How can we help?

A raid train is a relay of streams. Each streamer goes live for their time slot, then raids the next streamer on the list, so viewers ride the "train" from channel to channel.

• A community runs the train. NBHD Demo is one example; you can belong to several.
• A train happens on a set date and time, for example every Sunday at 9:00 AM New York time.
• The train is split into slots, for example seven slots of one hour each.
• The lineup is who streams in each slot, in order.

Good to know: Trainly shows when you are on and who comes next. You still start the raid yourself on Twitch; Trainly never raids for you.

Tip: every step in the video has its own written guide under For streamers, with pictures.

Good to know: adding the flyer and lineup command, and creating or publishing trains, is for Organizers and Owners. Moderators edit a lineup only when an organizer picks them as an event moderator for that train. See Roles and permissions.

1. Open Trainly and press Sign in.
2. Press Sign in with Twitch.

   

3. Twitch opens and asks whether Trainly may connect to your Twitch account. Check that it says Trainly, then approve it. If you aren't signed in to Twitch yet, Twitch asks you to sign in first.
4. Twitch sends you back to Trainly. You'll see "Signing you in…" for a moment, then Home. The first time, Trainly creates your account with your Twitch name and picture.

What Trainly can see: only your public Twitch name, display name and picture. Trainly never posts, chats, raids or streams for you, and it never sees your Twitch password. See Your Twitch connection to sync or disconnect.

Test sites: some Trainly sites (like the demo) use test accounts instead and say "This Trainly site uses test accounts." There, press one of the names under Test accounts, or type a new name in Test account name and press Sign in. To try Trainly as someone who just arrived, press Sign in as a new account: it makes up a new name (like new_k3x9qa) and signs you in with an empty account. Test accounts are not linked to Twitch and don't carry over to a Twitch sign-in.

Didn't work? "Sign-in canceled" means the Twitch page was closed or not approved: press Back to sign in and try again. "This sign-in link has expired" means more than 10 minutes passed, or you finished in a different browser tab: start again from the same tab. "Twitch is not responding right now" means Twitch is having trouble: wait a few minutes. If the page says your session ended, just sign in again.

1. Open Home in the menu, or press the Trainly logo.

   

2. The top box shows your Twitch picture, name, Twitch name, Twitch Affiliate or Twitch Partner if you are one, your Twitch channel bio and since when you're on Twitch. Press Open my Twitch channel to open your channel on twitch.tv, or Sync from Twitch after you change something on Twitch.
3. Your streamer profile shows your bio, category, language, typical stream length, who can see your profile, and your timezone. Press Edit (or Edit profile) to change them.
4. No Trainly bio yet? If your Twitch channel has one, Home shows it with a Use my Twitch bio button. Press it to copy that text into your streamer profile; you can edit it later on Streamer profile.
5. Profile checklist shows how many steps are done, with Set up next to the ones that aren't.
6. Upcoming trains lists the next published trains in every community you belong to, soonest first, in your time. Each one shows how many slots are still open and where you stand: Slot #… · Confirmed, Slot #… reserved for you with Accept slot and Decline, You asked for slot #…, or a Come aboard button that opens the train. Press View train or the title to open the train page. Under each train you see the pictures of its confirmed streamers (+ for the rest), and while it runs, On now: who is streaming.

   

7. Nothing lined up yet? If you're in a community but have no slot, invitation or request in any upcoming train, Upcoming trains becomes Get on a train: type in the search box to find a train by its name, its community or a streamer in it, press a community to see only its trains (when you're in more than one), or press Open slots only. Then press Come aboard or Take a slot on a train.

   

8. Not in any community yet? Home shows Find your crew instead: press Find a community to browse every listed community, Join with a code if someone gave you one, or start your own community. Underneath, a few active communities you can open right away.

   

Always visible: your picture and name sit at the top of the menu on every page (on a phone, your picture is next to ☰). Press them to open Account. Test accounts show the first letter of the name instead of a picture.

Read only: Trainly only reads your public Twitch details. Nothing on Home changes anything on Twitch.

1. In the menu, open Streamer profile. On a phone it is in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
2. Fill in what you can:
   • Bio: what you stream and what raiders should expect.
   • Category / genre: for example "Just Chatting" or "Rhythm games".
   • Preferred language: pick one of Trainly's languages. Trainly opens in it on any phone or computer where you haven't picked a language (more).
   • Typical stream duration: in minutes, for example 120 for two hours. Leave it empty if it changes a lot.
   • Profile visibility: who can see your profile (see the tip below).
3. Press Save profile. You'll see "Profile saved", and the box on the right shows how organizers see you.

   

Which visibility should I pick? Communities only is the safe default: only communities you belong to see your profile. When you accept a slot in a train that has a public page, your name and Twitch username appear in its lineup. Public also shows your category there, and your bio on the public page of every community you belong to. Private hides your name in public train lineups: they just say "Confirmed streamer".

On your community's public page: every member is listed there with their name, Twitch picture, Twitch username and role, whatever visibility you pick. Only Public adds your bio. Leaving the community takes you off its page.

Changed your mind? Press Discard changes before saving to go back to what was saved.

Your email is never shown to anyone. Next: set your timezone.

1. At the bottom of the menu, under Help center, press Light mode. Press Dark mode in the same place to go back. On a phone, press ☰ first.
2. Or open Account and pick Dark or Light under Appearance.

   

Good to know: your choice is saved in the browser you use, so each phone or computer remembers its own. Public train pages you open in that browser follow it too; this help center keeps its own look.

1. At the bottom of the menu, under Help center, open the language list (🌐) and pick yours: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, 日本語 or Português. The page reloads in that language. On a phone, press ☰ first.
2. Or open Account and, in the Appearance box under Language, press the language you want.

   

Not signed in yet? The sign-in page (under the sign-in buttons) and the bottom of the front page have the same language list.

Good to know: your choice is saved in the browser you use. If your browser is set to one of these languages, Trainly starts in it until you pick one. Help center opens this help center in the same language, and the top of every help page lists all the languages. If your browser also lists another of these languages, Trainly offers it once in a small note at the top, written in that language.

Your profile's language: the Preferred language in your streamer profile is the one Trainly uses on any phone or computer where you haven't picked a language. Changing it there also switches the browser you're using; the list at the bottom of the menu and the Account buttons change this browser only. If you filled in the old Primary language box, that language is shown here but doesn't change Trainly's language until you choose a language in Preferred language and press Save profile (choosing the one already shown counts).

What stays the same: names people typed (communities, trains, bios) are never translated. The posts Trainly makes in Discord are still in English for now.

1. The first time you open Trainly in a browser, a small note at the bottom says so. Press Got it to close it, or Learn more to read the details. It doesn't come back in that browser.

   

2. To read it again later, press Cookies and privacy at the bottom of the front page or on the sign-in page.

   

What Trainly remembers: your sign-in, your language and light or dark mode, the community you were looking at, your train clock, tips you closed, and which device gets alerts if you turned them on. Signing out removes your sign-in; to remove everything, clear this site's data in your browser's settings.

Other services: signing in with Twitch happens on twitch.tv, under Twitch's own cookies and privacy policy, and Twitch profile pictures load from Twitch. Phone and browser alerts are delivered by your browser's own push service. Nothing about you is sold or shared for advertising.

1. In the menu, open Account.
2. Press Use my device timezone. This picks the timezone your computer or phone is set to. You can also press the Timezone button and pick one: type a city or region (for example new york) to find it, and each one shows its time difference from UTC, for example America/New_York UTC−4. On a phone the list slides up from the bottom of the screen: press Close at its top right (or tap the page above it) to go back without changing anything.

   

3. Change your Display name if you like. This is the name organizers see.
4. Press Save account.

Tip: timezones are listed as Region/City. Pick the big city that shares your clock, for example America/Chicago for Central time in the US.

1. Got a join link (it looks like …/join/nbhd-raid-train)? Just open it. If you're not signed in yet, sign in with Twitch and Trainly brings you straight back with the code filled in; skip to step 4.
2. Got a code instead? In the menu, open Join by invite code. You can also press Join with a code on your Home page while you're in no community.
3. Type the code into Community code and press Look up.
4. Check the name and description so you know it's the right community.
5. Press Join as Streamer. Not a streamer, but here to help run the trains? Press Join as Crew instead (what Crew is). You'll see a welcome message and the community's page.

   

6. Some communities check new members first. Then the buttons say Ask to join and Ask to join as Crew instead. Press one and you'll see "Request sent". A moderator of that community decides, and you get a notification either way.

   

Tip: capitals don't matter. NBHD-Demo and nbhd-demo are the same code. Don't have a code? Find the community by its name instead.

"No community with that code"? Check the spelling with your organizer. Codes use letters, numbers and dashes only, with no spaces. If it says you are already a member, you're all set; press Open community. If it says "This community isn't accepting new members right now", its owner has closed joining; ask one of its organizers.

1. When you join (with the code, a join link, the community's window or an invite), press Join as Crew instead of Join as Streamer. Already a member? An Owner can change your role to Crew on Members.
2. As Crew you see everything a Streamer sees, and also the community's draft trains, read only, so you can help get them ready.
3. You're never put in a lineup: nobody can reserve or invite you for a slot, and Come aboard isn't offered to you.
4. Need to edit one train's lineup? An organizer can pick you as an event moderator of that train.
5. You can send a message to anyone on a train's lineup: press ⋯ on their stop, then Send message.

Good to know: Crew is listed in the community's Team on its public page. To start streaming later, ask an Owner to make you a Streamer. An Owner can only make someone Crew when they have no slots, invitations or requests on upcoming trains.

1. Open Find a raid train: from the front page press Find a train to watch, in the app use Find a raid train under Communities in the menu, or follow the link at the bottom of any public page.
2. Type a train's name, a streamer's name or a community in the search box. Leave it empty to see everything.
3. Narrow it down with Live now, Today, This week or Any time. Live now shows how many trains are running.

   

4. Press a train to open its public page with the lineup and both times. Running trains come first and say who is on now; press Show more trains at the bottom for more.

