Social networks

The Social networks module watches YouTube channels and Twitch streamers, and posts an alert in a Discord channel on every new video, new Short or live stream.

A Modules status banner at the top of the page recalls which modules are active and whether the service is online.

Following a YouTube channel

Enter the channel

The URL, Handle or Channel Name field accepts all three forms, for example https://youtube.com/@cyprien or just the name.

Pick the alerts channel

Leave the default value to use the public channel configured elsewhere.

Add a mention (optional)

The Mention field accepts @everyone or a role.

Customise the messages

Three separate messages can be configured: Live, Video and Short. The [title] and [channel] variables are replaced when posting.

Click Add Channel. It appears under Followed Channels, where you can change its configuration or stop following it.

Following a Twitch streamer

The Follow a Twitch Streamer form works the same way:

Twitch Username or Link: for example xqc or https://twitch.tv/xqc.
Alerts Channel and Mention.
Live Message with the same variables.

Click Follow Streamer. The Followed Streamers list shows each one’s state: Live or Offline.

Editing or removing a follow

On each list entry:

the save icon applies the configuration changes;
the Stop following action removes the channel or streamer, after confirmation.
