Stream Blitz

Stream Blitz is a service designed to make adding sound effects to your Twitch™ streams feel like deploying serverless functions.

⚠️ This product is still in alpha. If you’d like to be added as an alpha tester, please contact jason@lengstorf.com.

How it works

1. Join Stream Blitz
2. Create a serverless handler
3. Deploy to Netlify
4. Run your sound effect!

Creating a Stream Blitz serverless handler

1. Install the serverless handler util

   # install the handler util
   yarn add @stream-blitz/create-handler
   

2. Create a serverless function:

   const createHandler = require('@stream-blitz/create-handler');
   
   exports.handler = createHandler(() => ({
     name: 'boop', // command to trigger this effect in chat, e.g. `!boop`
     message: 'you triggered !boop Kappa', // sent to the chat by Stream Blitz
     description: 'Information about the command', // shown in Stream Blitz
     audio: 'https://example.org/path/to/sound.mp3', // played in your overlay
     image: 'https://example.org/image.gif', // shown in the overlay
     duration: 10, // how long (in seconds) to show the overlay
   }));
   

   Note: only name is required — the rest of the fields are optional and will be omitted if left out (e.g. you can send a chat message without an overlay and vice versa)

3. Register your serverless function

   Visit your Stream Blitz dashboard to pull in your effects!
