Using the Dashboard

Once ManaoBot is running, a Dashboard window will open in your browser. You can also access it at http://localhost:3000. This is the central hub for managing your bot — you can check statuses and adjust settings from here.


Enable/disable commands and create custom ones. See Writing your First Custom Command for details.


Trigger sound effects that play in the Sound Overlay, which can be added to OBS easily. See Adding Overlays in OBS for instructions.

Adding new sounds

  1. Place audio files in the server/public/sounds/ folder inside your Manao directory
  2. Go to the Soundboard page and click Add Sound
  3. Set a name and enter the URL as /sounds/[filename].[extension], e.g. /sounds/vine-boom.mp3

You can also use an external audio link, e.g. https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/taco-bell.mp3


View and manage the song queue. Skip or remove songs requested by viewers.


Adjust bot settings without editing files.

Chat Rewards

Configure the currency viewers earn just by chatting. Can be set separately per platform:

  • Custom Replies: Set up auto-replies triggered when certain words are typed in chat
  • Channel Points: Link Twitch channel points to the Soundboard (redeem points to play sounds)
  • Scheduled Messages: Configure messages that send automatically on a timer (e.g. every 3 minutes to promote social media)
