# Twitch

> Post a live alert when a streamer goes live.

```text theme={null}
/social add platform:Twitch account:shroud channel:#live role:@Live
,twitch add shroud #live
```

`account` accepts a username or a channel link.

## What gets posted

* A **live alert** when the channel goes live, with the stream title, game and thumbnail.
* One alert per stream · going offline and live again is a new stream, and a new alert.
* Alerts are skipped if the channel is already live when you follow, so you don't get a stale ping.

## Notes

Twitch occasionally rate-limits the bot. When that happens the follow stays intact and alerts resume
on their own; nothing needs re-adding.

**Title changes don't re-post**

Editing a stream title while live updates nothing · the alert is only sent when the stream starts.
