A post regrading all streamers, the recent Twitch "hack".

Postby Ven » Tue 24 Mar, 2015 3:19 pm

Recently some Twitch accounts were broken in to with passwords, IPs, and personal info stolen.
Twitch is not sure who did the "hack" or who exactly was affected but as a precaution Twitch has forced everyone to reset their passwords, and regenerated Stream keys.

here is how to find your stream key:

1) Go to your dashboard

2) Click on stream key

3) click "Show key" and Ctrl+C the key, all of it

4) Paste the Stream key in to OBS or your favorite streaming software

The connection between youtube and twitch accounts was also severed just incase. you'll need to reconnect your Twitch to your youtube account again in order to upload your streams to youtube.

i hope this helped some of the newbie streamers out there.
as i said in stream yesterday, i will be doing a short video series about setting up streaming etc. the first video will be about software reccomendations for streaming and OBS settings, so i'll go more in-depth with the settings there.

My Twitch where i occasionally stream myself pwning/getting pwned on elite mod, i seem to bounce between the two on a game to game basis. - http://www.Twitch.tv/Venkitsune
