Checking Your Usage

/subscription

Managing Streamers Visually

Want to manage multiple streamers more easily? Use the web portal:

/portal

Then add, edit, or remove streamers through the visual interface. The portal also lets you configure advanced settings like custom templates and webhooks.

Upgrading to Premium

/upgrade

Opens the Premium purchase page where you can unlock 300+ streamers and analytics.

Autocomplete Features

The /streamer remove command has autocomplete to make your life easier:

When you start typing a username, Discord will show you all currently tracked streamers for the selected platform. This prevents typos and makes it easy to remove streamers even if you don't remember their exact username.

Permission Requirements

Most commands require Manage Server permission to ensure only authorized users can configure notifications.

Don't have permission? Ask a server admin or someone with Manage Server to:

1. Give you the permission
2. Run the commands for you

Platform Support

Twitch

• Uses Twitch usernames (the part after twitch.tv/)
• Example: For twitch.tv/ninja, use username "ninja"
• Instant notifications (under 30 seconds)

YouTube

• Uses YouTube channel handles (the @username format)
• Example: For youtube.com/@mrbeast, use username "@mrbeast"
• Also supports channel IDs for channels without custom handles

Troubleshooting Commands

"Missing Permissions" Error

Solution: Make sure you have Manage Server permission in your Discord server. Contact a server admin if you don't.

"Invalid Username" Error

Solution: Double-check the streamer's username:

• For Twitch: Use the exact username from their URL (case doesn't matter)
• For YouTube: Use the @handle or channel ID

"Limit Reached" Error

Solution: You've hit your tier's streamer limit:

• Free tier: 5 Twitch + 5 YouTube max
• Premium tier: 300 Twitch + 10 YouTube max

Use /streamer remove to remove some streamers, or /upgrade to increase your limit.

Command Not Showing Up

Possible causes:

1. Bot not in server
2. Bot lacks permissions in channel
3. Discord sync delay

Solution: Re-invite the bot or wait a few minutes for Discord to sync commands.
