How To Initiate A Raid
To start a raid, copy the URL of the live stream you want to send your viewers to.
As the channel owner or a moderator, enter the chat command /raid into the chat box:
....and paste the URL into the chat and hit enter. That's it!
Please note that URLs of Rumble live streams will be accepted and you can currently only do one raid per live stream, and other creators have the option of disabling their channels from being raided. If any of those conditions are not met you will get an error message.
Once you submit the raid you will get a confirmation. Once confirmed, the Raid will be initiated.
Once the Raid is initiated, all viewers in your live chat will see a prompt alerting them to the raid. Viewers currently have to opt-in to the raid by hitting the "join" button and a countdown is initiated.
While the countdown is happening a viewer can opt-out. Once the countdown is over and if the user opt-ed in, they will automatically be redirected to the raided stream. If they did not opt-in before the countdown, they can still click the join button to move to the new stream.
Being Raided
If you are a viewer in a live stream that is being raided, a notification will display near the top of the chat box and a message will display in the chat:
