Getting Started

Setting up your Twitch Youblicity account.

Account Setup
  1. Sign in to Youblicity using your Twitch account.
  2. Start and create a . setup_browser_source

Sign in

The next step should be done when the Stream is offline or when the overlay is moved off stream in OBS. You won't have to do this every stream, you will stay logged in!

  1. Add your URL to the BrowserSource
browser_source

Because we use advanced authentication to protect your overlay and chat from unauthorized access, your OBS Browser Source needs to be logged in to your Youblicity account.

Authentication via Setup Parameter (Required)

  1. Right-click your Browser Source and go to Properties.
  2. Append ?setup=true to the end of the URL (e.g. .../stream/1234?setup=true).
  3. Press "Interact" to login, you should be redirected to your BrowserSource again after logging in.
browser_source_interact

CRITICAL: Remove ?setup=true from the URL when you're done. If you leave it on, and your session is ever revoked for any reason while you're live, your overlay will redirect to the login screen and show it to your viewers!

  1. Done! After signing in with Twitch, everything is connected and set up.

  2. You can now start your stream and participate in Campaigns!
