  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • API Key

• Once updated, ensure you click Save at the top of Streamer.bot, open up your chat, and type the command !ytmSetup

During this process, you'll get a pop-up window in your web browser warning you that the application is unverified, click continue anyways and authorize the app. Once you see the screen with my face on it-close out of your browser. Additionally, YTM Desktop App will give a pop-up with an authorization code, you DON'T need to copy that one either-just close out the window.

SPECIAL NOTE: The items that add to the playlist will be played automatically, as long as that playlist is playing. If it switches over to auto-generating music and you get another request, you'll manually have to click on your playlist again in the app!

Setting up the YouTube Music Extension Auto Runner

The Auto Runner is what checks for the currently playing song and updates the song information since most of the media on YouTube Music doesn't come with that information. It saves them as global variables under ytmAlbumArt, ytmAlbumName, ytmArtist, and ytmSong.

1. On the YTM Auto Runner Action, Right-Click on the trigger and enable it
2. Go to the Settings Tab and then click Timed Actions and Right-Click to Enable YTM Auto Runner
