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.

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.
• Discord: connect for outbound go-live pings and shout-outs. StreamChum does not read Discord chat.
• Ko-fi: connect so tips and shop events can fire alerts, Actions, and overlays.

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.
