To start a prediction on Twitch as a mod on mobile, open the channel you moderate in the Twitch app, enter Mod View, and locate the Predictions widget in the left-hand dock. From there, you can create a new prediction with outcomes and a voting period directly from your phone.
How to start a prediction on Twitch as a mod on mobile
The documented mobile path for starting a prediction on Twitch as a mod on mobile is through Mod View inside the iOS or Android Twitch app. To access it, open the channel you moderate and enter Mod View from the moderator callout or the channel’s chat settings. Once in Mod View, find the Predictions widget in the left-hand dock. Use this widget to create a new prediction or manage an existing one. If needed, tap the 3 vertical dots on the widget to pop it out or move it into the grid with other widgets. If this is your first time setting up predictions, you may need to enable the feature by tapping an 'Enable Predictions' button.
What a Twitch moderator can and cannot do with predictions
A moderator can create and manage predictions, but if that moderator participates in the prediction with channel points, they lose the ability to manage or resolve that prediction. A moderator who has voted cannot manage or resolve that same prediction. Twitch also notes that moderators can cast predictions, so the role is not limited to viewers-only interaction. A prediction can have between two and ten outcomes, and a voting period length is chosen when it is started.
Using the /prediction chat command on mobile
Twitch documents that moderators can start predictions with the chat command /prediction directly in chat, which works when using Twitch on mobile as an alternative to the Mod View widget. This command lets you launch a prediction without navigating through the Mod View interface.
Managing predictions once they are live
Once a prediction is live, you can resolve, cancel, or lock it using the Predictions widget in Mod View.
What to do if the Predictions widget is missing
If you cannot find it on mobile at all, the desktop alternative is to go to Creator Dashboard, open Stream Manager, under Quick Actions click the + icon, and add Start a Prediction. The non-mobile path: Go to Creator Dashboard, open Stream Manager, under Quick Actions click +, and add Start a Prediction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start a prediction on Twitch as a mod if I am not in Mod View?
Yes, you can use the /prediction chat command directly in the chat window without entering Mod View, as long as you are a moderator in that channel.
What happens if I vote on a prediction I created as a mod?
If you vote with channel points on a prediction you created or manage, you immediately lose the ability to manage or resolve that specific prediction. Other moderators who did not vote can still manage it.
Can viewers see who created a prediction on mobile?
The prediction appears in chat with the question and outcomes, but the moderator who started it is not typically highlighted.
How do I end a prediction early on mobile?
Open the Predictions widget in Mod View, find the active prediction, and use the available options to resolve or cancel it.
Is there a limit to how many predictions I can run at once?
The documented limits are 2 to 10 outcomes per prediction and the rule that a moderator who votes loses management rights for that prediction.
