Connect channels

Every platform and device you run lives under Settings, Channels. Connect a stream platform first. Studio, the OBS plugin, Stream Deck, Discord, and Ko-fi sit on the same page.

Twitch, YouTube, Kick

1. Open the StreamChum app and go to Settings, Channels.
2. Click Connect on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick and finish the platform's OAuth screen.
3. Confirm the channel name looks right, then enable it as a go-live destination so Studio (or the OBS plugin) includes it.
4. Repeat for the other platforms you stream to. You can run one, two, or all three.

Mod actions in Live Center stay on the platform they came from. A Twitch timeout is a Twitch timeout. Connecting a platform is what makes that action possible.

Discord bot

Connect Discord under Settings, Channels. StreamChum installs a bot that posts go-live pings, shout-outs, and timers you configure, and answers /live, /schedule, /recent, /recap, and /link. It never reads Discord chat. You can also add the bot from Discord's App Directory.

1. Add StreamChum from Discord's App Directory, or skip this and start from Settings.
2. Open Settings, Channels and click Connect on Discord.
3. Pick the server. Grant View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links.
4. If the StreamChum bot is already in that server, still click Connect so this workspace is linked.
5. Pick a default text channel for go-live and event posts. Slash commands work in the server after that.

If someone added the bot from Discord's App Directory first, slash commands reply with a login link until you Connect in StreamChum. They do not read Discord chat either way. Members who run Chat Tools from Discord can /link their Twitch (Discord User Settings, Connections) so points and other Memory match Twitch chat. That link is global across StreamChum workspaces. /unlink in any connected server removes it everywhere.

Other connections

• Studio: sign in from Studio itself. The Channels page shows when the desktop app is paired.
• OBS plugin: download it, install it, then pair from this same page. Compatibility path only.
• Stream Deck: create a scoped token here, then add the StreamChum plugin from the Elgato Marketplace.
• Ko-fi: connect so tips and shop events can fire alerts, Actions, and overlays.

Friends (Twitch watch list)

Settings, Friends is a list of other Twitch channels, not yours. Add up to 25. When someone on that list goes live, StreamChum fires a Watched streamer went live event. Events and Actions can post Discord, chat, or overlays. YouTube and Kick watch lists are not in this version. Your own go-live still uses the Stream started event.

1. Open Settings, Friends. Search for a Twitch channel and add it.
2. Connect Discord under Settings, Channels if you want a server ping. StreamChum does not read Discord chat.
3. On Friends, pick a Discord text channel and add the go-live event, or wire Events and Actions yourself.

If a platform shows an error after a password change or revoked app, use Reconnect. YouTube chat can pause when Google's API quota is exhausted. It retries on its own.
