Twitch - Chat-n-Stream -When user is not live

Hello! I am using the twitch - Chat-n-Stream plugin and it’s been working great! I was wondering if it would be possible to allow an image to be set(preferably dynamically referenced) when the user is not live on their stream. That way instead of a dead black twitch stream there can be something to fill that space? Thank you!

Hi, @nwpayiatis10. Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to set the user’s offline image (static or dynamic) from the Twitch plugin side. It is because the plugin is only showing the stream data that he receives from Twitch.
Thus, to manage what offline image your stream audience will see, instead of a black screen when the streamer is offline, you have to set it on your own in the “Preferences/Channel/Video Player Banner” on the Twitch side, user Profile.

I hope it helps.
Regards,

Thanks for the response! That’s what I figured. For further context is this plugin based on twitch’s video embed docs(https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/video-and-clips/)?

@nwpayiatis10,

Yes, it is correct. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,