What's listed: only trains a community made Public and published, from now on. Trains shared only by link (Unlisted), Private trains and drafts never appear, and streamers whose profile is Private are counted but never named or found by name. The link of a search, like /trains?q=nbhd, can be shared.

1. Open All communities in the menu (Communities in the bar at the bottom on a phone). If you already belong to a community, the page opens on Your communities: press Discover to see every community.
2. Each card shows the community's banner, logo and name, the start of its description, how many members it has and how many public trains are coming up. To narrow the list, type part of a name, code or description in the search box, or change Sort to Most members, Most trains, Newest or A to Z. Show more under the cards loads the next ones.

   

3. Next to the logo, each card shows where you stand: your role if you're a member, Join if anyone can join, Request to join if a moderator checks new members, Request sent while your request waits, or Invite only. Press that button, or the community's name, to open its window with its logo, code, member count, timezone and full description.
4. Press Request to join. A moderator of that community reviews your request; you see "Request sent" and get a notification when they decide. Communities that are open to everyone show Join community instead: press it and you're in as a Streamer right away. Next to it, Request to join as Crew or Join as Crew does the same as Crew.

   

Good to know: pressing a community you're already in opens it straight away. A community that hasn't uploaded a banner shows its logo repeated over its color, or just its color and first letter when it has no logo. "Public trains" are the upcoming trains anyone can see on the community's public page; drafts and unlisted trains aren't counted. If you're a member, the banner also says how many people in that community are live on Twitch right now. See its public page in the window shows the community's upcoming public trains.

"No community matches …"? Check the spelling, or ask the organizer for the community's code and use Join a community with its code. "This community isn't taking requests right now"? It only lets people in with a personal invite; ask one of its organizers to invite you by your Twitch name.

1. On the Trainly front page, scroll to Find your crew and press See all communities. You can also press Find a community at the bottom of the front page or of any public page.
2. Search by name, code or description, pick Most active, Most members, Newest or A to Z, or tick Open to join only. Each card shows the community's banner, logo, description, members and upcoming public trains, how it takes new members (Open to join, Approval needed or Invite only) and Train live now while one of its public trains is running.

   

3. Press a community to open its public page with its upcoming public trains and team. Press Join … (with the community's name) when anyone can join, or Request to join when a moderator checks new members.

   

4. Sign in with Twitch. Trainly opens the join page with the community's code already filled in: press Join as Streamer, or Join as Crew if you help without streaming (what Crew is).

No join button? The community is Invite only: ask one of its organizers to invite you by your Twitch name. Can't find a community? Its Owner may have hidden it from Trainly's lists; ask an organizer for its link or code and use Join a community with its code.

1. Open the link. It looks like …/invite/ followed by letters and numbers. You see who invited you, their message, and which Twitch account the invite is for.
2. If you're not signed in, press Sign in to accept and sign in with that Twitch account. Trainly brings you straight back to the invite.
3. Press Join as Streamer, or Join as Crew if you help run the trains without streaming (what Crew is). You'll see a welcome message and the community's page.

   

No link handy? Your invites also wait under Community invites at the top of Invitations, even ones sent before you first signed in to Trainly. Press Join as Streamer, Join as Crew or Decline. The person who invited you is told when you decline, and you can still join from the link until it expires.

Tip: an invite link lets you in even when the community normally asks new members to wait for approval.

It says the invite is for a different Twitch account? You're signed in with another account. Press Sign out, then sign in with the account the invite names. It says the invite was withdrawn, has expired or was already used? Invite links work for 14 days and only once. Ask the person who invited you for a new one.

No link, just a code? See Join a community with its code.

1. Find the Community button at the top of the menu. On a phone, press the ☰ button at the top left first.

   

2. Press it and pick the community you want. Each one shows your role on the right, for example NBHD Demo Streamer. When one of your other communities has messages you haven't read, it says how many, for example Streamer · 1 new. With many communities, type part of the name to find it.

   

3. The links right under the button switch to that community: Overview, Trains, Members, Messages, and Invite streamers if you're a moderator or above. They sit together in one panel at the top of the menu, above You. If you're reading Messages when you switch, you land on the other community's messages.

Not in a community yet? The top of the menu says Join or create a community, with Join a community (find one and ask to join) and Create a community for your own raid train.

You can also see every community you belong to under All communities.

1. Pick your community with the Community button, then open Trains in the menu.
2. Press Upcoming to see what's next. Each train shows its date and start time in your timezone, and how many slots it has. A train that is running right now stands out in orange with Live now and Running now, until …. Under each train you see the pictures of its confirmed streamers in running order (+ for the rest), and while it runs, On now: who is streaming.

   

3. Press a train to open it. At the top you'll see the start and end time in your timezone, the one set on your Account. If the train was planned in another timezone, Trainly also shows the Train time, the organizer's clock, and a Your time / Train time switch. The switch changes the times at the top and in the whole Lineup, and Trainly remembers your choice.
4. Look at Lineup to see each slot in order, with its time in your timezone and who is streaming. Each streamer's Twitch picture sits next to their name; test accounts show their first letter instead. While the train runs, the stop on air is highlighted with On now and the next stream stop says Up next, by the schedule.

   

5. To move to the train before or after this one, swipe left or right on a phone, or press the ‹ or › arrow in the flyer's top corners (hover over one to see which train it opens). They go in date order through the community's trains you can see; the top line says where you are, for example 1 of 2. Back still returns to the list.

   

6. While a train is running, its page plays the stop on air: Twitch's player takes the place of the date and time, with Live, who is on until when, and who is next under it, and Watch on Twitch to open the channel. It switches to the next streamer by itself when their stop starts. It starts muted: press the sound button in the player. The date and time are still in the line below.
7. If the organizers added them, Flyer and lineup command shows the train's flyer and a line of text to paste in your chat. Press Copy command to copy it.
8. Scroll down to About this train and read Guidelines for the community's rules, for example when to raid.

Looks like a flyer? That's the streamer view: each slot leads with the streamer's Twitch picture, with your own slot highlighted. Press Public page at the top to open the page you can share with viewers. Organizers and lineup editors see the lineup editor instead.

Why can't I see some trains? Trains still being planned are drafts. Only organizers, moderators and the streamers they invited see a draft until it is published.

Invited to a draft, or a slot reserved for you? You see that train like any other: the flyer, the lineup and your slot, with a note saying it's a draft. Accept or decline from Invitations, or with Accept slot on the train for a reserved slot. The rest of the community can't see it yet, and nobody can come aboard until the organizers publish it.

Organizers and moderators see trains in their own timezone too. Press Train time to see the clock the train was planned in. When you edit a train's date and start time, you still type them in the train's timezone.

No player? It only shows for streamers who signed in with Twitch, and not during breaks or open slots. If Twitch doesn't show the streamer as live yet, the player waits for them. On the public page it shows only for streamers the page names with a Twitch link, never for Private profiles.

Want to share the lineup with viewers? See Share a train's public page. Want in? Ask to come aboard an open slot. When an organizer invites you to a slot, you answer from Invitations; every slot you accepted is listed in My Trains.

1. Open the train: from Upcoming trains on Home, or from Trains in your community's menu.
2. In the Lineup, every open slot you can ask for shows Open slot. Want it? with a Come aboard button. Press it on the slot you want.

   

3. Add a message for the organizers if you like, then press Come aboard in the box. You'll see "Request sent".
4. The row now says You asked to come aboard this slot. Waiting for an organizer. Changed your mind? Press Withdraw request.
5. When an organizer decides, you get a notification. If they accepted, the slot is yours: it shows as Confirmed in the lineup, in My Trains and on Home. Can't make it after all? Press Can't make it? on it to swap, send a heads-up or give it up (how), or Withdraw in My Trains.

Tip: asking does not hold the slot. Someone else can ask for the same one, and the organizer picks. You can have one open request per train; after a no, you can ask for another slot.

No Come aboard button? You see it only on open slots of a published train (never on a draft, even one you were invited to), when you don't already have a slot or an open request in that train. Locked slots, breaks and slots that already started can't be asked for. If the button is there but pressing it says "You already have a confirmed train at that time", you're booked in another community then. On a train that says Open to members you don't ask: press Take this slot instead (how).

1. Open the train from Trains in your community's menu, or press Take a slot next to it under Upcoming trains on Home. These trains say Open to members next to their title.
2. Every open slot you can take says Open slot. It's yours if you take it. Press Take this slot on the one you want.

   

3. Check the time in the box and press Take this slot. The slot is yours right away: it shows your name and Confirmed, and it's listed in My Trains. The organizers get a notification.
4. Can't make it after all? Press Can't make it? on your slot to swap, send a heads-up or give it up (how). A slot you give up is open again for any member to take.

Tip: you can take one slot per train. Want a different one? Give yours up first, then take the other.

No Take this slot button? You already have a slot in this train, or the slot is locked, a break or has already started. Crew members don't stream, so they don't get the button. "Someone just took slot #…" means another member was faster: pick another open slot. "You already have a confirmed train at that time" means you're booked in another train then.

1. You get a notification "A slot is reserved for you" (or "Reminder: …" if the organizers asked again). Open it, or open the train from Upcoming trains on Home. This works on drafts too: if the train is still a draft, you can see it because a slot is reserved for you, and it shows a Draft badge.
2. Your slot shows Reserved for you. Will you take it? Press Accept slot to confirm it, or Decline if you can't make it. You can add a note when you decline.

   

3. Accepted slots turn Confirmed and appear in My Trains. Declined slots open up again and the organizers are told. Accepted, then plans changed? Press Can't make it? on it to swap, send a heads-up or give it up (how), or Withdraw in My Trains.

Accept doesn't work? Trainly won't let you be in two trains at the same time; if you already confirmed an overlapping slot elsewhere, it says so. Decline this one or withdraw from the other.

Said yes in chat? An organizer can confirm the slot for you. You get a notification, and you can still withdraw if plans change.

