Discord plugin to automatically share live links in channel

#Discord plugin to automatically share live links in channel windows#

While a small thing, the more popular you become as a streamer the more likely it is that you will receive requests to join servers and have your identity shared inadvertently with the world. Now everything is linked up, you can stream in confidence with Discord knowing that no identifiable information will be shared with your channel. It brings Twitch, OBS and Discord tightly together for a more streamlined experience if thatвЂ™s your thing. If you want to add OBS, you can use the OBS Streamkit Overlay provided by Discord. If you trust Discord, it can automatically find accounts it can work with as you use your computer and add them to the list. While youвЂ™re in the Connections menu you can optionally enable the ability to automatically detect other accounts within Discord. Your Twitch and Discord accounts are now linked and can share limited data between them.

Twitch should appear in Discord as a connected account.

Select the user icon at the bottom of the screen.

Twitch should appear in the right pane of Discord as a connected account.

Log into Twitch when the browser window opens and confirm the link to Discord.

Select the gear icon next to your username in Discord.

IвЂ™ll use Twitch in the example as I it myself. If you use Mixer, integration isnвЂ™t so tight as yet but this works fine with Twitch and other streaming services. So if you use Twitch, linking it and OBS with Discord is necessary for it all to work. The actual enabling of Streamer Mode is a simple toggle but first you need to integrate your streaming service and applications into Discord so they can all talk to each other.

This works well in Windows but not for all application notifications. Notifications вЂ“ Depending on the device you use, Discord can also suppress desktop notifications. Sounds вЂ“ Streamer Mode will also suppress notification sounds and desktop notification sounds so they donвЂ™t interrupt the stream. Viewers should just see вЂStreamer ModeвЂ™ instead. Invite LinksВ вЂ“ If you receive invitations during a stream, Streamer Mode will hide the link and any personal information within them. Personal information held by Discord вЂ“ It will hide your email address, any connected accounts, Discord Tags and anything else stored within the app. You will still get those messages, they just wonвЂ™t be visible to anyone while youвЂ™re live. Rather than do that, Streamer Mode will suppress those messages and not show them while youвЂ™re streaming.

This would be visible to the world and could be used to follow you around Discord. For example, say youвЂ™re streaming and using Discord and you see a server admin notification or server invite.

So what is Streamer Mode in Discord and what can it do for you? Streamer Mode essentially hides any personal information from the stream that could expose your real identity.
