Show Off Your Guides on Twitch!
Hey everyone, today I'm happy to introduce the MOBAFire Companion Extension for Twitch! With so many guide authors getting into streaming and streamers picking up guide-writing, we thought we could make it easier for you to share your guides with your viewers on your Twitch channel.

The MOBAFire Companion extension links to your MOBAFire account and pulls up stats from any or all of your guides. You and your viewers will see updated view counts as well as the patch number from your last update to the guide. Each of the guides also includes a hyperlink so your viewers can access them with a single click.

For those of you with many guides, you can customize which guides are shown to people who view your Twitch channel through the options in the extension (more on that below). You can also feature your favorite guide, which will sticky that guide to the top of your list and show the splash art you selected for the guide on MOBAFire. You can change which guides you show and which one to feature at any time.

We'd be happy to hear your feedback, so try the extension out for yourself and leave us a comment with your thoughts! It only takes a couple minutes to set up the extension, so even if you aren't an active streamer, you can still give it a go and see how it looks for yourself.



How to Setup the MOBAFire Companion Extension

Ready to get started and set up the extension for your Twitch account? Here's the quick guide to setting up the extension. It takes only a couple minutes to set up and then it'll update automatically when you release new guides.


Step 1: Install

Start off by clicking here to find the MOBAFire extension. Once you see the extension, hover your mouse over it and click the Install button.

Step 2: Configure


Next, you'll need to configure the extension and connect it to your MOBAFire account. After installing the extension, click the Configure button to continue. You'll be prompted to enter a Twitch key for your account. To create the Twitch key, simply edit your profile and click the Generate Token button in your Twitch Settings. Copy the token into the box on Twitch and click Verify Account.



Step 3: Activate

Go to twitch.tv/YOUR_TWITCH_NAME/dashboard/extensions/manage to activate the extension. Just click the Activate dropdown and select your preferred panel. If you forgot to click the Configure button earlier, you can do it here by clicking the gear icon.

Once you've activated the extension, you'll need to tell it which guides of yours to display. You can set up your selection of guides as well as pick one to feature through your dashboard (https://www.twitch.tv/YOUR_TWITCH_NAME/dashboard/live).

And with that, you're all set up! Take a peek at your channel and see how it looks. We'd be happy to hear your feedback if you have any questions or suggestions. Just leave us a comment here with your thoughts. Thanks for checking out our new Companion extension for Twitch!
Thanks to Nyoike for the sig!

First glance looks like a cool app!

I managed to install the app however when I press the configure button it doesn't show a box for the Twitch Token (generated through MobaFire profile).

am I doing it wrong?

Can't wait to get it set up FeelsGoodMan

Are you seeing the Configure screen pop up, but it's missing the box, or does nothing happen at all when you click Configure?

A screenshot might be helpful as well if it's not too much trouble.

Here's what happens when I press configure or click on the gear icon:
opens up a new window with nothing to click on/no box to insert the Twitch Token.

This is how it looks like when activated:

And when pressing open extension in new window:
https://gyazo.com/648b3ea9278e16121b422f18118ecee8
Left is a popout window which is blank other than "MOBAFire Companion" which sends you to the download link for the app https://www.twitch.tv/ext/nyqzr44abh0thukspz7nsu8lyrv01w-0.0.2
Right is the panel which collapses when closing the left popout window.

Also noticed a typo at the Twitch settings "Steam Link" instead of Stream ^^ Steam would be something else XD

Hope that's enough info provided :3

This is super cool! I do have one piece of feedback to leave, so figure throwing it on this old thread is a smart life choice.

I play multiple champions on stream and so don't want to feature one of the guides more prominently than the other. I opted not to feature a guide, but that leads to it looking like this:

Do you know if it would be possible to have the featured guide as an optional setting? Right now, when a guide isn't featured, it still only uses half the space to display the other guides.

You're right that it's currently designed with a featured guide in mind. I'll talk to the devs and see if we can add some sort of toggle option so it still looks good without a featured guide.
Thanks to Lugignaf for the sig!
