How to Receive Twitch Live Stream Notifications on Discord Channels?

In addition to being a social media platform for community communication, Discord can also receive the latest information from various social media platforms through third-party bots, allowing all members of Discord servers to stay updated on the latest news. This article will explain how to use the Streamcord bot to receive live stream messages from a specified Twitch account.


Introduction to Streamcord Bot

Streamcord is a very simple bot that can publish live stream messages from a specified Twitch account to a specified Discord channel. Streamcord also offers two different versions, a free version and a paid version. Free version users can track up to 25 Twitch accounts.

In addition, Streamcord also provides a live streaming-related feature, which allows members of Discord servers to gain an extra role when they go live on Discord. Free version users can set up one online streaming role.
