StreamElements Settings

What this page is

Connections → Monetization → StreamElements is where StreamElements is given its JWT token so donations reach the app. The page holds the token and a badge saying whether StreamElements has confirmed the connection.

How to set it up

1. StreamElements does not come with the app. If the card is missing from Connections → Monetization, install it first from Module Catalog → Add-ons.
2. Press Connect StreamElements on the card. On an already connected card the same page opens with Configure. The arrow in the top left, Back, returns to the list.
3. The page is headed StreamElements Settings, with "Configure StreamElements integration to receive donation notifications." under it.
4. Press Open StreamElements account. Your ordinary browser opens streamelements.com at the channels page. The hint spells out the route: "The token lives in your StreamElements account: account icon → channel name → enable "Show secrets" on the channel row → copy the JWT."
5. Copy that token and paste it into StreamElements JWT Token. The field hides what you type; while empty it prompts "Enter JWT Token (available in StreamElements Channel Settings)".
6. Press Save Settings in the top right corner. The button reports on itself — Saving…, then Saved, or Error if the token was not stored. After a successful save the page closes itself and returns to the list of services.
7. Saving an empty field when no token is stored yet is refused with "Please enter your JWT token."
8. Reopen the page to check. The field is empty on purpose — a stored token is never shown back. That it exists is said by the prompt inside the field: "Token saved — leave empty to keep it". Leaving it empty and pressing Save Settings keeps the stored token; to replace it, type the new one over.
9. Connection Status at the top carries the badge: Disconnected (no token, or the connection dropped), Connecting…, Connection error, Sign-in required, or the connected state naming the account. It refreshes by itself every few seconds while the page is open.
10. A green badge means StreamElements confirmed the connection, not merely that a token is stored. An expired or revoked JWT therefore shows Connection error here rather than looking connected — copy a fresh token and save it over the old one.

What it cannot do

• The token cannot be read back out of the app: the field shows nothing and has no reveal control.
• There is no browser sign-in — the JWT is carried across by hand. The button only opens the StreamElements page, it fetches nothing.
• The account name is not typed in and is not known straight away. The card in the list says as much — "Account name appears after the first donation".
• There is no separate "accept donations" switch on this page.
• Disconnecting and Remove connection (the bin icon) are on the StreamElements card under Connections → Monetization, not here.
• No donations, amounts or history are shown — this page is only about access.
