Go-live Role

Off by default

Members who stream get a live role while they’re on Twitch or Kick, so your streamers stand out in the member list, and Kovu can post a line when they go live. Members link their account once at kovu.gg/me/linked-accounts; Kovu checks every 2 minutes and takes the role off a short grace period after the stream ends.

Changes apply in your server within a few seconds of saving.

Tips

Pick a live role below Kovu’s highest role and without admin permissions, then turn on Display role members separately in Discord so live members show in their own group.
Set Only members with to your streamer role if you don’t want every linked member to get the role and an announcement.
A stream that drops and comes back within the grace period counts as the same one: the role stays and Kovu doesn’t post twice.
Kovu only takes off the live role it gave. If your staff give it to someone by hand, it stays. Turning the module off takes off every live role Kovu gave.
