Twitch, Kick and YouTube go-live alerts

1. 1Turn on the Stream alerts module and open it in the dashboard.
2. 2Click New channel at the top.
3. 3Pick the Platform: Twitch, Kick or YouTube.
4. 4Under Streamer, type the name and pick the channel from the list. Twitch searches by name. On Kick type the channel name, and on YouTube the @handle or a channel link.
5. 5Change the Message if you like, and pick Post in channel.
6. 6Click Save & close.

The channel shows up under Followed channels, with a Live badge while they stream. The ⋮ menu next to it has Edit and Remove. With many, you can search the list.

• Update viewers and picture while live: the post gets a new viewer count and picture at least every 10 minutes while the stream runs.
• Delete the post when the stream ends: instead of turning into "was live", the post is deleted.

The message starts as "🔴 {name} is live on {platform}!" in the server’s language. You can change it, up to 500 characters, and use these placeholders, which you can also click in below the field:

• {name} the streamer’s name
• {title} the stream title
• {game} the game or category (not on YouTube)
• {url} link to the channel, and on YouTube to the stream itself
• {platform} Twitch, Kick or YouTube

The bot pings nobody, not even roles or @everyone written in the text.

• The bot checks Twitch and Kick every minute, so the post arrives shortly after the stream starts.
• YouTube is checked every 2 minutes. YouTube limits how much the bot may ask per day, so when many YouTube channels are followed across all servers, checks are spread a little further apart. /stream add tells you how often it is right now.
• The post shows the title, game, viewer count, a picture from the stream and a Watch stream button. YouTube has no game, so that field is left out.
• If the streamer changes title or game, the post is updated. Viewers and picture are refreshed at least every 10 minutes.
• When the stream ends, the post turns into "name was live" with how long the stream lasted. The bot waits for two checks in a row without a stream, so a short drop does not count as the end.
• If the same stream comes back, the post is set back to live instead of being posted again.

The commands need the Manage Server permission.

• A server can follow up to 25 streamers.
• The bot needs View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links in the alert channel.
• Posts are written in the language the bot uses on your server.