1. On the train page, press Add my slot to calendar. It says Add to calendar when you don't have a slot on that train: then the whole train is added. Right after you press Accept on an invitation or Accept slot, Trainly also asks You're aboard!: press Add to calendar there.
2. Choose where it goes. Calendar on this device is the calendar on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows computer (Apple Calendar, Outlook and most others). Google Calendar is for Google Calendar, which most Android phones use; on Android it is listed first.
3. On an iPhone or iPad, the train opens in a calendar preview: add it from there. On a computer, open the file that downloads and your calendar app adds it. With Google Calendar, check the details and save.
4. Want one streamer's set? Every slot in the Lineup has its own calendar button: the small calendar icon at the right of the slot. It adds just that slot, with the streamer's name, date and time, on the train page and on the public page. There, Add to calendar next to Copy link adds the whole train instead.

The time changed? A calendar entry does not update by itself. If the organizers move your slot, delete the old entry and add it again. "This calendar link has expired"? The link from the app works for 30 minutes. Go back to the train and press the button again.

1. Open the train in Trainly and scroll down to Public page.
2. Press Copy public link and paste it in Discord, on social media or in your stream chat. Open public page shows it to you first.

   

3. Anyone who opens the link sees the community's name, the train time, the lineup and the guidelines. If they live in another timezone, they also see your time; the Train time / Your time switch changes the times in the lineup.

   

4. On a phone, the page fits the screen. Up next marks who is on next, and Now (scheduled) marks the slot the schedule says is running.

   

While the train runs: the public page plays the stop on air from Twitch where the date and time are, for streamers it names with a Twitch link (not Private profiles). It starts muted and switches streamer by itself (more).

What viewers see: only streamers who accepted their slot, by name, Twitch picture and Twitch username. Slots still being arranged say Open slot; who was invited, notes and messages are never shown. Watch on Twitch and the Twitch picture appear for streamers who signed in with Twitch. Test accounts in this preview show their first letter in a circle and "demo account, no Twitch channel" instead. A streamer whose profile is Private shows as "Confirmed streamer", with no name or picture.

Now and Up next follow the schedule. Trainly does not check whether a channel is actually live yet.

Tip: every community also has a page that lists its upcoming public trains and its members: /c/ followed by its code, for example /c/nbhd-demo. Organizers find it under Overview as Public page.

Who is on the community page: under the trains, Team lists the community's Owners, Organizers and Moderators and Streamers everyone else. Each card has the member's picture, name, role and a twitch.tv/ link to their channel (it opens in a new tab). Members with a Public profile also show the start of their bio. Test accounts show "demo account" instead of a link. People who asked to join and are still waiting, and people who left, are never listed. More than 12 in a list? Press Show all.

"This train page isn't available"? The train is still a draft, its organizers made it Private, or the link is incomplete. Ask an organizer for a fresh link. See Choose who can see a train.

1. Open the train. On its public page, Download flyer is right under the poster, next to Share and Copy link. Signed in to Trainly? Open the train in Trainly: Download flyer is in Flyer and lineup command, right under the Flyer (under Add a flyer when there is none yet).
2. Want the times in your own timezone? Press Your time first. The flyer uses the clock the page shows and says which one under the time.
3. Press Download flyer. Under Colors, pick Dark or Light. Then pick a size:
   • Square (1080 × 1080): Instagram posts and Discord.
   • Story (1080 × 1920): Instagram and TikTok stories.
   • Wide (1920 × 1080): X posts and Discord banners.

   

   

4. On a computer the picture is saved to your downloads. On a phone the share menu opens: pick Save Image to keep it in your photos, or an app to post it straight away.

   

   

   

5. Organizers and owners: at the bottom of the same menu, Use as train flyer saves the square flyer, in the colors you picked, as the train's flyer. Everyone in the community then sees it under Flyer and lineup command. If the train already has a flyer, Trainly asks first: Replace flyer or Keep the old flyer.

Good to know: the flyer is made in your browser from the lineup on the page, so it shows the lineup as it is right now. Make a new one after the lineup changes. The logo and color are your community's (Owners set the logo in Add your community logo); without them the flyer shows the first letter and Trainly's orange. Streamers who signed in with Twitch show their Twitch picture; others show their first letter. Open slots are drawn dashed with a question mark. From the train page, only confirmed streamers are named: reserved and invited slots show as open, so a shared flyer never shows who was only asked. The QR code and the page address are printed only for Public and Unlisted trains that are published. Long lineups get smaller rows, then two columns (three on Wide); if they still don't fit, the last box says how many more stops there are, so pick Story or Wide for a long train.

Didn't work? If you see "The flyer couldn't be made in this browser", try another browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox), or take a screenshot of the lineup instead.

1. Open the train in Trainly and scroll down to Stream overlay, just under Flyer and lineup command. It's there once the train is published as Public or Unlisted.
2. Under Look, pick Lineup for Trainly's list of stops (the next step), or Animated train for a train that rolls across your stream (see Animated train below).
3. Pick how it looks. Column fits the side of your screen; Strip fits the top or bottom. Whole lineup shows every stop; Now + next 4 shows five stops and moves along as the train goes. Dark panel puts the flyer's night colors behind the lineup; See-through shows only the lineup over your stream. If you live in another timezone than the train, Train time / My time picks the clock. Preview shows the result; the squares are where your stream shows through.
4. Press Copy overlay link. Open overlay shows it on its own in a new tab.

   

5. Not sure how to add it? Press Add it in OBS. A window opens with these same steps, the size to use and its own Copy overlay link button; press Close when you're done.

   

6. In OBS Studio, pick your scene. In the Sources box press +, choose Browser, name it "Raid train lineup" and press OK.
7. Paste the link into URL. Set Width and Height to the size the Add it in OBS window shows: 460 × 1080 for Column, 1920 × 220 for Strip, 1920 × 1080 for Animated train.
8. Leave Custom CSS as it is (OBS's own setting keeps the background see-through). Turn on Refresh browser when scene becomes active and press OK.
9. Drag the lineup where you want it. Drag a corner to make it smaller. To cut off the bottom, hold Alt (Option on a Mac) and drag the bottom edge.

Streamlabs Desktop: add a Browser Source the same way and paste the link. On a website: press Put it on a website in the same box; in the window that opens, press Copy website code, and paste it into a "Custom HTML" or "Embed" block on your page.

What it shows: the same lineup as the public page: confirmed streamers with their picture and name, open slots and breaks, with Now on the slot the schedule says is running and Up next on the next one. It checks for changes every 30 seconds. Now and Up next follow the schedule; Trainly does not check who is actually live.

Tip: changed an option? Copy the link again and paste it over the old one in OBS. For a long train, Now + next 4 keeps the overlay short.

Animated train

The animated train is RaidTrainOverlay by GOPROSLOWYO (GitHub), hand-built by the brilliant GOPROSLOWYO. Each streamer rides in their own car, the community drives the engine, and a NOW sign follows the schedule. Trainly sends it the train's lineup; the train itself is GOPROSLOWYO's work.

1. Under Look, pick Animated train.
2. Pick a Theme, such as Classic Americana, Synthwave, 16-bit pixel or Pride, or Shuffle (every theme in turn). Under Motion, Rolling keeps the train on screen; Every 15 minutes rolls it across, then clears your stream. Preview shows the train with your choices.

   

3. Press Copy overlay link and add it in OBS with the steps above, at Width 1920 and Height 1080. The train runs along the bottom of your screen. Changed the theme or motion? Copy the link again and paste it over the old one.

Good to know: a long slot is still one car, and open slots show as OPEN cars. Put it on a website is only for Lineup. If the animated train is empty, check the same things as below: it only shows trains that have a public page.

The overlay is empty? It only shows trains that have a public page. If the organizers moved the train back to draft, made it Private or canceled it, the overlay goes blank on purpose, so your viewers never see an error. It comes back by itself within 30 seconds once the train is public again. Still empty? Right-click the source in OBS, choose Properties, and press Refresh cache of current page.

1. Open TrainlyBot in the menu (under Tools).
2. Press Add TrainlyBot to my chat. Twitch opens and asks for one permission: letting TrainlyBot join your chat as a bot. Check that Twitch shows your own channel, then press Authorize. You come back to the TrainlyBot page.
3. Under Your chat, check the list: Added to your chat, Twitch lets it post and Moderator (recommended).
4. Recommended: type /mod trainlybot in your own Twitch chat, then press Check again. As a moderator, TrainlyBot can post more often, even in a busy chat.
5. Press Send a test post. A short message from TrainlyBot appears in your chat, and Recent posts in your chat shows it as Posted. You can send one test post a minute. The list shows 10 posts at a time, newest first: use Previous, Next or a page number under it for older ones.

Or in one click: on www.trainlybot.com, press Add TrainlyBot to my chat and approve on Twitch. You don't need to sign in to Trainly first; if you're new, your Trainly account is made from your Twitch login. Settings and Turn off are still here on the TrainlyBot page.

Already a moderator? If TrainlyBot is already a moderator in your chat, you don't need the Twitch step: press Check again and Trainly adds it.

What TrainlyBot does in your chat: three switches, Answer chat commands, Automatic train posts and Streamer commands. Set them and press Save.

Commands your chat can type: !train, !nextup, !lineup, !schedule and !trainly. While Answer chat commands is on, TrainlyBot answers each one once every 30 seconds. If your StreamElements bot answers them too, chat gets two answers: remove them in StreamElements, or set Answer chat commands to Off here.

What it can't do: TrainlyBot can't ban anyone or change your channel. It only starts a raid when you type !raidnow yourself, after you turned on Let TrainlyBot start my raids. Trainly never sees your Twitch password.

Turn it off: press Turn off TrainlyBot and confirm. It stops posting in your chat at once, and you can add it again later. To remove Trainly from Twitch completely: Twitch › Settings › Connections › Trainly › Disconnect. TrainlyBot then turns off in Trainly too.

Automatic train posts: when you're on a train whose organizers turned on TrainlyBot posts, TrainlyBot posts the train's moments in your chat while you're live: the train start, who's next, the raid reminder (you still start the raid yourself) and the end of the line. Set Automatic train posts to Off and press Save to stop them in your chat.

