Broadcast Companion (Twitch)

Broadcast Companion, used in combination with the theme Broadcast Lite or Broadcast PRO will integrate Twitch, YouTube and Kick data into your theme. Every time your website is loaded, this plugin makes a request to check if you are online on these services. If you are online, data from Twitch is presented in the theme.

The following data is displayed from Twitch:

• Online / Offline status from Twitch
• Active game / category
• Viewer count
• Videos (clips, highlights and past broadcasts)

Setup

This plugin keeps an active connection to the Twitch API, which requires you to add a Client ID and Client secret from Twitch. Instructions on where to find this data are included in the plugin, but you can also find those instructions here.
