Twitch and Kick
One TipPage on Twitch, Kick or both - how sign-in accounts, channels and your team fit together, and what works on each platform.
A TipPage is yours, not your Twitch account’s. Three things are kept apart:
- Your TipPage - the tip page, overlays, queues, bot, settings, history and team. One owner; team members get permissions.
- Sign-in accounts - the Twitch and/or Kick accounts a person signs in with. Link another under Settings -> Platforms and either one lands you in the same place. An account belongs to one person, and you can’t unlink your last one.
- Channels - where your TipPage streams: Twitch, Kick or both, connected by the owner under Settings -> Platforms. A channel belongs to one TipPage. Disconnecting one stops alerts, commands and the bot there; tips and settings are kept. “Needs reconnect” means the platform dropped TipPage’s permissions - reconnect and it carries on.
One person can be on several TipPages (their own, a friend’s as a mod) and switch from the account menu. Team members join by invite link, with either platform, or are added straight from your mods.
What works where
Where a feature exists on both platforms it’s one setting for both.
| Area | Twitch | Kick |
|---|---|---|
| Alerts | Follows, subs, gift subs, resubs, cheers, raids, channel points | Follows, subs, gift subs, renewals, Kicks |
| Alert box | Same rows for both. Per box you can turn a platform off, and switch on a platform badge. Kick subs have no tiers. | |
| Chat widget | Twitch, Kick, or both in one box, from your linked channels. Each platform’s own badges and emotes; a platform mark per message when showing both. | |
| Goal, viewer count, total-followers label | Both (added together), Twitch, or Kick per widget. Kick publishes no sub count, so sub figures are Twitch’s. | |
| Activity feed, celebration, emote rain, custom widgets | Events from both platforms; custom-widget events carry platform. |
|
| Chat announcements | Post in the chat the event came from, with the same template. Tips post in every connected chat. | |
| Chat bot | On/off per platform. Appears as TipPageBot, or your custom bot account (TipPage+) | On/off per platform. Appears as TipPage - no custom bot accounts yet |
| Chat bot commands | Work in both chats. Each command and timer has a platform switch (shown once both are connected). | |
| Variables | Everything | Everything except {emote}, {emotes}, {bttv} and {ffz}, which render empty on Kick (Kick has no source for them; BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ are Twitch-only products). {followage}, {accountage} and the {user.*} stats work on Kick. {uptime}, {title}, {game} and {viewers} read the channel the message came from, or any channel you name ({viewers:kick}, {game:twitch:somebody}) |
Chat moderation, !permit |
Yes, enforced as TipPageBot | Yes, enforced through the streamer’s own Kick connection (reconnect Kick if the moderation permissions are missing). A !permit covers the chat it was typed in |
| Timers’ live check | Yes | Yes |
| Timers’ chat-activity minimum | Yes | Yes - lines in every chat the timer posts in, added together |
| Stream info (title, category) | Yes, with tags | Yes (Kick has no tags) |
| Sub rewards (free message credits) | Yes, per tier | Yes - Kick subs have no tiers, so they earn the tier 1 credits |
| Tip page viewer sign-in | Yes | Yes - a viewer can sign in with either and link the other |
