community on twitch in this video I got you covered let's go.
hey it's me it's wild coming at you for my stream support playlist where I bring you the best tips
and tricks and if this is your first time here and you want to learn how to
grow and expand your stream make sure you hit that big red subscribe
button and tick that bell so you know in my videos go live for you and hey at any
point the video if you like the products or the services that I'm talking about I
did you a favor I put all the links in the description below so make sure you
go ahead and check those out so what is a twitch extension well the best way to
kind of describe it is basically it's just a widget or plugin on twitches
platform that allows you to fetch information or display certain
information on your channel some of these plugins are made by twitch itself
or third-party providers out there and they execute some really cool functions
so let me show you some really cool things that you can do with twitch
extensions so let's go over the computer and I will show you what you need to
know the very first thing you want to do when you want to add an extension is go
to your own twitch channel scroll down a little bit and you will see the edit
panels toggle make sure we click that on so we can add a panel in either at the
top or the bottom you will see add an extension sometimes
they'll be at the top and sometimes it'll be all the way down at the bottom
here now if this is your first time it'll most likely be down here so let's
start from the beginning since that's what's gonna be foremost you just go
ahead and click on the plus sign here wait for that to load and you will see
if you want to add a text or image panel which is like the ones you saw displayed
earlier or an extension panel which is what this tutorial is about go ahead and
click on that now once that is loaded it'll take you to add an extension to
this page now we need to go to our extension manager and this
will allow us to see all the different extensions if it's your first one it
will load to my extensions which currently I have none displayed but if
you'd like to discover any make sure you just click on the discovery tab here and
this is where you'll start to see all the different twitch extensions made by
twitch in third party providers and there are a ton here and I recommend when you
have some free time go through all these and see what would be exciting for you
in your channel in your community for this tutorial let's install something
that's quite popular on a lot of twitch streamers channels a leaderboard so
let's go to the top and type in the search bar here just later to get a
generalization of all the different leaderboards that are out there from
here you're gonna see some made by twitch and third-party providers some of
the more popular ones would be like stream labs and stream elements but
there are a ton out here take a look at all them and see what would be best for
you in your community if you're interested in any of these you can click
on the details to see what it will look like on your channel plus the detail
information plus if there's any disclaimers which are very important
because some extensions out there have a revenue sharing program or have certain
prerequisites that you need to do to use them we can get in a little more on that
later if you guys are interested in that let me know in the comments below but
they're very easy to install we're gonna go to the top right corner here and
click install once you have it down let's go to either continue browsing or
configure to make sure it's set up the way that I want we want to make sure
that we go straight to the configuration of the extension so let's go on and
click configure now that we're here we can do all the different configurations
that we need as you can see there's theme default tab default period max
items and enable and disable tabs so I like to do everything on night mode so
I'm going to click for night mode for mine and then for the default what do I
want to show Cheers loyalty or subscription I like to show Cheers since
people are very kind at sharing that type of currency on Twitch and then what
kind of what kind of display would I like to have for my default period
session week month all time I'm gonna do mine for a week because I think that's
more exciting to have people on the leaderboard that way and then max items
what once what should you display three slots five
slots ten slots 20 slots let's just leave it at ten and what would I like to
show for everything that people can click through I can turn certain things
and off and let's click savings now that I got it the way that I like
with my settings saved I can go back to my extensions and from here I can click
under the activate section and set this to whatever panels are being displayed
for extensions that I have set I'm just gonna set this to extension panel number
one but I don't have to leave it at panel number one if I would like to move
my panels around all I need to do is go to my channel and from here I can click
on the Edit panels again from here everything is modular I can move it to
whatever position panel I want to perhaps I want it all the way at the
bottom all I need to do is just click and drag the panel all the way to the
bottom and go back up to the top and hit edit panels to the save section and boom
now I have it exactly where I want it to be displayed on my twitch channel with
this twitch extension now all your viewers regulars and subscribers can
look at all the different information from Session two week two month two all
time for your bit subs and points and beyond it's a really cool little add-on
that you might want to consider using for your stream channel twitch
extensions are a really cool asset to introduce to your stream there are a lot
out there that'll help you grow and engage your community even more so
consider introducing a few to your channel just do me a favor don't go
overboard with extensions because it will kind of crowd your stream channel
and you'll kind of lose the message that you're trying to bring accross if you
