Twitch integration for games
Connect Twitch to BakoshApp: Bits, chat, subs, follows, raids and channel points trigger actions in GTA 5, Minecraft and other games. Every plan.
BakoshApp connects your Twitch channel to game mods: Bits, chat, subscriptions, follows, raids and channel point rewards run actions in the game, show alerts in OBS and can be read aloud by TTS Chat. Twitch works next to TikTok and Kick: each platform connects on its own, with its own row in the Platforms menu. It's available on every plan. On Free, one platform connects at a time; PRO and MAX connect them all at once. It's in beta: the Beta chip stands next to its name in the Platforms menu and the Action Trigger dialog.
Sign in to Twitch
Twitch sends Bits, subscriptions, follows and channel points only to the streamer's own account, so instead of a channel name you sign in once.
- Click Platforms in the header and click Sign in in the Twitch row.
- Twitch opens in your browser. Check that it's your channel and click Authorize.
- The browser shows that the sign-in is done and offers to open BakoshApp. The app picks it up by itself: "Signed in to Twitch".
While BakoshApp waits for the browser, the row shows Waiting…; the ✕ next to it stops waiting. Your Twitch password never reaches BakoshApp: the sign-in happens on Twitch, and BakoshApp's server keeps only the access Twitch gave it.
Connect
After signing in, the Twitch row shows your channel. Click ▶ (Connect to Twitch). When the dot turns green and "Connected to Twitch" appears, events are coming in; the channel doesn't have to be live. If the connection drops, BakoshApp reconnects by itself. To disconnect, click ✕ in the row.
The gear next to the row opens Twitch account: which channel you signed in to, Sign in again when a new version of BakoshApp needs new permissions, and Sign out.
Bits, subscriptions and channel points exist only on Affiliate and Partner channels. On other channels Twitch refuses those events — the console says "Twitch refused some events, their triggers won't fire" — while chat, follows and raids work.
Triggers on Twitch
Twitch triggers are created on the Twitch tab of the Action Trigger dialog:
| Trigger | Fires on | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Chat | a chat message | a keyword; Subscriber and @username in Available for |
| Bits | a cheer or a Power-up | Min Bits and Max Bits — empty means no limit |
| Follow | a new follower | Once per viewer |
| Subscribe | a new subscription, a renewal or gifted subscriptions | Once per viewer |
| Raid | another channel raiding you | Minimum raid viewers, 0 for any raid |
| Channel Points | a viewer redeeming a reward | Reward — one of your rewards or Any reward |
- Gifted subscriptions run the action once per subscription: a gift of 5 subs runs it 5 times, for the viewer who gifted them.
- Rewards are the custom rewards of your channel; create them in the Twitch Creator Dashboard, then click the reload button next to Reward.
- A trigger belongs to the tab it was created on. To react to the same thing on Twitch and TikTok, add a row for each platform.
Twitch has no likes, shares or joins, and doesn't say whether a viewer follows you, so the Follower and Friend filters aren't offered. Subscribers are recognised by their chat badge, so Subscriber is offered only for Chat.
Overlay, TTS Chat and viewer stats
- Overlay: Gift Alert shows Bits too, with its own threshold Minimum Bits (Twitch); Raid Alert and Channel Points Alert are for Twitch. Any alert can be limited to Twitch only. See Overlay.
- TTS Chat reads Twitch chat when Read Twitch chat is on; Bits have their own minimum. See TTS Chat.
- Viewers counts Twitch chat, Bits, subscriptions and follows, per channel. See Viewers.
- The Trial stream in Platforms can play Twitch: pick Twitch in its window to rehearse your Bits, raid and reward triggers without going live.
Sign out
Open the gear in the Twitch row and click Sign out. BakoshApp disconnects, Twitch revokes BakoshApp's access to your channel, and the Twitch viewer stats on this PC are deleted — Twitch's rules require it. You can also remove BakoshApp on Twitch, in Settings → Connections; then sign in again to keep using Twitch.
Common questions
The row says "PRO only". On Free, one platform connects at a time, and another one is connected or connecting now. Disconnect it in the Platforms menu, or get PRO to connect several at once: see Free vs PRO vs MAX.
BakoshApp says "Twitch access was revoked. Sign in again." BakoshApp was removed from your Twitch connections, or your Twitch password was changed. Click Sign in in the Twitch row.
BakoshApp says "Twitch allows 3 connections per account, and all of them are in use." Twitch keeps at most three event connections per app and account. Close BakoshApp on your other PCs, wait a minute and connect again.
Bits, subscriptions or channel point triggers don't fire. Check that your channel is Affiliate or Partner, and that the trigger is on the Twitch tab. For Channel Points, check that the chosen reward still exists on Twitch.
Do viewers need to install anything? No. They cheer, subscribe, follow, raid and redeem rewards on Twitch as usual.
