Swordline — Your workspace behind the stream

Your workspace, connected to Twitch Swordline brings chat, moderation, live tools and team coordination into one workspace. Chat messages and moderation actions use your connected Twitch account and its channel role.

Giving a separate bot moderator rights grants that bot a channel role. Connecting Swordline authorizes the workspace to use specific Twitch functions through your account. OAuth permissions and channel roles are separate: connecting does not make you a moderator or unlock broadcaster-only actions.

Why does Twitch ask for these permissions?

Twitch currently asks for the full set below in one connection, even if you only use some features. Granting access allows those functions; it does not enable every automation or activate Creator Plus collection.
