Blerp’s Auctions and Votes are interactive features that let your viewers engage with your stream in real time. Using Bits or Beets, your audience can bid in auctions or vote on decisions, adding more fun, control, and connection to your content.
This guide walks you through how to set up both Blerp Auctions and Blerp Votes on your stream.
Blerp Auctions
Auctions let viewers place bids using Bits or Beets. The highest bidder wins, and those who don’t win get refunded. You also have the option to issue credits for use on other Blerp features.
Auction Ideas
- On-stream shoutout: Auction off a personal shoutout to the winner.
- Name my character: Let the winner choose the name of your in-game character.
- Join me on stream: Give the winner a chance to hop on your stream live.
