5. Log Into Twitch and Authorize Access

When the Twitch login window opens:

  1. Enter your Twitch credentials.

  2. Grant all requested permissions for Vimmi Video Commerce.

  3. Wait for the popup to close automatically and return to Vimmi.

These permissions allow Vimmi to:

  • Stream directly to your Twitch channel.

  • Manage live broadcast sessions.

  • Access stream metadata for analytics and monitoring.

🎉 That’s it!

Your Twitch Account is now connected to Vimmi, and you can stream directly from your Console.


6. Verify the Connection

Go back to Settings → Destinations.

Your Twitch connection should now appear in the list with an Active status.

If not visible:

  • Refresh the page.

  • Ensure the Twitch popup was not blocked by your browser.

  • Try reconnecting.


Troubleshooting

Connection fails

  • Check that you’re signing into the correct Twitch account.

  • Ensure browser pop-ups are allowed during the authorization process.

  • Retry the connection using an incognito window.

Missing permissions

  • If Vimmi can’t start streams, reconnect and grant all permissions during the Twitch authorization flow.

Connection not appearing in Destinations

  • Wait a few moments and refresh the page.

  • If still missing, click Remove Connection (if available) and reconnect again.

Account restrictions

  • Some organizational Twitch accounts may have limited API permissions. Use a personal or creator account for best results.
