Announcing Twitch lives

Twitch alerts announce in a channel when a member of your server starts a live on Twitch: their message, their game and the link to join.

Set up the alerts

Type +twitch. The Make a selection menu sets:

• Turn on/off alerts: off by default;
• Channel: where alerts are posted;
• Change the streamer roles: only members with one of these roles are announced. With no role, every member is;
• Edit the message: the alert's text. The default one is in French ({MemberMention} est en live: {LiveLink}): write your own;
• Change the embed: a framed message, set up with the same editor as +embed, instead of the text or with it.

The placeholders

The message and the embed accept the live's placeholders, which the panel lists:

• {MemberTwitchName}: the streamer's Twitch name;
• {MemberTwitchPic}: their Twitch profile picture;
• {LiveTitle}: the live's title;
• {LiveGame}: the game;
• {LivePic}: the live's picture;
• {LiveLink}: the live's link.

Member placeholders work too ({MemberMention}, {MemberName}…), see +help msg. An @everyone or a role mention in the message really pings those members.

How the bot spots a live

The bot sees the live through Discord's "Live" status. To be announced, the member must:

1. have linked their Twitch account to Discord (User Settings › Connections);
2. let Discord show their activity: they then appear in purple, "Live on Twitch".

Each live is announced once, when it starts.

If it doesn't work

• No alert: check that alerts are on, that the channel is set, and that the member has one of the streamer roles.
• A member is never announced: their Twitch account must be linked to Discord, and their activity visible.
• The alert doesn't reach the channel: the bot must be able to write and send embeds there.
