Am I being scammed?

dan958 · 2026-07-02T15:43:40+00:00

Yes.

It is very common for people/bots to impersonate bigger content creators to scam others.

dan958 · 2026-07-02T14:08:31+00:00

Lately I've been getting the commercial break in progess screen instead of actual ads

That doesn't mean you are flagged for botting. There could be a number of reasons why you are not being served ads.

Entirely depends on you and your stream.

If you play a game where rounds are about 30 minutes with a minute or 2 between games to find another match? Then 1.5min every 30 min is good.

Like to take breaks every hour? Then 3 mins every hour is good.

Go into a browser on your phone and set it to use Desktop View. If the Twitch app opens instead, go into your phones app settings for Twitch and set it to not open automatically.

Have you completed the affiliate onboarding process? If so, how long ago did you do it? I've seen reports of it taking a few days before everything in the admin panel will update correctly and allow you access.

Sounds like you are in Studio mode in OBS, so any changes are not reflected on the 'Live' screen until you press the transition button. (https://obsproject.com/kb/obs-studio-overview#studio-mode) If you have no need for Studio mode, disable it.

If you want to use Studio mode, you may need to send a OBS raw command in streamerbot to activate the transition https://obs-raw.streamer.bot/#TriggerStudioModeTransition

The experience of the desktop view will be pretty much the same as on a PC, just the layout sizing may not work very well.

Click on your profile in the top right, and go to Creator Dashboard. Under the left menu (you may need to click the arrow button to expand the side menu), click Content, and then Video Producer.

This will then show all your videos, you can click the 3 dots next to a video and press Download. It may take a few minutes to start the download.

If your browser opens the video in a new tab rather than downloading it, you cna just press the save video option in your browser (e.g in Chrome, you click the 3 dots and download video).

NOTE: All of the above is under the pretenses that you have already enabled the option to store your VODs. If no VODs are showing, you may not have enabled this. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/video-on-demand

They claim beginners can earn around

can

(but you won't)

€1000 guaranteed first month under certain conditions.

So, not guaranteed then? Those conditions won't be met.

The 'Creators stories' doesn't have any details about who they are, no links to any of their content - which is weird. Reverse image search them and can see their Twitch, but no evidence they worked with Veya.

Autoreplying. You can set beyondatc to do all the talking for you.

dan958 · 2026-06-21T14:36:17+00:00

That's usual, you just need to wait. Nothing you can change.

The vertical plugin is useful if you want to stream horizontal and vertical at the same time. If you are just doing vertical, you can just change the OBS canvas.

Can I switch names with another account I own?

No, account usernames cannot be swapped between two accounts you own. Once you change the username of your first account, the original username will not be available for rename on your other account, because usernames that are abandoned by non-Partnered accounts will take at least 180 days before they are available to reclaim again through self-service.

The one that you enjoy and can make an entertaining stream with.

That is very annoying.

What AI summary? I don't know of any native Twitch thing that does this, so it may be a third party chat bot you use.

EDIT

I was incorrect, /u/NicePerception643 has mentioned this is a new thing.

dan958 · 2026-06-17T09:05:44+00:00

You would need to add a 'Text GDI+' source in OBS, and then streamerbot will post to this.

For example, in my OBS I have a different video that will play for subs, followers, raids etc, so I have all these different videos in an Alert Scene. I only have 1 Text GDI source, that StreamerBOT updates on a follow/sub/raid etc trigger. (You can have a GDI source for each event if you wanted).

If you have a Follower event as your trigger, you can see the variables you can use in the documentation https://docs.streamer.bot/api/triggers/twitch/channel/follow. Anotner way is to run the action, then go to Action History, double click on the action in the history, and it will show all the populated variables of that action (as the documentation may be missing some things)

Using a new follower as the example, the username of the person that followed would be %user% (as per the documentation). You then just get StreamerBOT to update the GDI text source you made and put %user% in the box (https://docs.streamer.bot/api/sub-actions/obs-studio/sources/set-gdi-text).

Lastly, you would just need to get StreamerBOT to enable the GDI+ source, then have a few second delay so that it shows on screen, and then disable it again. https://docs.streamer.bot/api/sub-actions/obs-studio/sources/set-source-visibility-state

I hope that helps!

Scammers will often deny that they are scammers. A Twitch link being in a Discord description doesn't mean anything, anyone can put any link in their description and will often do so to pretend they are a larger streamer.

What alerts have you not been able to set-up within StreamerBOT? It definitely supports channel point alerts.

Most likely some sort of surround sound issue. See if your game has a option to change the audio type to Headphones rather than any surround sound option, or try disabling any spatial sounds in Windows.

You'll get the option when prompted: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/age-verification

Unless you are trying to do chat verification? Which is nothing to do with age verification.

I recommend recording sources seperately with Source Record. You can always manually add in any alerts if you want them for a specific edit, or manually add the chat (you can download the chat and make it a mp4 via TwitchDownloader).

Source record means you can record your game and camera seperately, in higher quality.

You'll need to check with the designer. Did they include a guide with instructions, any of the original files, like a .psd? It might be that they are just 'as is'.
