{% hint style="danger" %}
Always enter these details when the server is OFFLINE.\
On startup it needs those credentials to work if its running it will corrupt the plugin.

The tokens are generated ingame using the /linktwitch command per streamer so also for yourself if u wanna be a streamer too! this is not enforced it can run without but you will have less features.

The Return url for OAuth must be <https://twitchlink.mcgsoft.eu/confirm> if its not that it will not work!