Commands only you can type: in your own Twitch chat, !ready checks you in for your stop (from 30 minutes before it starts), !late 10 tells the organizers you're running late (the number is minutes), !cantmake tells them you might not make your stop, and !trainlybot pause stops TrainlyBot's train posts in your chat until your stream ends (!trainlybot resume turns them back on; your moderators can type these two as well). TrainlyBot answers so you know it worked. Viewers who type them get nothing. To turn them off, set Streamer commands to Off and press Save. While the site is in test mode, try them under Try a command.

Shoutouts: if your chat is on a train with Shoutout on, TrainlyBot gives the next streamer a Twitch shoutout at handoff. For that, TrainlyBot must be a moderator in your chat (/mod trainlybot) and added with Add TrainlyBot to my chat.

Let TrainlyBot start my raids: an extra Twitch permission, separate from adding TrainlyBot. Press Let TrainlyBot start my raids and approve on Twitch. Then, during your stop, type !raidnow in your chat to raid the next stop on the lineup, or !raidcancel to stop a raid that is still counting down. Twitch still shows you its pop-up and 90-second countdown. Only you can type these, and TrainlyBot never raids anyone else or on its own. To take the permission back, press Stop letting TrainlyBot start my raids.

A post says Not posted? The reason is shown under it. Most often Twitch no longer lets TrainlyBot in: press Add TrainlyBot to my chat again, or type /mod trainlybot in your chat and press Check again.

The page says TrainlyBot isn't available yet? Trainly hasn't switched its bot on yet. Come back later.

1. Open the train and scroll down to the TrainlyBot card.
2. Set TrainlyBot posts to On.
3. Press Which posts to open it (closed, it shows how many are on, like "9 of 9 on") and tick the posts you want: Train start, All aboard, Next stop is live, Handoff heads-up, Raid reminder, Change of plans, Welcome raiders and End of the line. Each one says when it's posted. All are ticked at first.
4. Optional: set Lineup timer to Every 30 min or Every 60 min to post who's next in the chat of the stop on air.
5. Press Save TrainlyBot settings.
6. Check Stops. Only stops marked Ready get posts. For the others, press Copy invite to TrainlyBot and paste the invite to those streamers: each streamer adds TrainlyBot to their own chat (how).

When TrainlyBot posts: only in the chat of a stop that is live on Twitch, each post once, in the language that streamer picked in Trainly. The raid reminder shows the /raid command to type: TrainlyBot never starts the raid. A streamer whose profile is private is called "the next streamer" instead of by name.

This train's posts (press it to open) lists what TrainlyBot posted for this train, marked Posted or Not posted with the reason.

Moderators who weren't picked for this train see the card but can't change it.

Checked in and heads-ups from chat: when a streamer types !ready in their chat, the lineup shows Checked in with the time. !late 10 and !cantmake arrive as the usual heads-up (Running late, "10 min", or Might not make it) with a notification, just like from the train page.

Organizer messages: press Organizer messages to open it. Closed, it shows how many you have and how often one goes out, like "2 of 5 · every 30 min". Press Add a message: a window opens with a big box for up to 300 characters, for example your Discord link or "follow everyone on the lineup". Press Save message. To change a message, press Edit next to it; Remove message in the same window takes it out. You can have up to 5. Set Post one to Every 30 min or Every 60 min: that is saved right away. TrainlyBot posts them one at a time, in order, in the chat of the stop on air, only while TrainlyBot posts is On. It takes out @ pings and leading command characters. Only Organizers and Owners can change them; Moderators see them.

Shoutout: with Shoutout ticked under Which posts, TrainlyBot gives the next streamer a Twitch shoutout at each handoff (Twitch shows its own card with a Follow button). Twitch only allows it in chats where TrainlyBot is a moderator and was added with Add TrainlyBot to my chat, and never for a streamer with a private profile.

What do the stop labels mean? Not added: that streamer hasn't added TrainlyBot yet, so send the invite. Posts off: the streamer set Automatic train posts to Off. Turned off: the streamer turned TrainlyBot off. Twitch says no: Twitch no longer lets TrainlyBot into that chat, so the streamer adds it again. No streamer yet: the slot is still open.

1. Open Invitations in the menu. A number next to it means invitations are waiting for you. On a phone, press Invites in the bottom bar.
2. Each card shows the community, the train, your slot and its time in your timezone. If the train runs in another timezone, its own time is shown too ("Train time").
3. Check Answer within…: after that deadline the invitation expires and the slot goes to someone else. Open Train guidelines to read the community's rules.
4. Press Accept to take the slot, or Decline if you can't make it. When you decline you can leave a short note for the organizer (optional).

   

5. Some invitations say Pick a slot or Roster call · pick a slot. Press the slot button under the invitation (it says Choose a slot or shows a slot such as #3), pick a time, then press Accept. The first person to accept a slot gets it.
6. After you accept, the slot appears in My Trains and the organizer gets a notification.

Tip: the Answered tab keeps everything you've already replied to. Ten invitations fit on a page: press Next or a page number under the list for older ones.

"You already have a confirmed train at this time"? You accepted another train (in any of your communities) that overlaps this slot. Trainly won't let you be in two places at once. Withdraw from the other one first, or decline this one.

"That slot was just taken"? Someone else accepted it a moment before you. For a "pick a slot" invitation, choose another time and press Accept again.

"This invitation expired"? The deadline passed before you answered. Ask the organizer to send it again.

"Train draft" on the invitation? The organizers are still planning the train and invited you before opening it to everyone. You can open it with View train and answer right away; only invited streamers can see it until it's published.

1. Open My Trains in the menu (on a phone, Trains in the bottom bar).
2. Upcoming lists your next slots, grouped by day in your timezone. Each card shows the community, the train, your slot number and your start and end time.
Each card also shows the pictures of the train's confirmed streamers (+ for the rest), and while it runs, On now: who is streaming.
3. If the train runs in another timezone, the card also shows the Train time in that zone, so you can compare with the community's announcements.

   

4. Press View train to open the whole lineup and its guidelines.
5. Past shows trains you've done; Canceled shows trains the organizer canceled.

Good to know: daylight saving changes are handled for you. If your country changes its clocks on a different weekend than the train's, the time you see is still right.

Times look a few hours off? Your account timezone is probably still UTC. See Set your timezone.

1. Open the train. Your stop in the Lineup says Your slot. Press Can't make it? on it.

   

2. To trade times: press Ask to swap and pick a streamer. Trainly says what would change, for example "You'd stream 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (slot #3). Cozy Corvid would take 9:00 to 10:00 AM (slot #1)." Add a message if you like, then press Send swap request.

   

3. The other streamer gets a notification and sees your request on their stop, with Accept swap and Decline. Nothing moves until they accept. Then you trade times at once, and the organizers are told. Until then your stop says Swap asked · waiting for …; press Take back to cancel it.

   

4. To warn the organizers: press Give the organizers a heads-up, pick Running late, Tech trouble, Might not make it or Something else, add a message if you like, and press Send to organizers. You keep your slot.

   

5. The organizers get a notification and see an amber Heads-up on your stop. Other streamers don't see it. When things are fine again, press All set again on your stop.

   

Tip: really can't come? Choose Give up my slot in the same window. The slot opens for someone else and the organizers are told (more).

Someone can't be picked for a swap? They may not have confirmed their slot yet, or it's an open slot (ask an organizer to move you there). Swaps keep everyone else's time the same, so only slots of the same length work. Locked slots and slots that already started can't be swapped. Swaps work on drafts too, until the train starts. Ask an organizer: they can still move stops with Swap with in the lineup. "They already have a confirmed train at your time" means accepting would double-book them.

1. Open My Trains and find the train. Every upcoming slot has a Withdraw button.
2. Press Withdraw on its card.
3. Add a short note for the organizers if you like (optional), then press Withdraw to confirm. Press Keep my slot if you changed your mind.

Tip: you can do the same from the train page. In the Lineup, press Can't make it? on your slot, then Give up my slot. Add a note if you like, then press Give up slot to confirm. The same window also lets you ask another streamer to swap or send a heads-up instead. If the slot came from an invitation, you can also withdraw from its card in Invitations › Answered.

Good to know: once you withdraw, you can't take the slot back yourself. On a published train you can ask to come aboard again if the slot is still open; otherwise ask the organizer to put you back.

1. Open the train. In the Lineup, press ⋯ on the stop of the person you want to write to, then Send message.

   

2. Write your message (up to 500 characters) and press Send. Cancel closes the window without sending.

   

3. They get a notification marked Message with your name, the train and the start of your message. Pressing it opens the train at their messages. Every message also lands on Messages in that community's part of their menu.

   

4. On the train page, a Messages card shows the three newest messages sent to them about that train, by anyone, with who sent it and when. With more, See all … on the Messages page opens the rest. The first time they see a message it's tagged New.

   

Good to know: the Messages card only shows up for someone who has received a message about that train, and each person sees only their own. Seeing it marks the messages and their notifications as read. To answer, press Reply on the Messages page: once per message.

No Send message? You can write to people on a train's lineup if you have a slot on it (reserved, invited or confirmed), you're one of its event moderators, or you're Crew, a Moderator, an Organizer or an Owner of the community. A Streamer who isn't on that train can't. You can only write to someone on the lineup, never to yourself. "You've sent a lot of messages in the last hour" means you reached the limit (10 an hour to the same person, 30 an hour in all): wait a little and try again.

1. Open the community and press the Members tab (or Members in the menu). Find the person; Search by name or Twitch name helps in a big community.
2. On their row, next to their role, press the chat bubble (Send message). It isn't on your own row.

   

3. The same window as on a train opens, with In and your community's name under theirs. Write your message (up to 500 characters) and press Send. Cancel closes it without sending.
4. They get a notification marked Message: "… sent you a message in" your community. Pressing it opens that community's Messages. On the community's Overview, one line says how many messages there are new, with Open Messages.

   

Good to know: every member, Streamers and Crew included, has the chat bubble on Members. A sent message can't be edited, and the same limits apply to everyone: 10 an hour to the same person, 30 an hour in all, counting messages about trains too. Messages are short notes, not a chat; see Read and answer your messages.

