+This topic carries every audience queue event: queue lifecycle changes and member changes. The audience queue backs the chatbot's [Viewer Queue](/chatbot/modules/viewerqueue) module and the `!queue` command.
+
+## Payload
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `room` | `string` | Channel ID |
+| `data.event` | `string` | Event type (e.g., `queue.created`) |
+| `data.payload` | `object` | Event-specific payload data |
+
+## Example
+
+```json
+{
+    "id": "01KC4840ZZ1BAMK5R2V9QX9BNA",
+    "ts": "2026-08-30T14:30:00Z",
+    "type": "message",
+    "topic": "channel.chatbot.audiencequeue",
+    "room": "577c0455f9a31ea72a36b2b3",
+    "data": {
+        "event": "member.enqueued",
+        "payload": {}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Events
+
+### Queue Events
+
+| Event | Description |
+| ----- | ----------- |
+| `queue.created` | A queue was opened |
+| `queue.updated` | Queue settings changed, or the queue was paused or resumed |
+| `queue.deleted` | The queue was closed |
+
+#### queue.created
+
+```json
+{
+    "event": "queue.created",
+    "payload": {
+        "isSuspended": false,
+        "title": "Viewer games",
+        "audienceMemberGroups": ["subscriber", "vip"],
+        "maxQueueSize": 25,
+        "createdAt": "2026-08-30T14:30:00Z",
+        "updatedAt": "2026-08-30T14:30:00Z",
+        "statusChangeLog": [
+            {
+                "timeStamp": "2026-08-30T14:30:00Z",
+                "status": "opened"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The payload is an [AudienceQueue](#audiencequeue) object.
+
+#### queue.updated
+
+Same payload as `queue.created`, with the current queue state. When the queue is paused or resumed, `isSuspended` changes and a new entry appears in `statusChangeLog`.
+
+#### queue.deleted
+
+```json
+{
+    "event": "queue.deleted",
+    "payload": null
+}
+```
+
+The payload is always `null`.
+
+### Member Events
+
+| Event | Description |
+| ----- | ----------- |
+| `member.enqueued` | A member joined the queue |
+| `member.selected` | A member was selected, by hand or at random |
+| `member.removed` | A member was removed from the queue or the selection |
+
+All member events carry an [AudienceQueueMember](#audiencequeuemember) payload:
+
+```json
+{
+    "event": "member.enqueued",
+    "payload": {
+        "id": "12345678",
+        "username": "viewer123",
+        "displayName": "Viewer123",
+        "watchTime": 340,
+        "audienceGroups": ["subscriber"],
+        "position": 4
+    }
+}
+```
+
