F.A.Q.

— How can I give a streaming live role?

You may have want to give streamers more attention when they go live. This is great if you have multiple streamers in your discord community or you want to hoist the role higher on the side of your listed online Discord member list. 

  1. Simply enable the option at the bottom of the Twitch plugin page.
  2. Select a the Discord role that the streamer will get. Consider having the role name as "Live Now!" or "Streaming"
  3. Then, you can restrict who can obtain this role auto role based if the user has already an existing role. This may be important especially if you have other discord members who do stream, they also may get this role and you may only want it for one or a few specific streamers for the purpose of your community. 
  4. Then you are all set! Whenever a streamer goes live, they will obtain a role automatically and you can use the role to hoist them to the top of the member list or for pings.
