External Platform Embedding (YT, Kick, Twitch, or Facebook Video)

Adding an external player to your room enhances the viewing experience by incorporating content from popular streaming platforms. This guide will walk you through the process of integrating external players—specifically from Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Video, and kick.com—into your room settings. The video can be unlisted on the initial platform, but you can still add it in a chat via the link.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to add and display external content within your room environment seamlessly.

To add an external player to the room, navigate to the Streaming section of the room:

Choose Add External Stream and paste the link to the external player into the ‘Stream URL’ (the link should not contain any additional parameters)

If the link fits, you will see a preview of the player:

Link Requirements

To use an external player, copy only the URL within quotation marks after 'src='. Disregard all other parameters. The following platforms are supported:

• Twitch

To add a player from Twitch, copy the player's address and append the following 'parent' parameters:

&[parent=web.stage.watchers.io](http://parent=web.stage.watchers.io/)&[parent=chat.watchers.io](http://parent=chat.watchers.io/)&[parent=chat.us.watchers.io](http://parent=chat.us.watchers.io/)&[parent=chat.hk.watchers.io](http://parent=chat.hk.watchers.io/)&[parent=webadmin.dev.watchers.io](http://parent=webadmin.dev.watchers.io/)&[parent=webadmin.stage.watchers.io](http://parent=webadmin.stage.watchers.io/)&[parent=chatadmin.watchers.io](http://parent=chatadmin.watchers.io/)&[parent=chatadmin.us.watchers.io](http://parent=chatadmin.us.watchers.io/)&[parent=chatadmin.hk.watchers.io](http://parent=chatadmin.hk.watchers.io/)

Based on the example, the final link would appear as follows:
https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=eldos&parent=web.stage.watchers.io&parent=chat.watchers.io&parent=chat.us.watchers.io&parent=chat.hk.watchers.io&parent=webadmin.dev.watchers.io&parent=webadmin.stage.watchers.io&parent=chatadmin.watchers.io&parent=chatadmin.us.watchers.io&parent=chatadmin.hk.watchers.io

If everything is OK, you will see the preview on the admin panel and stream it on your chat.