1. Pick the community at the top of the menu, then press Messages under Members (on a phone, open the menu with ☰ first). The number next to it is how many you haven't read in that community. Open Messages on the community's Overview and a Message notification open it too.

   

2. The first time you see a message it's tagged New; seeing it marks it read. With more than ten, use Previous, Next or a page number at the bottom. In more than one community? New in your other communities: above the list names the others with unread messages; press one to read them, or switch with the Community button.
3. To answer, press Reply. The same window as Send message opens, for the person who wrote it. Write up to 500 characters and press Send. You can reply once; after that the message says You replied and when.

   

4. When someone answers you, their reply starts with Replying to your message: and the start of what you wrote. A reply can't be answered; to write again, use Send message on the Members tab.
5. Done with a message? Press Archive to move it out of your inbox. Archived lists them; Move to inbox brings one back.

Good to know: messages are short notes, not a chat. There's no typing indicator and no "seen" for the sender, and the page doesn't update by itself: open it again to see new ones. Only you see your messages.

No Reply button? You already replied (the message says You replied), the message is itself a reply, or the person who wrote it has left the community.

1. Open Notifications in the menu (on a phone, Alerts in the bottom bar). The number next to it is how many you haven't read.
2. Unread notifications have a coral dot. Press one to open the page it's about; it's marked as read.
3. Press Mark all as read to clear the count.

   

4. Twenty notifications fit on a page, newest first. Under the list, "Showing 1–20 of …" says how many you have; press Next, Previous or a page number for older ones.

Good to know: you can also get these on your phone or computer: see Get alerts on your phone or computer. Email alerts are coming soon.

1. Open Account in the menu.
2. Under Phone and browser alerts, press Turn on alerts on this device. When the browser asks, press Allow.
3. Press Send a test alert to check. It can take a few seconds to show up.

   

4. Under What to send, switch off any kind you don't want on your devices: Invitations, Your slots, Messages, Communities or Feedback.
5. To stop alerts on a device, press Turn off on this device, or the bin next to it under Your devices.

iPhone and iPad: alerts work once Trainly is on your Home Screen (iOS 16.4 or later). In Safari, press Share, then Add to Home Screen, open Trainly from the new icon, sign in, and turn alerts on there.

Good to know: alerts copy your notifications; everything still shows under Notifications. Signing out turns alerts off on that browser, so the next person doesn't get yours. If the card says alerts aren't switched on for this site yet, they're on their way.

1. Press Send feedback at the bottom of the menu, under Help center (on a phone, open ☰ first).
2. Pick what it is: Feature request, Bug or Something else.
3. Give it a short Title and write the Details. For a bug, say what you did, what you expected and what happened, and which phone or browser you use.
4. Press Send feedback. It shows up under Your feedback as New.

   

5. When the team looks at it, its status changes to Planned, Done or Declined, sometimes with a Reply from Trainly. You get a notification each time.

Good to know: only the Trainly team sees what you send, with your Twitch name so we can follow up. If you open Feedback from the menu, the page you were on goes along to help us find the problem; press Leave it out if you'd rather not. You can send up to 10 a day.

1. Open the survey. You can also press Take the survey on the front page, or Raid train survey at the bottom of any public train or community page.
2. Press Start the survey.
3. Answer one question per screen and press Next. Questions that are optional say Skip until you answer them. Back takes you to the question before.

   

4. On the last screen, leave your Twitch name if you want early access or a short chat with us, and tick the box. Leave it empty to stay anonymous. Then press Send my answers.
5. The thank-you screen shows what Trainly already does about the parts you picked as hardest. Press See how it works on a card to open its guide, or Copy the survey link to pass it on.

Good to know: you don't need an account. The survey doesn't use cookies or keep your IP address, and only the Trainly team reads the answers. Your Twitch name is kept only if you tick the box, and we use it only to contact you about the survey and early access.

1. Press Sign out at the bottom of the menu, or on the Account page.

Tip: sign out on shared or public computers. Your profile and communities stay saved; they'll be there next time you sign in.

1. At the bottom of the menu, press the round icon with two arrows next to Sign out (point at it and it says Sign in as another user). On the Account page, press Sign in as another user next to Sign out. You can also just open the Sign in page.

   

2. The Sign in page shows who is signed in on this browser. Press Continue as … to keep going as that person, or Sign in as another user to switch.

   

3. Sign in as another user signs the current person out of this browser, exactly like Sign out (their alerts on this device stop too). The page then says they are signed out and shows the usual sign-in options.
4. Sign in as the other person: Sign in with Twitch, or a test account on test sites (see Sign in to Trainly).

Switching Twitch accounts: after Sign in as another user, Twitch shows its screen instead of signing you straight back in, so you can check which Twitch account it is. Twitch offers the account that is signed in on twitch.tv in this browser. To use a different Twitch account, sign out on twitch.tv first.

1. In the menu, open Account. The Twitch box on the right shows your connection: Connected, Needs reconnecting, Disconnected, or Test account.

   

2. Changed your name or picture on Twitch? Press Sync from Twitch. You'll see "Synced from Twitch". Trainly also syncs every time you sign in. Your Twitch picture shows next to your name in the menu, on Home and in this box; test accounts show the first letter of the name instead.
3. To stop Trainly using your Twitch account, press Disconnect Twitch, then Disconnect Twitch again in the box that asks "Disconnect Twitch?" (or Keep connected to stop). Trainly deletes its Twitch keys, tells Twitch, and signs you out on every device.

Your trains are safe. Disconnecting doesn't remove your communities, invitations or My Trains. Press Sign in with Twitch any time to connect again; your Twitch id never changes, so you get the same account back, even after renaming yourself on Twitch.

It says "Needs reconnecting"? Twitch stopped accepting Trainly's access, for example after you changed your Twitch password or removed Trainly on Twitch. Trainly signs you out when that happens. Press Sign in with Twitch again (or sign in normally) to reconnect. Disconnected, but Twitch couldn't be reached? Trainly still deleted its keys. To be sure, open Twitch › Settings › Connections and remove Trainly there.

1. Open the train (Trains, then the train's name).
2. Find the On Twitch box below the lineup. Each streamer who signed in with Twitch shows Live on Twitch since …, Offline on Twitch, or Unknown.

   

3. Press Check again to ask Twitch again. "Checked at" shows when Twitch was last asked; it can be up to a minute old.
4. You can also spot live members anywhere you see their picture on Members or in a train's lineup: Twitch-live members get a green ring around their picture and a LIVE NOW tag next to their name. This updates by itself about once a minute.
5. Press a live member's picture or name to open their profile. It says how long they've been live (for example Live for 1 h 12 min) and has a Watch on Twitch button that opens their channel in a new tab.

Checked with Twitch, not reported. This box only shows what Twitch says. It is separate from anything a streamer tells the team themselves. Unknown means Twitch didn't answer; it does not mean the streamer is offline. Test accounts and open slots have no Twitch status.

Don't see the box? It only appears on Trainly sites with Twitch sign-in turned on. Test sites, like the demo, don't show it.

1. In the menu, open Create community. Two other ways in: press the Community switcher at the top of the menu and choose Create your own community under your communities, or, if you don't run a community yet, press Create a community on the Run your own train? tip in the menu.
2. Type a Name, for example "Riverside Raiders". Trainly suggests a Code for you; you can change it.
3. Add a short Description so streamers know they found the right place.
4. Choose the Community timezone. New trains start in this timezone, for example America/New_York.
5. Press Create community. You are now its Owner.
6. Right away Trainly asks Create your 1st raid train? Creating a train is easy: press Create my first train and the New train helper opens for your new community. Not ready yet? Press Not now (or Esc). Trainly asks only once.

   

7. Pressed Not now? Until your community has a train, its Overview shows Creating a train is easy under Upcoming trains, with the same Create my first train button. On the Trains page (in the menu), Create a train does the same. Organizers and Owners see it.

   

Good to know: creating your own community doesn't take you out of the ones you joined; you're in all of them and switch with the Community switcher. Don't want the Run your own train? tip? Press its × (Not now) and it stays hidden in that browser; it also goes away once you own a community.

"Already in use"? Another community has that code. Add a word or a number to make yours unique, for example riverside-raiders-tx.

1. Open Overview for your community. Under About you'll find your Join code and your Join link (it looks like …/join/nbhd-raid-train).
2. Press Copy invite message. You get a short, friendly announcement that explains Trainly is our new platform, includes the join link, the three steps (open the link, sign in with Twitch, press Join as Streamer) what to do once in (watch for your invites, Come aboard, timezone, help) and a line for people who run or moderate their own train. Paste it in your Discord channel. Edit the words if you like; keep the link.
3. Prefer just the link? Press Copy join link and send that. People who are signed out are asked to sign in first and then land on your community with the code already filled in.
4. Old school still works: send the Join code and tell people to open Join by invite code in Trainly and type it.
5. When they join, they show up under Members as Streamer.

The message you get (with your community's name, link and your name filled in):

Hey everyone! We're moving our raid trains to Trainly, a new platform built for communities like ours. It's where you'll see every upcoming NBHD Raid Train train, grab an open slot, and get a heads-up when you're up next.

Joining takes a minute:
1. Open https://www.trainlybynbhd.com/join/nbhd-raid-train
2. Sign in with your Twitch account (Trainly only reads your public name and picture; it never raids or chats for you)
3. Press "Join as Streamer" and you're in (helping without streaming? press "Join as Crew")

Once you're in:
- Watch for train invites from NBHD Admin. They show up under Invitations and as a notification; press Accept to lock in your slot.
- Want a specific slot? Open the train and press "Come aboard" on any open slot, and we'll confirm you.
- Set your timezone under Account so every train shows in your local time.
- Need help? Press "Help center" in the menu.

Run your own raid train, or moderate one? You can use Trainly for that too: press "Create community" in the menu, then open "Trains" and press "New train" to set up your lineup and invite your streamers. Step-by-step instructions are in the Help center.

See you on the train!
– NBHD Admin

Good to know: by default anyone with the code or link joins right away. Owners can make people ask first, or stop new members joining, in community rules; the link then shows Ask to join instead.

