Connect your platforms
Connect TikTok LIVE, Twitch, Kick and YouTube, one at a time or all four at once
Connect the platforms you stream to, and their gifts, follows and chat run the same events, alerts, throws, goals, leaderboards and text to speech. You can connect one platform or all four at once.
All four live in SettingsConnections, under Live platforms.
Connect TikTok LIVE
Enter your username
In the TikTok LIVE card, type your username in TikTok Username, without the @.
Connect
Click Connect to LIVE. When you're live, Vfinity joins your room and the TikTok pill in the title bar turns green.
You don't have to be live first. With Wait for the LIVE to start on, as it is by default, Vfinity checks for your LIVE every 30 seconds at first, then less often during a long wait, and joins on the next check after you start. While it waits, the pill is amber and a countdown sits beside it. Click Cancel there to stop waiting.
Rejoin the LIVE automatically, also on by default, keeps trying to reconnect if TikTok drops you during a stream. When your LIVE ends, Vfinity keeps checking and joins your next one.
Both need the built-in connector. To use a connector you run yourself, such as TikFinity, see Custom bridge.
Connect Twitch
Twitch gives Vfinity chat, follows, subs, bits, raids and channel point redemptions. You sign in once with a short code, so Vfinity never sees your password.
Choose the channel
Leave Channel to watch empty to use your own channel, or type another channel's name.
Start the sign-in
Click Connect to Twitch. The card shows a short code.
Approve it in your browser
Enter the code on Twitch's activation page, twitch.tv/activate. Open the page again opens that page for you. Once you approve, the card says Signed in as your name and connects.
Vfinity remembers the sign-in, so next time Connect to Twitch connects straight away. If the code expires before you approve it, click Connect to Twitch again for a new one. Sign out forgets the sign-in and tells Twitch to forget it too.
Connect Kick
Kick gives Vfinity chat, follows, subs and Kicks from any channel, with no account needed.
Name the channel
In the Kick card, type the channel in Channel name.
Connect
Click Connect to Kick. Vfinity finds the channel's chatroom by itself.
Signing in to Kick is optional and only lets Vfinity send chat. It uses a Kick developer app of your own: Local KICK sign-in setup has Open KICK developer settings, the fields for its Client ID and Client secret, and the Callback URL to register. The secret stays on this computer.
Connect YouTube
YouTube gives Vfinity chat, Super Chats, Super Stickers, Jewels gifts, new members, membership milestones, gifted memberships and the viewer count. There is no sign-in and no API key.
Name the channel or the stream
In the YouTube card, type your @handle or paste your channel link in Channel or stream link. To join one particular stream instead, paste that stream's link.
Connect
Once your stream is live, click Connect to YouTube. The card shows Watching: and the stream's title, and a YouTube pill appears in the title bar.
A handle or channel link joins whatever you are streaming right now, so YouTube does not wait for your stream the way TikTok LIVE can. A scheduled stream is the exception: paste its link, and Vfinity can join its chat before the stream starts, once the chat is open.
Vfinity reads YouTube chat the way a logged-out viewer's browser does. That is why it needs no account, and why it cannot send messages to YouTube. Messages YouTube holds for review arrive once they are approved.
When the stream ends, Vfinity notices within a minute, runs your Stream ends events and leaves the chat. If the chat stops answering during a stream, Vfinity rejoins it by itself.
Connect every time Vfinity starts
Connect on launch in SettingsPreferences & dataGlobal Preferences is on by default. It connects VTube Studio, and TikTok LIVE once it has a username, each time Vfinity starts.
Twitch, Kick and YouTube connect at launch too when their own card's Connect on launch switch is also on. It is off until you turn it on. YouTube joins at launch only if your stream is already live by then.
Check what's connected
Every connection has a pill in the title bar: green when connected, amber while it connects, waits or retries, and red when it's off. Twitch, Kick and YouTube get their pills once you've connected them once.
Right-click a pill to connect or disconnect it, stop a TikTok wait, or open its card in Settings.
Decide what Twitch, Kick and YouTube events are worth
Bits, channel points and subs on Twitch, Kicks, subs and rewards on Kick, and Super Chats, Super Stickers and gifted memberships on YouTube count as gifts worth a number of diamonds. That way one gift event covers every platform. Once a second platform is in use, set the values in SettingsPointsWhat events are worth. Points lists each one.
A Super Chat is worth 140 diamonds per US dollar by default, converted from the viewer's currency. Jewels gifts arrive under their own names but are worth no diamonds, because YouTube does not say what they cost.
