With a connected Twitch account ColorMari can announce your game in chat, and recognise your moderators. You can play and stream without it - these features come on top.
Connect Twitch
If you log in with Twitch, your account is already connected. If you logged in with YouTube or by email, you connect Twitch afterwards under Login connections. All ways of logging in then lead to the same account.
What the connection gives you
- Announcements in chat. ColorMari can point your Twitch chat to the game.
- Moderators are recognised. Whoever moderates your channel is automatically listed as a moderator in the game.
Setting up a community round
- Create a game and set the access. All possibilities are in Game options for hosts.
- Copy the lobby's link and share it in chat.
- Keep an eye on the player list: there you can kick, ban and mark VIPs.
- Start as soon as everyone is there.
- At the end, Next game takes everyone into a new lobby with the same settings - the link changes, but nobody has to look for it.
For large rounds the player limit helps, and the whitelist lets in exactly the people you planned for.
The category on Twitch
ColorMari has a category of its own on Twitch: ColorMari. Set it for your stream - others see there who is playing live right now.
Notes for the stream
- Everyone looks at all pictures together at the end. Tell your fellow players beforehand that you are streaming.
- There is nothing you have to save in between: after the game you find all pictures in the game history. There you can download your own, your friends' and those from books you were tagged in.
