Twitch-Specific Features
VOD Links
Offline notifications include a "Watch VOD" button linking to the stream recording. This lets your community catch up on streams they missed.
VOD Availability
VOD links only appear if the streamer has VODs enabled on their channel. Some streamers disable VODs.
Game Artwork
Notifications include the game's official box art as an embed thumbnail, making it easy to identify what's being played at a glance.
