What chat settings do you turn off for a raid train?

Disable emote-only, follower-only, and subscriber-only chat during your slot. All three block incoming raiders from chatting, which defeats the purpose of receiving the raid. Turn them off before the train reaches you and leave them off for your whole slot.

Why do you disable auto-reconnect in OBS for a raid train?

If OBS or Streamlabs auto-reconnects after you raid out and end your stream, it can pull you back online and break the chain or create a duplicate stream. Turn auto-reconnect off so your raid-out cleanly ends your broadcast.

How punctual do you need to be in a raid train?

Be live and ready before your slot starts, and raid out on time. A train runs on a fixed schedule; going long steals the next streamer's time and going live late means viewers are raided into a starting-soon screen and leave.

What happens if you raid the wrong channel?

Raiding the wrong channel derails the order and can strand the audience on someone not expecting it. Always double-check the next channel name in the schedule before you run the /raid command.

Do you need Discord for a raid train?

Most organized trains coordinate through Discord and require you to link your Twitch to your Discord profile (with 'display on profile' on) so the host can verify participants. Smaller trains among friends may skip it.

Can you get removed from a raid train?

Yes. No-showing, raiding out late or to the wrong channel, leaving restrictive chat modes on, or ignoring the train's rules will usually get you dropped from future trains. Reliability is the whole currency of a raid-train community.
