Error Messages

Common errors and how to fix them:

"Missing Permissions"

Solution: Make sure you have "Manage Server" permission

"Invalid Username"

Solution: Use the full channel URL (e.g., https://twitch.tv/username) or just the username

"Streamer Already Tracked"

Solution: The streamer is already being tracked in this server

"Limit Reached"

Solution: You've hit your tier's streamer limit. Use /upgrade or remove some streamers.

"Rate Limited"

Solution: Wait a few seconds and try again

Best Practices

  1. Use Dedicated Channels: Create separate channels for stream notifications
  2. Start Small: Add a few streamers first to test notifications work correctly
  3. Use the Portal: For managing multiple streamers, the web portal is more efficient
  4. Check Limits: Use /subscription to see your usage before adding more streamers
  5. Organize by Platform: Consider separate channels for Twitch and YouTube
