Raid alerts can play their clip now

Incoming Twitch raids can play a public clip from the raider's channel on your Dynamic alert. Name and viewer count still show if they have no clips.

Takeaway

We just added this to Dynamic alerts: when someone raids you on Twitch, the overlay can play a public clip from their channel instead of only a name and a viewer count. You describe it in Element Builder the same way you describe a sub alert. If they have no clips, the name and the count still show. It is out now.

The clip, then the fallback

When the raid lands, StreamChum looks up a public clip on their Twitch channel and hands it to the overlay. Featured first, if they pinned one. Then a recent popular clip. Then their most-viewed. Tiny clips get skipped when a longer one exists. The alert stays up long enough to play it.

  • A featured clip, if they marked one.
  • Else a recent high-view clip from the last month.
  • Else their all-time most viewed.
  • No public clips: hide the video, keep the name and the viewer count.

Ask for it like any other alert

This is the same Element Builder you already use for subs and follows. Say you want a raid alert that plays their Twitch clip. It can match the rest of the pack. Setup lives in the overlays guide.

This is incoming Twitch raids. YouTube and Kick raids still fire the usual alert fields. The clip has to be public on their channel.

Build it in Elements. Drop the URL on a Studio scene the same way as any other overlay.

Go live everywhere. Run the desk from one place.

Connect Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, go live from StreamChum Studio, then run the rest of the show from one desk.