Point new streamers to Join a community with its code. Want to invite one person by their Twitch name instead? See Invite someone to your community.

1. Open Overview for your community. In the About box, press Edit details.
2. Change the Name (2 to 80 characters) and the Description (up to 2000 characters; line breaks are kept). Leave the description empty if you don't want one.
3. Pick a Timezone: press it, type a city such as London and choose it. New trains start in this timezone.
4. Press Save details. The card at the top of the page, the About box, the menu and the public page show the new details straight away. Cancel leaves everything as it was.

Good to know: trains you already made keep their own timezone, so their times don't move. The join code stays the same; to change it, see Change your join code.

Didn't work? Only Owners see Edit details. "Use at least 2 characters" means the name is too short.

1. Open Overview for your community. Under About, press Change join code.
2. Type the new code in New join code. Use letters, numbers and hyphens, 3 to 48 characters, for example nbhd-sunday-crew. Capital letters are fine; Trainly saves the code in small letters. Under the box you see what your public page address will become.
3. Read the warning, then press Save new code. The new code, the public page address and the join link change straight away.
4. Press Copy join link or Copy invite message and share the new link, for example in Discord.

Good to know: the old code stops working right away. Join links and public page links you shared before (in Discord, on a flyer) no longer open your community, so post the new link. Nobody else can ever take your old code, so old links never lead to another community. You can switch back to one of your own old codes later. Members stay members, and personal invite links you sent by Twitch name keep working.

Didn't work? "That join code is already in use" means another community has it or used it before: add a word or a number. Only Owners see Change join code.

1. Pick your community and open Invite streamers in the menu. You can also press Invite streamers at the top of the community's Overview.
2. In Who do you want to invite?, type two or more letters of their name or Twitch username. You can also paste their channel link, like twitch.tv/pixel_pyre. The list has two parts:
   • On Trainly: people who already use Trainly, with their Twitch picture. Each one says Gets a notification, or Already a member, Invite sent or Asked to join.
   • Not on Trainly yet? The last row, Invite "…" by Twitch name, marked Link only. Use it for anyone who hasn't signed in to Trainly.

   

3. Press the person or the Twitch name. A card under Inviting says how the invite will reach them:
   • On Trainly (green): they get a notification in Trainly right away, plus a link you can share.
   • Link only (blue): Trainly can't reach them yet. You get a personal link to send them in Discord or a Twitch whisper.
   Picked the wrong one? Press Change.

   

   

4. If you like, add a short note in Message (optional). If your community has a Discord channel connected, leave Also post in our Discord channel ticked and Trainly posts the invite there for you.
5. Press Send invite (someone on Trainly) or Create invite link (a Twitch name). A box says … was notified in Trainly or Send this link to …, and shows the link.
6. Send the link the way you like (for someone on Trainly this is optional, they already have the notification):
   • Copy link copies just the link.
   • Copy message for Discord copies a ready-made message with the link. Paste it in a Discord message, a Twitch whisper or anywhere else.
   • Post to Discord posts it in your community's Discord channel (only when one is connected).

   

7. Under Sent invites a table shows every invite and how it's going: Reached by (Notified in Trainly or Link only), Waiting, Joined, Withdrawn or Expired, who invited them and when, when the link expires or when they joined, and whether it was posted to Discord. You get a notification when someone joins.
   • It shows 10 invites at a time. Use Previous, Next or a page number to see more; Showing 1–10 of 24 under the table says where you are.
   • Press All, Waiting, Joined or Withdrawn or expired to see only those invites; each button shows how many there are. To find one person, type their Twitch name in Search by Twitch name.
   • A waiting invite has small buttons at the end of its row. Point at one to see its name: Copy link, Copy message for Discord, Post to Discord and, in red, Withdraw invite. On a phone each invite is a small card and the buttons say Copy link, Message, Post and Withdraw.
   • Changed your mind? Press Withdraw invite and the link stops working. You stay on the same page of the table.

   

Good to know: an invite link works for 14 days and only once. It lets the person in as a Streamer even if your community rules make people ask first or stop new members joining. Someone whose streamer profile is Private isn't in the list: type their Twitch name instead. If they use Trainly they still get the notification, but Reached by says Link only so their account stays private.

Can't find someone in the list? They haven't signed in to Trainly yet, or their streamer profile is set to Private. Type their Twitch username and press the Invite "…" by Twitch name row; the invite works once they sign in. "There's no Twitch account called …"? Check the spelling on their Twitch channel, then press Change and try again. "… already has an open invite"? Type their name in Search by Twitch name under Sent invites and press Copy link on their row, or withdraw it and make a new one. "Not posted to Discord"? The message under it says why; see My invite wasn't posted to Discord. Email invites are coming soon.

1. In Discord, open your server's Server Settings, then Integrations, then Webhooks, and press New Webhook.
2. Open the new webhook, pick the channel invites should go to (for example #raid-train), and press Copy Webhook URL.
3. In Trainly, open your community's Overview and find the Discord channel box. Paste the link into Discord webhook URL.
4. Press Save Discord channel.

   

5. Press Send test message and check that the message appears in your Discord channel.

Good to know: anyone who has the webhook link can post in that channel, so Trainly never shows it again after you save it. You'll only see its last four digits, for example Webhook …4321. Trainly's posts never ping @everyone or anyone else. To use another channel press Replace webhook; to stop posting press Disconnect. If the box says "Test mode", you're on a Trainly test site: posts are recorded but nothing is sent to Discord.

"Paste a Discord webhook URL"? The link must start with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/. A link to a channel or a server invite won't work. "Discord says this webhook no longer exists"? Someone deleted it in Discord. Make a new one and press Replace webhook.

1. Open your community: in the menu, under Communities, press All communities and pick it. Stay on Overview.
2. Find the Community logo box and press Upload logo. Pick a picture from your computer or phone.

   

3. Wait for "Logo saved". The logo now shows on this page, in everyone's communities list and on Home, on your public community and train pages, and on invites.

Tip: a square picture works best (for example 512 × 512). PNG, JPEG or WebP; bigger pictures are shrunk for you. A PNG with a transparent background looks good on the dark screens.

Didn't work? "Use a PNG, JPEG or WebP image" means the file is another type (for example SVG): save it as PNG first. Only Owners see the Community logo box. To go back to the letter, press Remove logo and then Remove logo again to confirm.

1. Open your community: in the menu, under Communities, press All communities and pick it. Stay on Overview.
2. Scroll to the Community banner box and press Upload banner. Pick a wide picture from your computer or phone.

   

3. Wait for "Banner saved". The picture now fills the card at the top of the page, for everyone in the community, and on your public community page.

   

Tip: use a picture about 3 times as wide as it is tall, for example 1500 × 500. Phones show less of the sides, so keep faces and words near the middle. PNG, JPEG or WebP; bigger pictures are shrunk for you. If a picture is small or tall, Trainly tells you under the buttons.

Good to know: until you upload a banner, Trainly makes one from your logo: your logo repeated on a slant over your community color, on this card, on your public page, on your community's card under All communities and on Home. Without a logo, those places show your color and first letter. Once you upload a banner, it shows in all of them.

Didn't work? "Use a PNG, JPEG or WebP image" means the file is another type (for example SVG): save it as JPEG or PNG first. Only Owners see the Community banner box. To go back to the Trainly colors, press Remove banner and then Remove banner again to confirm.

1. Open your community: in the menu, under Communities, press All communities and pick it. Stay on Overview.
2. Scroll to the Community colors box. Press the Main color swatch to open your computer's or phone's color picker, and do the same for the Second color. You can also type a color code such as #7c5cff, or press one of the ready-made pairs under Or pick a pair.

   

3. Check the preview, then press Save colors. Your public pages use the new colors within a minute.

   

Tip: Trainly keeps the text readable whatever you pick: very dark or very light colors are shown a little lighter or darker for words, and the writing on buttons turns white or dark to match. Press Open the public page to see it for real.

Good to know: only Owners see the Community colors box. Inside Trainly, pages keep Trainly's colors. To go back to coral and amber, press Use Trainly's colors.

1. Pick your community and open Overview. Find the Community rules box.
2. Under Who can join with the community code, pick one:
   • Anyone with the code joins right away (the default).
   • Anyone with the code can ask; a Moderator or above approves. See Approve join requests.
   • Nobody can join right now. People who look up your code are told you're not accepting new members.
3. Under Who can send invitations, pick Moderators, Organizers and Owners or Organizers and Owners only.
4. Under Who can find this community, pick Listed on Trainly (the default: it shows on the front page, in Find a community and in Discover) or Only people with the link or code. Hidden communities keep their public page, join link and code; their members still see them.
5. Press Save rules. You'll see "Community rules saved".

   

Good to know: members you pick as event moderators on a train can always invite streamers for that train, whatever this rule says. Personal invite links let people in even when joining needs approval or nobody can join; Who can send invitations also decides who may make them. Hiding can take up to a minute to show on the public lists.

1. You get a notification, "… asked to join …". Open it, or open Members in the menu.
2. Under Join requests, press Approve to add the person as a Streamer, or Decline.

   

3. The person gets a notification either way. Someone you declined can ask again later.

1. Pick your community, open Trains in the menu and press New train. Changed your mind? Every step has a Cancel button that leaves without saving anything. In a community with no train yet, Create my first train on its Overview does the same.
2. Basics: type a Title (for example "NBHD Sunday Train"), pick the First date and the Start time (wall clock): the time as people in that timezone would read it on their clock, for example 9:00 AM. Check the Event timezone. Press Next.

   

3. Slots: choose the Number of slots and the Slot duration (minutes), for example 7 slots of 60 minutes. The Preview lists every slot's time. Press Next.

   

4. Recurrence: leave it as One-off, or make it repeat (see Make it repeat weekly). Press Next.

   

5. Review and create: add Guidelines for streamers if you have any and check the summary. Press Create draft train for a one-off train, or Create series if it repeats.

   

Your train starts as a draft. Only moderators and above, and the streamers you invite or reserve a slot for, can see it until you publish it. That gives you time to build the lineup first, and nobody asks to come aboard before you're ready.

