Set Stream Category

The Set Stream Category effect changes your Twitch stream category (also known as the game) to the value it receives. The category name must match a valid Twitch category exactly -- for example, "Just Chatting" or "Fortnite". If the name does not match, the category will not be updated.

This is useful for streamers who switch between games or activities during a single broadcast and want to automate category changes.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Category	string	The name of the Twitch category to switch to. Must match an existing Twitch category.

Example

You have a schedule where you play one game for the first half of your stream and switch to another later. Create a !switch moderator command that accepts a category name as an argument and passes it to a Set Stream Category effect. A mod can type !switch Just Chatting to update the category instantly.
