How to Use Twitch Integration on Your 7 Days to Die Server

Twitch Integration is an extension for streamers that allows livestream viewers to interact with the streamer's game through chatting or donations with bits.

This comprehensive guide covers how to install the required Twitch extension, how to connect Twitch to your 7 Days to Die server, and much more.

Before proceeding with this guide, ensure that you're an admin on your 7 Days to Die server.

Note

The default permission level required for Twitch Integration is 90.

Installing the 7 Days to Die Twitch Integration Extension

  1. 1
    Log in to Twitch and go to your Creator Dashboard.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Extensions and search for 7 days.
  3. 3
    Install the 7 Days to Die Integration extension.

Make sure to select an overlay when installing.

Connecting Twitch Integration to Your 7 Days to Die Server

Again, make sure you're an admin; otherwise, this won't work unless the necessary settings have been changed.

    Connect to your 7D2D server.
  2. 2
    Press Esc to open the game menu.

    Select Options → Twitch and click Log in Twitch.
    • A browser will open, automatically redirecting you to a page.
  4. 4
    Click Activate with the code, and then click Authorize on the next page.

Now you should see Connected: [YourTwitch] in the bottom right of the in-game Twitch menu.

Enabling The Extension As A Viewer

Viewers must give access to the 7D2D Twitch extension in order to be able to use it, luckily it's a simple process, do this as a viewer:

  1. 1
    Go to the Twitch Streamers channel.
  2. 2
    Hover over the video and click on the 7D2D extension popup.
  3. 3
    Scroll down to Manage Access and click Grant.

All Viewer Commands

Here are all of the commands viewers can use for your server as per official documentation which can be found here.

**All commands with an added * need to be enabled. To configure settings, use the in-game Twitch menu by going to Actions → View Extra → Allow Action on specific commands.

Troubleshooting

These are a couple somewhat common issues with 7D2D Twitch Integration and how to fix them.

Connection Timed Out

If you're unable to connect and the steps have been followed properly, try these fixes:

  • Check your firewall.
  • Disable browser extensions, or try setting a new default browser.
  • Restart your PC.

The Twitch Extension Must Be Installed And Active On Your Channel

This means the 7D2D extension hasn't been activated on your twitch channel, do this to activate it:

  • Log in to Twitch, go to Creator Dashboard → Extensions → My Extensions, click Activate, and select an overlay for the 7 Days to Die Twitch extension.
