     TWITCH_EXT_CHANNEL = Your Twitch Account Channel Name.

   • Under encode.stream:

     channel = Your Twitch Account Channel Name.

     key = Streaming Key (Found on your Twitch dashboard.)

   • Under config:

     ssl = false

The Genvid SDK uses the Twitch Extension Configuration Service, so you need to activate it.

3. Click Save Changes.

Associate the Twitch Developer Rig with Your Extension

1. Open your Twitch Developer Rig.

2. Log in using your Twitch Account Credentials, if necessary.

3. Click Add Project.

   Note: If this is the first project you’ve created, click Create Your First Project and skip the next step.

4. Click Create Project.

5. In the first drop-down menu under Select Existing or Create New Extension, select the Twitch Extension you just created.

   Note: If you don’t see it, click the Refresh button.

6. Click Next.

7. Select the folder for your Twitch Extension project.

   Note: In this case, it is samples\twitch. In general, it has to be the parent of the folder where your files are served.

8. Select None - I’ll use my own code as your template.

9. Click Next.

10. Click Get Started.

    This creates a JSON file in your project folder with all information related to the dev rig and project.

Now your Twitch Developer Rig is ready to stream the Tutorial Sample.
