YouTube Livestream Giveaway Picker
YouTube Live Chat Picker is a free tool for running giveaways and contests during YouTube livestreams and selecting winners from live chat messages.
We only support giveaways from chat messages during active YouTube livestreams, not from chat replays.
Only messages posted after capturing starts are included, not the full chat history. Start capturing as soon as the livestream begins to include all chat messages.
To start, add the link to your YouTube livestream, choose YouTube & giveway settings, start capturing messages and pick a random winner.