Want members to take slots themselves? On the first step, under Train type, pick Open to members. The train skips the draft: every member sees it right away and takes an open slot without an invitation, and the last button says Create open train (how it works).

Tip: use Back to change an earlier step. Nothing is saved until the last button.

1. Open Trains, press New train and, under Train type, pick Open to members.

   

2. Fill in the other steps as for any train. On Review and create, the visibility is Private: only members of your community see the train, and it isn't on your public pages. Press Create open train, or Create open series if it repeats.
3. That's it: there is nothing to publish. The train page says Open to members next to the title, and members see Take this slot on every open slot (what they see).
4. Each time a member takes a slot, you get a notification, for example "Pixel Pyre took slot #2 of Saturday Spotlight". The slot shows their name and Confirmed.
5. You can still work on the lineup like on any train: reserve a slot for someone, invite a streamer, or lock a slot so nobody can take it (lineup guide).

Want a public page later? Press Edit details and choose Public or Unlisted under Visibility (what they mean). Members can still take open slots. Unpublish turns it back into a draft: then only the people you invited or reserved see it until you publish it again.

Tip: each member can hold one slot per train, first come, first served. Breaks, locked slots and slots that have started can't be taken.

1. In the New train helper, go to the Recurrence step.
2. Under Repeat, choose how often: Weekly, Biweekly (every two weeks), Monthly, or Custom for your own pattern.
3. For weekly trains, tick the day under On these weekdays, for example Sunday.
4. Set How many occurrences to create now, for example 4 for the next four Sundays. You can create up to 52.
5. Check the Preview: it lists every date and its start time.

   

Clocks changing? Trainly keeps your train at the same time on the clock, for example always 9:00 AM, even when daylight saving time starts or ends. In the preview you'll see the time-zone letters change (for example EDT to EST). If a train itself runs through the moment the clocks change, that date is marked "DST" so you can double-check.

Good to know: each date becomes its own train with its own lineup. You can change one Sunday without touching the others. The series is listed under Recurring trains on the Trains page.

1. Open Trains, then press the series name under Recurring trains. You can also press recurring series at the top of any of its trains.
2. Trains in this series lists every date. A date marked Edited on its own or Skipped no longer follows the series.

   

3. To change every upcoming date: under Edit the whole series, change the title, description, guidelines, visibility or start time, then press Save for upcoming trains. A green message says how many trains changed.

   

4. To change one date only: open that train and use Edit details. It becomes Edited on its own, and later changes to the whole series leave it alone.
5. To skip one date: open that train and press Cancel train. It shows as Skipped, and adding more dates never brings it back.
6. To add dates: pick a number under How many more dates and press Add trains. New dates follow the schedule and start as drafts.

Why didn't the start time change on a published train? A new start time only moves drafts. Published trains keep the time streamers already accepted. To move one, unpublish it, change it with Edit details, then publish it again.

1. Open the train. Right below the Lineup you'll find Flyer and lineup command.
2. Press Add a flyer and pick an image. PNG, JPEG and WebP work. Trainly shrinks big images to fit 2 MB before uploading. Use Replace flyer or Remove flyer to change it later.
3. Your flyer is also the picture on the train's card: on Trains, Home and My Trains, and for Public trains on Find a raid train and your community's public page. Without a flyer, the card shows your community's banner (or a pattern of your logo).

   

4. No flyer of your own? Press Download flyer right under the Flyer: Trainly draws a flyer of the train and its lineup in the size you pick (more). Everyone in the community has the same button. Or pick Use as train flyer in that menu to make the generated square flyer the train's flyer in one press.
5. Press Add lineup command. Type the text streamers should paste into their chat, or press Fill from lineup to start from the current lineup in the train's timezone, then edit it. Want one line per stop with Twitch links instead? Use Generate lineup command.
6. Press Save command. Streamers see it with a Copy command button. Press Edit any time to change it, and save an empty box to remove it.

Good to know: the lineup command doesn't update itself when the lineup changes. Press Edit, then Fill from lineup again after big changes. A draft train's flyer is only visible to moderators and above, and the streamers you invited or reserved, until you publish. Visitors see a train's flyer on cards only while its public page is open to them (Public and Unlisted trains, once published); a Private train's flyer stays inside your community.

1. Open the train. In Flyer and lineup command, under Lineup command, press Generate lineup command.

   

2. Check Word for the streamers. It starts as DJ, as in "Raid Train DJ Lineup!" and "follow all the DJs". Type another word, such as streamer, and the text is written again with it. Trainly remembers your word for this community on this browser.
3. Read the text in the box and change anything you like. It starts with your community's name and the train's date, then the header with the train's time zone, one line per stop with its start time and Twitch.tv/ link, a thank-you line and the Trainly footer.
4. Press Copy lineup and paste it where you post. Or press Save as lineup command to make it the train's lineup command, so every member can copy it with Copy command (it replaces the one there). Press Close when you're done.

Good to know: times are in the train's time zone. Only confirmed streamers are named: invited, reserved and requested stops show as open slot, and breaks are left out. The text is in English whatever language Trainly shows, like Trainly's chat commands; edit it freely. A short one-word community name such as NBHD is written in boxed letters (🅽🅱️🅷🅳). The text doesn't update itself when the lineup changes: generate it again after changes.

Didn't work? The counter under the box shows characters used out of 500. Twitch chat and the lineup command take 500 at most (an emoji counts as 2), so a long lineup turns the counter red, shows a warning and switches off Save as lineup command: remove lines or shorten the text before you post it in Twitch chat. Discord takes longer posts. Twitch chat puts the whole text on one line. If Copy lineup says to select the text, press and hold (or press Ctrl+C) in the box to copy it yourself.

1. Open the train. The Lineup is the route on the train's flyer: each stop is one slot, with the streamer's picture, the time and who is in it. A coral number on each picture is the slot number.
2. To put someone in an open slot, press Reserve streamer… on that stop. A window opens with the members of your community: type part of a name or Twitch name in the search box, then press the streamer. That one person gets the slot and the window closes. Next to it, Invite opens the invitations page.

   

   

3. Every other change is in the slot's ⋯ button (Manage slot). It opens a menu, or a sheet at the bottom of a phone:
   • Send message writes to the streamer on that stop (more).
   • Move up and Move down move the slot one place.
   • Swap with trades places with any other slot.
   • Reserve for… opens the same window to change who a reserved slot is held for, and Release empties it. Invited or confirmed slots are changed from Invitations, so the streamer is told.
   • Lock slot keeps a slot from being changed by mistake; Unlock slot allows changes again. A locked stop shows a yellow lock.
   • Remove slot deletes the slot.
   Greyed-out items say why they can't be used right now.
4. To change a slot's length, use the length chip (for example 1 h) next to ⋯. On a phone it's in the ⋯ sheet as Length.
5. To add a slot or a break, use Add a stop at the end of the route: choose Stream slot or Break, its length and its position, then press Add.

   

   The position decides where the time goes:
   • At the end adds the stop after the last one. The train ends later; every other stop keeps its time.
   • At the start adds the stop before the first one. The train starts earlier by the stop's length (a 30 min stop on a 9:00 train makes it start at 8:30); every other stop keeps its time, locked stops too. When you pick it, the screen says how much earlier the train will start.
   • After #2 (and so on) puts the stop in the middle, so every stop after it moves later by its length.

"Someone else changed this lineup"? Another organizer edited it at the same moment. Press Reload lineup to see their change, then make yours again. Trainly never silently overwrites someone else's work.

"Adding this stop at the start would make the train start in the past"? The train starts too soon for a stop that long. Pick a shorter length, or add the stop at another position.

"This change would move locked slot"? A stop added in the middle pushes the stops after it later, and a locked stop can't move. Unlock that stop, or add the new one At the start or At the end, which never moves other stops.

Can't add a streamer? Each streamer can only be in one slot per train, and locked slots can't be moved. Unlock the slot first.

Release and Remove are greyed out? Someone was invited to that slot or already confirmed it. Use Withdraw or Replace on the Invitations page instead, so the streamer is told. A streamer who came aboard or accepted a reserved slot can also free it themselves with Can't make it? › Give up my slot (how); ask them if you need the slot back. If they sent a Heads-up, you'll see it on their stop.

Missed the notification? A reserved or invited stop shows Ask again next to "waiting for an answer". Press it to send the streamer the same notification again as a reminder (for an invitation it's the same as Resend on the Invitations page). Nothing in the lineup changes. Already said yes in chat? Press Confirm for them instead (guide).

Reserve or invite? Reserve for… puts a streamer in the slot and tells them straight away, on a draft too: they can see the train and accept or decline the slot. When you publish a draft, everyone still holding a reserved slot gets a reminder. To send a request with a deadline and a message, invite them. Streamers can also ask for open slots themselves.

1. Open the train. A reserved or invited stop says "waiting for an answer" and shows Confirm for them next to Ask again.

   

2. Press Confirm for them. Trainly asks first, because you're answering for the streamer: only do it if they already said yes.
3. Press Confirm for them in the window. The stop turns Confirmed, with "Confirmed by" and your name under it. If it was an invitation, the invitation is marked accepted too.
4. The streamer gets a notification. The slot now shows on the flyer and lineup image, in the lineup command and on the public page.

Good to know: the same rules apply as when the streamer accepts: the train must still be taking answers, the slot can't have started, and the streamer can't already have a confirmed train at that time. The streamer can still withdraw like from any confirmed slot.

