Streaming Setup

Connect your channel once and Exisle handles the rest — auto-announcements, your streamer role, all synced between the site and Discord.

On the Site Discord Connection

On the Exisle Site

Head to the Streams tab and link your channel — this is what lets Exisle detect when you go live.

Open the Streams page

Connect your platform

Click Connect under whichever platform you stream on — Kick, TikTok, Twitch, or YouTube.

KickConnect account directly

TwitchVerify via code in channel description

TikTokVerify via code in bio

YouTubeVerify via code in channel description

a Type your channel name exactly as it appears — this field is upper/lowercase sensitive — then hit Connect.

b Exisle generates a unique code (e.g. islepilot-P8RJEM). Copy it into your channel's bio / description, then press Verify.

c Once verified you'll see "Connected as [your name]" — you're free to remove the code from your bio at this point, it's no longer needed.

Add the tag to your stream title

Your stream/live title must include the right tag for the platform:

Kick: !Exisle · Twitch: !Exisle · YouTube: !Exisle · TikTok: #Exisle

Link your Discord account

Exisle checks your stream once a minute. While live, you'll automatically receive the server's Streamer role in Discord — but only if your Discord is linked to your site account.

✅ Once connected, going live with the correct tag is all it takes — Exisle detects it automatically and posts the announcement in Discord.

Discord Connection

A few settings on Discord's side need to be switched on so the Exisle bot can actually see your stream status.

📌 Before doing any of this, make sure you've linked your stream on the Exisle Streams page first (see On the Site above) — the Discord steps below won't do anything on their own without that connection in place.

Link Twitch under Connections

Discord Settings → Connections → click the Twitch icon → sign in and authorize. This ties your Discord account to your Twitch channel.

Turn on activity sharing

Settings → Activity Privacy → enable Share my activity. This is what allows Discord (and the Exisle server) to see when you're live.

Enable sharing for the Exisle server

Still in Activity Privacy, scroll to Registered Games → Server Order and make sure the toggle next to Exisle is switched on. This restricts (and confirms) activity sharing specifically for our server.

Turn on Streamer Mode

Settings → Appearance → Streamer Mode → enable Enable Streamer Mode, and turn on Automatically enable Streamer Mode if OBS or XSplit are running. This hides your personal info (email, phone-linked warnings, friend requests, etc.) from viewers automatically whenever you go live.

Go live

Start streaming with the correct title tag (see step 3 on the site setup above). Discord + Exisle pick it up together — you'll get the Streamer role and an auto-announcement in the server.

💡 If the Streamer role never shows up, double check Steps 2 and 3 above first — activity sharing being off is the most common reason Discord doesn't detect a live stream.
