Connect your channel
After your first sign-in, the Channel page (/channel) is where you confirm AveloBot has access to your Twitch channel and where you re-authorize when something is wrong.
What "connected" means
Connecting your channel registers your Twitch broadcaster account with your AveloBot workspace. With that connection in place, AveloBot can:
- Subscribe to Twitch EventSub for follows, subs, raids, bits, ad breaks, and stream online/offline.
- Send chat messages and announcements as your bot identity.
- Read your live status, title, and category.
Connection states
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Connected | Tokens valid, EventSub active | Nothing — you're good. |
| Needs reauth | A token refresh failed (e.g. you revoked AveloBot on Twitch, or a scope changed) | Click Reconnect and re-authorize. |
| Not connected | First-time setup not completed yet | Click Connect with Twitch. |
Disconnecting
If you want to stop using AveloBot temporarily, click Disconnect on the channel page. This:
- Removes your stored Twitch tokens from AveloBot.
- Tears down EventSub subscriptions for your channel.
- Leaves your commands, timers, quotes, and event responses intact — they will be reused if you reconnect later.
To fully remove AveloBot's authorization, also revoke it under twitch.tv/settings/connections.
Shared bot account (optional)
If your operator has set up a shared bot account, the bot will post chat messages from that separate account instead of from your broadcaster account. You don't have to do anything — it's transparent. If no shared bot is configured, messages are posted as your broadcaster account.
