Twitch Oauth
At first setup, this option will not be visible because it is a private login key. It is very important you do not share this code with anyone as they would be able to use it to post messages as the account it is associated with. This is the reason it is highly recommended to use an alternate account. To generate a new oauth key, first login to the account you wish to use as the separate account. Then visit the Twitchapps and generate a new key.

Click "I understand" in the chat settings to show the Oauth key box. Then paste in the oauth key with the "oauth:" text at the beginning. Make sure you click "Hide Oauth" to hide this from viewers.

Auto Connect
This is generally turned on unless you are having trouble with your connection. Leave this off until you know your connection works. Once you are able to connect using the "Connect" button at the bottom, you can turn this option on so that you connect automatically when you launch a new game.

Whispers
In this next section, there are some settings for whispering. Unfortunately, the bot due to limitations on twitch cannot directly respond to viewers through whispers. However, if a viewer responds to the bot via whisper it will listen.

The first setting on means any whispers from viewers will get their message output through the main chat room. With this off, it will try to send it to a separate room if it is available/turned on.

The next two settings just set whether whispers are allowed/required.

Connection
At the bottom of the chat settings you have either have the Disconnect/Reconnect button or the Connect button. These are meant for the initial connection setup and for debugging. On first setup, after you have filled in the Channel, Username, and Oauth you can press the "Connect" button to test your settings. It will post a small Green "Connected" text above the newly appeared "Disconnect" and "Reconnect" buttons if it worked. Otherwise, hop into a new a game to troubleshoot your connection.

In game, on your bottom toolbar you will have a window for "Toolkit". Open this up and check the output of the text box. If you see no output, you do not have a connection and need to reconnect. If you see Invalid Nick, that means your Oauth key is invalid/expired and you must generate a new one. If your game crashes upon connecting, double check all your chat settings.

A successful connection will output anything you say into chat into the "Toolkit" window. An easy command to test if it is working is "!modsettings".
