@PlushPapi This was included in the update! "Create Clip" now supports an optional duration parameter to specific the Clip length from 5 to 60 seconds. You can add a title as well. https://t.co/lukpX6bAT3

📢 Never miss a Clip. Developers can now Clip from VODs to help streamers find and highlight every moment that matters, even after the stream has ended.

📢 With the introduction of Lead Moderators, action may be required for some developers with chatbots or services that rely on the "moderator" badge to confirm identity. https://t.co/lAbuzlrftc

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@LunaCupcake5 Thanks for the question! This endpoint requires authorization from streamers, so developers cannot use this to download your clip files without your consent.

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

📢 Today we launched an API endpoint to download Twitch clips!

Third-party tools can now download clips to provide streamers (and their editors) with automatic editing solutions, stream summaries, content for AFK scenes, and more. 🎬

@zurret @TwitchSupport Yesterday we were experiencing a bug where streamers were incorrectly displayed in the Chat Bots section. This should be resolved. 🤖

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@Madeleine1994_ @TwitchSupport Yes, this works for custom bots! The badge is automatically displayed when the bot uses the Send Chat Message API endpoint with an app access token. Here is the developer announcement with the requirements and links to the relevant documentation. https://t.co/Fg0ubBgZa5

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@Vecet @TwitchSupport Appreciate the feedback! This update does not provide bots access to your emotes, but we have taken note for future consideration.

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@BlondiesSecret @TwitchSupport This update does not provide bots access to your emotes. We have heard this idea from a few developers and streamers during this process, so it has been noted for future consideration. Thanks for the feedback!

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@BasedBidoof @TwitchSupport You can find more information regarding how to use the new badge in our developer announcement and the linked documentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to join the TwitchDev Discord server. https://t.co/Fg0ubBgrkx

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@ConductorSavy @TwitchSupport If you know the developer, here is the relevant documentation to share. https://t.co/pez4AcL7g1

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@ConductorSavy @TwitchSupport In order for the bot badge to be displayed next to messages from your second account, the developer of the program you utilize to send chat messages needs to use app access tokens with the Send Chat Message API. It does not broadly categorize the account as a bot.

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

@MissMachoTV @TwitchSupport Yes! The badge is automatically applied when the Send Chat Message API is used with an app access token. Refer to the announcement and docs below, or join the TwitchDev Discord server for more questions. https://t.co/Fg0ubBgrkx

[TwitchDev @TwitchDev]

📢 A new way to identify your chatbot in chat!

⚠️ Non-secure WebSocket connections to Twitch IRC servers will be decommissioned this month.

Disruption to third-party tools is expected to be minimal due to low usage and redirects to secure connections. Please refer to the announcement for more details.
