Streamlabs Settings

What this page is

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

How to set it up

1. Streamlabs 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 Streamlabs 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 Streamlabs Settings, with "Configure Streamlabs integration to receive donation notifications." under it.
4. Press Open Streamlabs dashboard. Your ordinary browser opens streamlabs.com at the API settings. The hint on the page says where to look: "The token lives in your Streamlabs dashboard: Settings → API Settings → API Tokens → Your Socket API Token."
5. Copy that token and paste it into Streamlabs Socket Token. The field hides what you type; while empty it prompts "Enter Socket Token (available in Streamlabs API 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 Socket API 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 Streamlabs confirmed the connection, not merely that a token is stored. A wrong or revoked token therefore shows Connection error here rather than looking connected — save a fresh token over it.

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 token is carried across by hand. The button only opens the Streamlabs page, it fetches nothing.
• The account name is not typed in and is not known straight away: the socket token carries none. 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 Streamlabs card under Connections → Monetization, not here.
• No donations, amounts or history are shown — this page is only about access.
