Captivate Broadcast can display real-time Twitch alerts in your design. Complete the steps in this article to connect to Twitch.
Note: This feature is only available in Captivate and Titler Live Broadcast.
1. In Captivate's playout interface, open a project (if a project isn't already open) and select a graphic in the playlist.
Tip: Want to create a new graphic? Open the Library panel and drag a design from the library to the playlist. If you create a new graphic with a Twitch design from the library's Inputs section, your graphic is already connect to a Twitch input, so go to step 3. If you create a new graphic from the library's Designs section, complete step 2 to add the Twitch input to your graphic.
2. Select the new Graphic Layer in the Layer Workspace(if it's not already selected), then choose Select a data source > Gaming > Twitch and select a Twitch input to add that data source to the design.
3. The Twitch input appears in the 3rd tab in the Layer Properties panel and in the Data Source column on that Graphic Layer in the Layers Workspace. In addition, the Twitch input and its variables appear in the Preview panel.
Note: The Twitch input appears in the Multi Entry tab and the Live Data tab in the Layer Properties panel as well. However, since you are using an external data source the tabs will automatically populate and are not needed for this workflow. See to manually update to learn more
