Connections¶
Here you can manage your connections to Twitch and YTMDesktop. You can see if you're connected, and if not, you can connect to them very easily.
On the left side, you see the connection to Twitch. Choose below between the "Not connected" and the "Connected" state to see more information about each state.
If you're not connected yet, you can very simply connect your Twitch Account to the application. To do this, press the button. This should open a so called "OAuth" window, where you can login with your account and you see all permissions the app asks you for.
Important
Please read the message from Twitch carefully, as it explains what permissions the app asks for. If you don't agree with them, you can simply close the window and the app will not be connected to your Twitch Account.
If you're connected, you can see your Twitch username and profile picture.
If you're connected to the wrong account or just simply want to connect to another Twitch Account, just press the text saying "Log out"
