Social Feeds watches your organization’s YouTube and Twitch channels. When a new video goes up or a Twitch channel goes live, SquadVault fires a Flow event, and a Flow posts it to Discord. Open it under Connections → Social Feeds in the sidebar, from the Social Feeds card on Integrations, or search for “YouTube” or “Twitch” with Ctrl K. Anyone who can read Flows can see the page. Members who can create Flows can add and remove channels.

Add a channel

  1. Open Social Feeds.
  2. Pick the platform: YouTube or Twitch.
  3. Paste the channel:
    • YouTube: a channel URL, an @handle, or a channel ID (UC…)
    • Twitch: the channel name or URL (twitch.tv/yourteam)
  4. Click Add channel.
If a YouTube handle cannot be resolved, paste the channel ID instead. You find it in the channel URL (youtube.com/channel/UC…).
Videos and streams that already exist when you add a channel are never announced. Only uploads published, and streams started, after that point trigger an event.
If Twitch is greyed out, Twitch is not configured on this server yet. A server admin needs to set TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET from a Twitch developer application.

Post to Discord

Social Feeds does not post on its own. Use a Flow:
  1. Go to Flows → Templates and activate Announce New Social Post (uploads) and/or Announce Twitch Stream (going live).
  2. Pick the Discord channel to post in. The templates use your log channel by default.
  3. Adjust the message if you like, for example with {{feed.displayName}}, {{post.title}}, {{stream.title}}, or {{stream.gameName}}.
Because they are normal Flows, you can add conditions (for example only one channel), embeds, or a webhook action.

What you will see

  1. Status: how many channels are connected and whether checks are failing
  2. Channels: add form and the list of connected channels, with the last check time or the last error
  3. How it works: a shortcut to the Flow templates
YouTube channels are checked about every 5 minutes, Twitch channels about every minute. If a check fails (for example the channel was deleted), the row shows the error and SquadVault retries on the next check.

Tips

  • YouTube Shorts count as uploads and are announced like regular videos.
  • Twitch past-broadcast VODs are not announced, since the live stream already was. Highlights and uploads are.
  • Each video and each stream is announced at most once, even if checks overlap.
  • Removing a channel stops announcements immediately. Adding it again does not re-announce old videos.
  • TikTok and X are not supported yet.
