Category Change

The Category Change trigger fires whenever you change the category (game or activity) on your Twitch stream. This is useful for automating actions that should happen when you switch games, such as updating overlays, changing chat commands, or posting a notification.

The trigger provides the name of the new category as a string output.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Category	string	The name of the new stream category.

Example

Use the Category Change trigger to automatically send a chat message announcing the new game you are playing. You could also combine it with a String Check node to run specific actions only when switching to a particular game -- for example, enabling a special overlay when playing a specific title.