1. Open a draft or published train and press Fill from a list in Organizer tools.
2. Paste the streamers in the order they go on, one per line. A Twitch username (djnova), @djnova, a twitch.tv/djnova link or a member's display name all work. Numbers and bullets at the start of a line are ignored, so a numbered list pastes as it is. Then press Check the lineup.
3. Check the lineup Trainly made. Each name gets the next open slot, with its time. Use the ˄ and ˅ arrows to change the order, and ✕ to take a name off the list; the slots follow straight away. Each row also says when a name can't get a slot:

   

   • No open slot left: the list is longer than the open slots. Tick Add … slots at the end to add stream slots of the train's usual length for them.
   • Not in this community yet: only members can get a slot. Invite them by their Twitch name first, then reserve their slot.
   • Already in this train, Already invited to pick a slot or Already on this list: they keep what they have; nobody gets two slots.
   • On another train at that time: with invitations, that slot goes to the next name instead; with reserved slots, they still get it and can decline.
   • Crew, doesn't stream and Not a Twitch username or member are left out. Check the spelling.
4. Choose what happens to each slot: Send invitations (each streamer gets an invitation for their slot and answers it from Invitations) or Reserve slots (each slot is held for its streamer, who is told and can accept or decline it on the train page). With invitations you can press Add a note to every invitation.
5. Press Send … invitations or Reserve … slots. Everything happens in one go, and only then is anyone told. The lineup shows the new streamers right away.

Good to know: nothing is sent while you check, reorder or switch between invitations and reserved slots. Locked slots, breaks and slots that already started are skipped. Pressing the button twice, or pasting the same list again later, never sends anyone a second invitation: they're already in the train. Up to 100 names at a time. Sending invitations needs the right to invite streamers; reserving slots only needs to edit the lineup.

"Someone else changed this lineup while you were checking it"? Another organizer changed the train at the same moment. The window now shows the lineup as it is: check it and press the button again.

Prefer to place streamers one at a time? See Build the lineup.

1. Open the train. The badge at the top shows its status, for example Draft.
2. Press Publish when the lineup is ready. The badge changes to Published.

   

3. Need to hide it again while you fix something? Press Unpublish; it goes back to a draft.
4. If the train won't happen, press Cancel train and confirm. Streamers who saw it will see it as canceled, so nobody shows up by mistake.

Tip: build the lineup while the train is a draft, then publish. Streamers see one finished schedule instead of many changes.

Draft or published? A draft is invite-only: you can invite streamers or reserve slots for them, and they're told, see the train and answer, but nobody else in the community sees it or can ask for a slot. Publish it when you want an open train that everyone sees and anyone can ask to come aboard. Unpublishing puts it back to invite-only; streamers already invited, reserved or confirmed still see it.

1. Open the train. In Organizer tools, press Archive train. You can archive a draft, a canceled train or a train that is over. A train that hasn't happened yet is canceled first (Cancel train), so its streamers are told.

   

2. Confirm with Archive train. Nobody is notified. The page now says Archived and when.
3. To find it again, open Trains and press Archived (Moderators and above see this tab).

   

4. Changed your mind? Open the train and press Restore train. It comes back exactly as it was: a draft stays a draft, a published train is published again.

Good to know: archived trains keep their lineup and history. Only the Archived tab lists them, and only Moderators and above can open them.

1. Open the train and press Edit details. You can also set it when you create the train with New train.
2. Pick a Visibility:
   • Public: anyone with the link can see the lineup, and the train is listed on your community page.
   • Unlisted: anyone with the link can see the lineup; it is not listed anywhere.
   • Private: only members of your community can see it. There is no public page.
3. Press Save details. The Public page box on the train tells you what applies now.

Good to know: drafts never have a public page, whatever their visibility. Publish first, then share the link. Switching a train to Private stops an old link from working.

1. Invite on a draft or a published train. On a draft, only the streamers you invite can see the train, so you can fill the lineup quietly and publish later (see Publish).
2. Open the train and press Invitations at the top.
3. On an open slot, press Invite streamer…, then press Choose a member… and pick a name (type a name or Twitch username to find someone fast). Names that can't be picked are greyed out and say why: already invited, already in this train, or busy at that time (they accepted another train that overlaps, maybe in another community).
4. Add a Message and an Answer by date if you like. Without a date, the invitation stays open until the slot starts.
5. Press Send invitation. The streamer gets a notification and the slot shows their name as Pending.

   

Tip: to fill many slots fast, press Invite the whole roster. Every Streamer member without a slot gets an invitation to pick an open slot; the first to accept a slot gets it.

Privacy: "busy at that time" never says which train or community the streamer is in.

Inviting the whole roster on a draft? Everyone who gets an invitation can see the train, so a roster-wide invitation on a draft shows it to every Streamer member. They still can't come aboard until you publish.

"This train can no longer take invitations"? The train is live, completed or canceled. Invitations work on drafts and published trains only.

"Already has an active invitation"? That person was already invited to this train. Use Resend on their slot instead.

1. Open the train and press Invitations.
2. The boxes at the top count confirmed slots, invitations waiting for an answer, open slots, and invitations that were declined or expired.

   

3. Each slot shows who it's for: Pending with how long they have to answer and how many times it was sent, or Confirmed with when they answered.
4. No answer yet? Press Resend to notify them again. To take the invitation back, press Withdraw; the slot opens and the streamer is told.
5. History at the bottom lists every invitation, including declined ones and the notes streamers left.

Tip: you also get a notification each time someone accepts, declines or withdraws. Press it to jump to this page.

1. Open the train and press Invitations. A slot that opened up says Open slot, with who left it and why (for example Declined and their note).
2. Press Fill vacancy…, choose a member, then press Send invitation. The new invitation is marked replacement.
3. To swap out someone who is still pending or confirmed (for example a last-minute change), press Replace on their slot, choose the new member and send. The first streamer is told their slot was withdrawn.

   

Good to know: the old invitation and the new one change together, so the slot is never given to two people.

1. Open the train (the notification "… wants to come aboard" links to it). Scroll to Come aboard requests: each row shows who asked, which slot, and their message.

   

2. Press Accept to put that streamer on the slot. It becomes Confirmed right away (no invitation to wait for), and any other request for the same slot is declined for you.
3. Press Decline to say no, with an optional note. The streamer is told and can ask for another slot.
4. Earlier requests at the bottom keeps the ones already decided.

Tip: a request never blocks you. You can still Reserve for… or invite someone for that slot; the request then can only be declined. If a train is canceled, open requests close by themselves and the streamers are told.

Reserved slots now ask the streamer. When you Reserve for… a slot on a published train, the streamer gets a notification and answers with Accept slot or Decline. You're told either way; a declined slot opens again.

1. Open the train and press Edit details.
2. Change the Title, Description or Guidelines for streamers.
3. Press Save details.

Good to know: the date, time and timezone can only be changed while the train is a draft. Unpublish it first if you need to move a published train.

Part of a repeating train? Saving here marks this date as Edited on its own; changes to the whole series will leave it alone. See Change a repeating train.

1. Open the train and find Event moderators, next to About this train. The train's event moderators come first, ticked, followed by a few other members.
2. Tick a member to make them an event moderator, or untick them to take it back. Each tick saves straight away and you see Event moderators updated.

   

3. Can't see the person? Press See all members (the number is how many members you can pick from). Type part of their name or Twitch name in the search box and tick them there. A long list shows 25 people a page, with Previous and Next at the bottom. Press Close or the Esc key when you're done: the card then lists the new event moderators first. On a phone the list fills the screen.

Good to know: only organizers and owners see the tick boxes. Everyone else sees who the event moderators are, and a See all moderators button when there are more than eight. Organizers and owners already edit every lineup, so they are not in the list.

See what each role can do in Roles and permissions.

1. Pick your community, then open Members in the menu, or press the Members tab on the community's page. The tab shows how many members the community has (for example Members 12).

   

2. Looking for someone? Type part of their name or Twitch name in Search by name or Twitch name above the list. Capital letters don't matter, and @name or a twitch.tv/name link works too. The list shows 25 members a page: use Previous, Next or the page numbers under it. If nobody matches, press Clear search.
3. You'll see each member's picture, name, Twitch username, role and the date they joined. Members who signed in with Twitch show their Twitch picture; test accounts show the first letter of their name.
4. Press a member's picture or name to open their profile: their bio, category, language, typical stream length, when they joined and, for Twitch accounts, Open Twitch channel. Press Close to go back.
5. Members who are live on Twitch right now have a green ring and a LIVE NOW tag. Their profile shows how long they've been live and Watch on Twitch instead of Open Twitch channel (live on Twitch).

Good to know: a profile set to Private on Streamer profile shows only its name, Twitch name, role and join date; Organizers and Owners of the community still see all of it. Your time zone and availability never appear there. Only Owners can change roles, and only Moderators and above see the people waiting to join at the top (join requests).

1. Pick your community with the Community button, then open Trains in the menu. From the community's Overview, All trains under Upcoming trains goes there too.

   

2. Press Upcoming for what's next, All for every train including past ones, and (Moderators and above) Drafts. Times are in your timezone, and a train that is running right now says Live now. Press Past for the trains that are over, most recent first, 20 a page; their cards say Ended.
3. Press a train to open its page.

Good to know: Streamers see published trains; Moderators and above also see drafts. Organizers get a New train button on the page. The community page itself has Overview and Members.

1. Open Members in the menu.
2. In the Role column, pick the new role for that person. It is saved right away and you'll see "… is now …". They get a notification.

   

Good to know: see Roles and permissions for what each role can do. You can't change your own role, and a community always keeps at least one Owner; ask another Owner if you want to step down.

1. Open Members. Find the person (the search box helps) and press the Remove button with the person icon, next to their role.
2. Pick Remove from community, or Remove and ban to keep them out. For a ban you can add a reason; only Owners see it.
3. They are out straight away: they can no longer open the community, its member list or its trains. Their stops on trains still to come become open slots, and their invitations, requests to come aboard and swap requests are closed. Past trains still show them.
4. Banned people are listed under Banned on Members. Press Unban to let them join again.

Good to know: someone who was only removed can join again with your join code or link, like anyone else. Someone who is banned can't join with the code, ask to join, or use an invite link, and you can't send them a new invite until you unban them. Unbanning doesn't make them a member; they join again themselves. To stop everyone from joining for a while, use community rules, or change your join code.

Didn't work? Only Owners can remove or ban. You can't remove yourself, and a community always keeps at least one Owner.

1. Open the train and scroll down to History.
2. Press Show history. The newest change is at the top, with who made it and when, in your timezone.

   

3. Repeating trains have a history too, on the series page: series edits, added dates and each date's own changes.
