Stream monitors
A monitor is one rule: “when this streamer goes live, announce it in these channels.” Each server can monitor as many streamers as it likes — one monitor per streamer — and every monitor is configured entirely from the dashboard.
Creating a monitor
- 1Open your server in the dashboard and find the New monitor form.
- 2Pick the platform(Twitch or Kick) and type the streamer's channel name — the name in twitch.tv/<name> or kick.com/<name>. A leading
@is fine; we strip it. - 3Press Check — the live preview resolves the real channel (avatar, current or last stream title, game cover) and renders the exact card your server will receive.
- 4Pick one or more announcement channels — type to fuzzy-search, click to add. The alert fans out to every channel you select.
- 5Optionally set mentions, a custom message, the Watch button, and a stream-end action, then click Create monitor.
Creating a monitor verifies the streamer actually exists on the platform — a typo'd channel name is rejected immediately rather than silently never firing.
Managing monitors
Every monitor row in the dashboard has four actions:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Test | Posts a real live card to every configured channel immediately, using the streamer's current stream (or their last stream if they're offline). Test alerts never ping— @everyone/@here/role mentions are stripped so testing can't spam your community. |
| Enable / Disable | Pauses or resumes the monitor without deleting its configuration. Disabled monitors detect nothing and post nothing. |
| Edit | Changes channels, mentions, message, Watch button, and stream-end action in place. The streamer and platform are lockedonce created — they define the monitor's identity, so switching streamer means deleting and recreating. |
| Delete | Removes the monitor and tears down its platform subscriptions. This cannot be undone (but takes seconds to recreate). |
Limits
| Limit | Value |

| Monitors per streamer per server | 1 (edit it to add more channels) |

The same streamer can be monitored by any number of different servers — the one-per-streamer rule applies within a single server.
