CONNECT TO TWITCH CHAT

The purple website's chat is built on IRC so you can connect to it directly from an IRC client.

  1. While logged in (possibly for the last time) go to https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ and extract your OAuth Token.
  2. Add the IRC server. 
    {
  address = "irc.twitch.tv";
  chatnet = "Twitch";
  port = "6667";
  password = "";
  use_ssl = "no";
  ssl_verify = "no";
  autoconnect = "yes";
}
  3. Send the raw command CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership to the IRC server automatically after connecting. Alternatively, if you're using IRSSI add the following to the chatnets block.
    4. Twitch = {
  type = "IRC";
  nick = "YOUR TWITCH USERNAME";
  autosendcmd = "/quote CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership";
};
  4. After connecting to the server, join the chat by joining the channel #broadcaster, where broadcaster is the broadcaster's username in lowercase. For example, /join #lcolonq
