Twitch Extension Usage


The Heroes Profile Live Twitch Extension is to be used by streamers on Twitch.tv. The extension when paired with the Heroes Profile Uploader allows viewers to toggle on a talent panel to see real time talent information. The Live tool uses temporary files created by Heroes of the Storm on your computer to determine the game state. These temporary files are generally created after talent changes occur, so you will see a slight delay between the in-game state, and the extension.

{warning} In some situations the live processing does not start up even after closing the Heroes Profile uploader after validation. If that occurs for you, try restarting your computer and trying again. If you need any help, please contact us directly at zemill@heroesprofile.com
