Streamer tools

When you stream, Konflux shows what is live at a glance and lets you change your Twitch stream from the message box. This page covers those tools, and streamer mode, which keeps private things off your screen while it may be on stream.

The stream strip

While anything a split shows is live, a strip appears under the split’s header. It shows, from left to right:

• a red dot, meaning live;
• how long the stream has been live, such as “1h 05m” or “7m”;
• the title;
• the category;
• the number of viewers, all platforms together. When more than one platform is live, the count per platform follows in brackets, such as “(Twitch 120 · Kick 8)”.

Some details:

• The live time counts from the earliest start any live platform gives. YouTube gives none, so a split live only on YouTube shows no live time.
• The title and category are Twitch’s when Twitch is live, otherwise those of the first live platform. YouTube has no category.
• Konflux asks once a minute while the tab is on screen. Hover the strip to see when it last asked, such as “As of 21:04”, and which platforms it could not ask, such as “not known for Twitch”.
• Twitch answers only when you are signed in to Twitch. Until then, Twitch is named as not known rather than counted as zero.

The setting is Stream strip under Settings › Stream: While something here is live (the default) or Never. It can differ per tab or split.

Which platforms are live

Each split’s header has a coloured dot per platform. Hover a dot to see whether that platform is live:

• “Twitch: live for 1h 05m, 120 watching”
• “Kick: not live”
• “YouTube: not live — any YouTube lines here are from an earlier broadcast”
• “Kick: could not find out whether it is live”

With Stream strip set to Never, Konflux does not ask, and the dot names only the platform.

The broadcaster’s commands

Type these in the message box of a split that shows your own Twitch channel. They work on Twitch only so far.

Command	What it does	Who may use it
/title <new title>	Sets your stream’s title. At most 140 characters.	Broadcaster
/category <exact name>	Sets your stream’s category. The name must match a Twitch category exactly, ignoring capitals; if it does not, Konflux suggests up to four.	Broadcaster
/marker [note]	Marks this moment in your live stream’s recording, with an optional note of up to 140 characters. Live streams only.	Broadcaster
/commercial [seconds]	Runs an ad break now: 1 to 180 seconds, 30 if you give none. Asks first.	Broadcaster
/raid <channel>	Sends your viewers to another channel. Twitch counts down 90 seconds first.	Broadcaster
/unraid	Calls off a raid that is still counting down.	Broadcaster
/clip	Clips the last moments of the stream.	Anyone signed in, where the channel allows clips

What you see:

• After you press Enter, a line above the message box says “Asking Twitch…”, then Twitch’s answer: for example “Twitch: title set.” or “Twitch: marker added — it is in the VOD’s markers.”
• /commercial asks first: “Run a 30-second ad break in examplestreamer now? Viewers see it at once, and once it has started it cannot be stopped.” Press Run the ad or Cancel.
• /raid answers with the countdown and a reminder: “/unraid calls it off”.
• /clip answers with a link where you can title and publish the clip. The link is valid for 24 hours.
• If something is refused, the line starts “Not done:” and gives the reason in Twitch’s words, or Konflux’s when it never reached Twitch, such as a category with no exact match.
• In a channel that is not yours: “That takes the broadcaster in examplestreamer — nothing was sent.”
• In a split with no Twitch channel: “These are built for Twitch so far; Kick and YouTube have their own versions, not yet built.”

If Twitch says a permission is missing, open Accounts on the rail. A login older than these commands says so there; sign out and in again to grant the new permissions.

The full list of commands is on Commands.

Streamer mode

Streamer mode keeps private things off your screen while it may be on stream. While it is on, Konflux hides:

• your notes about people, and the nicknames and colours you gave them;
• what deleted and held messages said;
• suspicious-user flags;
• desktop pop-ups and sounds.

The chat itself stays: it is public already.

Streamer mode is off by default. When OBS starts, Konflux offers it with a banner: “OBS is running. If this window can show on stream, streamer mode keeps private things off it”, with Turn on, Not now and Don’t offer again. Not now holds until OBS next starts.

The status bar at the bottom of the window always shows the state, and one click switches it:

• streamer mode off: click to turn it on.
• streamer mode · switched on or streamer mode · OBS is running: it is on, and why. Click to turn it off.
• streamer mode · waits for OBS: it will turn on by itself when OBS runs.

The settings are under Settings › Streamer mode:

• Streamer mode: Off (the default), On, or On while OBS is running.
• Offer it when OBS starts: on by default. It shows only while streamer mode is Off.

Your overlay’s scenes (Pogly)

If your stream overlay is made with Pogly, the Pogly button on the rail opens a panel that switches its scenes. You set it up once, with your overlay’s URL and an API token; the token is kept in your system’s keyring, never in Konflux’s settings. After that, click a scene under Scenes to put it on your overlay; it is then marked on air. The setup and everything else the panel does are on Pogly.

Not yet

These are planned and not built:

• Polls and predictions.
• The ad schedule, and snoozing an ad.
• An Events panel for subscriptions, gifts, bits, Super Chats, memberships and raids.
• Owner metrics, such as follower and subscriber totals and what the stream gained.
• The broadcaster’s commands on Kick and YouTube.

Until then, the platform’s own chat is one click away: the panel button in a split’s header (its tooltip reads The platform’s own chat — points, polls, predictions) opens it beside Konflux’s chat.
