Summary
Support your favorite Twitch streamers by automatically lurking in their stream when they go live.
Twitch Lurker allows you to build a list of favorites based on who you follow and open up muted tabs of their stream as soon as they go live.
IMPORTANT: You must have tabs already open with the Twitch player running in order for you to count as a viewer in their viewer count. If the extension loads a new tab with a stream, it won't count you as a viewer until you open the tab and load the player yourself.
How to use the extension:
- Download/Install from the store or sideload it in your browser
- Login with OAuth so we can pull your follow list (don't worry, we don't collect any of your info)
- Click the stars next to channels in your following list to mark them as Favorites
- Order your Favorites list to your liking (the higher in the list, the higher their priority over other Favorites)
- Open two tabs with live streams
- You are now supporting your favorite content creators and gaining free channel points!
