Streaming: two accounts using same twitch • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Could someone please help and explain us the following issue:

We are using same twitch account to stream on lichess and our streams got approved.
https://lichess.org/streamer/funkmaus
https://lichess.org/streamer/wattschrott
WattSchrott was streaming yesterday (over 1 hour) and his stream has been shown under my account and is currently listed under my profile.
My badge was on fire during his stream! My followers been notified as if I was streaming.
His stream was not recodnized in the tourney he was playing, there was no green bar, and he has got no badge at all...

What should we do to have the stream assigned to the right person?

And another question:
Most streamers have in the offline-message "latest video" in their streamer page. We dont. Why that?

A reply would be very appreciated! :) Many many thanks in advance!

You are using the same channel. How would Lichess know who is using the channel? Lichess detects the stream from twitch, looks up the corresponding user on the server and adds the badge to that user. It is impossible to tell which account the stream belongs to, especially if both accounts are online at the same time.

Regarding the offline message, go to your channel settings (https://link.twitch.tv/myChannelSettings) and enable "Store past broadcasts".

Thanks for you help, @WaisKamal
Regarding the offline message: I dont understand it - since I had "store past broadcasts" enabled. :<
When going to the channel directly, there is the video from his stream, it only doesnt show up here.
Also, being amazon prime (accounts connected) twitch deletes our broadcasts after 14 days (not 60 as they say) and their support helps nothing! Frustrating.

I understand the point, that Lichess cant detect/assign who is streaming and thought about the workaround:
The one who is streaming, is turning ON the badge "Visible on the streamers page" and the other one will turn that OFF.
Do you think that will work?!

Seems it is something specific to your channel. If you have "Store past broadcasts" enabled and recent streams are still not showing, then Twitch support may be the only way to go. I can see recent streams of people who are currently offline.

Speaking of the workaround you suggested, I can't tell whether it will work or not. Perhaps @thibault has the answer.

Thanks! We will try the workaround and see. It is a chance. Making second account there is not an option.
And thanks for trying to ping thibault on this thread, it wont work - he made himself "unpingable".
Maybe the problem of the offline message will fix itself when we do another stream...
I dunno. Last time i wrote to twitch support they havent answered the question and closed the second issue as duplicate...

@Mate_On_f7 OP already mentioned "Making second account there is not an option".

#1 #3 Huh, that's an interesting idea although at present I don't think it works that way. I don't fully understand the motivation for using a single channel (I guess instead of having two channels which auto-host and cross-promote each other, you're preferring a single channel until there become enough reasons to form a second channel).

Regarding, "My followers been notified as if I was streaming." I'm not sure what this means. Twitch sends out notifications based upon who follows in the Twitch platform; YouTube sends out notifications based upon who subscribes in the YouTube platform; I don't think Lichess notifies anyone.

@Toadofsky Lichess shows the "started streaming" message in the left activity bar on frontpage when you follow someone. I am pretty sure that's what she meant.

All right, thanks for the response, Toadofsky!
Exactly, I mean the notification in the left side on the front-page; which is visible to my followers here, on lichess.

We have one channel because:

We two are one <3
We wanted represent our real-life-chess-club, SV Wattenscheid 30 e.V. together.
We have one amazon-account to connect the twitch-prime for storing broadcasts for 60 days (which for some reason fails to work!)
As our schedule is not active (yet), we thought about doing it once in a week each :)

We are not looking for fame by cross-promoting something (actually, I don’t know what that means), we are doing it for ourselves in the first place.
Also, I feel like streaming gives me sort of "OTB-Feeling" - to see and to be seen while playing…

So, I suppose, the channel we are using got assigned to my account already and it will simply be invisible when I turn off the badge. We will be trying out the workaround mentioned above in the next WattSchrott stream and I will let you know if it worked or not.
