat says so — and in
channel-point mode the points go back.
Commands answer only while you are live, except yours, so you can test
before a stream. !srstatus in your own chat tells you what is wrong if
something is not working.
The limits are yours
You set the maximum song length, how many songs one viewer can have waiting, the cooldown between their requests, and how many votes it takes to skip. The queue holds up to 50 songs. You and your mods can remove or skip anything in it; viewers can vote to skip. There is no blocklist, so moderation is removing and skipping rather than filtering in advance. More on how requests behave on stream.
Free, with no paid queue cap
Every feature is free — no subscription, no ads, no paid tier and no paid queue cap — including the now-playing OBS overlay, in ten styles, with a QR code viewers can scan to open the song on their own service.
Get PlayOver
Free, nothing for your viewers to install or sign up for, and Pear takes a switch and one permission.
