if you want to send messages to your
YouTube live stream from your Elgato
Stream Deck, Livestream Alerts can help.
We'll go through four simple steps to
send a chat message to YouTube from your
Stream Deck. Connect the Livestream
Alerts account; connect the Google
account to it; create an action in the
Livestream Alerts UI which sends a
message; and add that action to our
Stream Deck. If you already have an
account configured on Livestream Alerts,
you can ignore the first part of the
tutorial and use actions from your
existing account. First, create an account.
Start by going to livestreamalerts.com.
Click get started, then register a
new account.
Next, you'll need to connect a Google
account. This is the account that
messages will be sent from to all live
broadcasts connected to the channel
simply visit the accounts page click
link new account and allow access for
Livestream Alerts. Next, we'll create a
"Send YouTube chat message" action
navigate to the actions page and choose
add YouTube chat message action type the
message you want to be sent: "Do you want
to build a snowman?"
now that we have an action we can add it
to Stream Deck. First, copy the URL from
the actions page,
then open Stream Deck,
add a website action. You'll want to
ensure that you check the "access in
background" option so that the URL is not
open in your browser. Paste the URL from
the Livestream Alerts page, and
title your action. Now every time you
activate the Stream Deck button, a
message will be sent to your YouTube
live video with that message. Now that
I've configured it I'll press the button
on my Stream Deck...
and you can see the action: the message
show up in live chat sent by the Stream Deck.
