Stream alerts

Announce a Twitch, YouTube, Kick or TikTok stream in Discord when it goes live.

What it does

Dashboard → your server → Stream Alerts. You add the people you want announced, and when one of them goes live a message is posted in the channel you picked.

Adding a streamer

A streamer needs a platform, the name they use on that platform, a display name and a Discord channel. A role to ping and your own message of up to 2000 characters are optional.

Warning

For YouTube only a channel id in the UC form works. A handle or a username cannot be resolved, and a streamer added that way is silently never seen as live.

How going live is noticed

Twitch is pushed to us over EventSub, and polled as well in case a subscription was never made or was revoked. YouTube, Kick and TikTok are polled only.

The poll runs every minute and skips a server that was checked more recently than its own refresh interval. The interval can be 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 minutes; under 5 minutes needs Pro. Without a setting it is 5 minutes, or 1 minute on a Pro server.

The message

The announcement is an embed with the stream title, the game and the viewer count where the platform gives them, and a Watch Now button. Your own message replaces the standard description.

You can also post to extra channels, open a thread on the announcement, and add up to four link buttons of your own. A button label is at most 80 characters and its address at most 512.

A Pro server can replace the title, description, footer, colour and image with a template of its own. These placeholders are filled in:

{name}{platform}{url}{game}{viewers}{stream_title}

Not announcing everything

A schedule filter limits announcements to certain days and hours. A title blacklist skips a stream whose title contains one of your words. Both are checked before the message is queued, so a skipped stream leaves nothing behind.

An offline notice can be switched on per streamer, with a message of up to 1000 characters.

Checking it works

Each streamer has a test button that sends the announcement now, and a switch that stops it without deleting the entry.

Info

If you are looking for the Webhooks module: it is gone. It had a page, a controller and a switch, and no bot code that ever read any of it, so the switch was dropped in August 2026. GitHub is a separate module and does work.
