Stream Crystal2
Stream on Twitch, Kick, YouTube or TikTok - players watch you inside the game, like your live and join your giveaways.
1 Add your channel in the game
- In the game press the LIVE button (you can drag it anywhere) and open My stream.
- Click the platform button until it shows yours, paste your channel's link (Ctrl + V) or type its name, and press Add.
- That's it - you are a Live partner. You need a character of level 30 or higher and an account at least 3 days old.
| Platform | What to paste | Watched in game |
|---|---|---|
| Twitch | twitch.tv/yourname or just yourname | yes, the Twitch player |
| Kick | kick.com/yourname | yes, the Kick player |
| YouTube | youtube.com/@yourhandle (or your youtube.com/channel/UC... link) | yes, the YouTube player |
| TikTok | tiktok.com/@yourname | opens in the browser (TikTok allows no player) |
The link of your channel page, not of one video. One channel per platform; add all the platforms you stream on. Remove takes one away. A channel someone else already added can't be added twice - ask the team (Support) if it is yours.
2 Set up OBS (free: obsproject.com)

- Or use a stream key: Twitch Creator Dashboard - Settings - Stream - Primary Stream key (Copy), paste it in OBS.

- Press End live when you stop. Forgot? It ends by itself after 6 hours.
4 The OBS overlay
A transparent box for your stream: how many watch you in the game, the likes from the game and your running giveaway with its countdown - so your stream's viewers see they can join in game.
- In the game: LIVE - Giveaway - OBS overlay. Your own setup page opens in the browser with your link and a Copy button.
- In OBS: Sources - + - Browser, name it "Crystal2", paste the link as URL, Width 380, Height 240, OK.
- Drag it where you like on your scene (a corner works well). It updates by itself every 10 seconds.
5 Giveaways
While you are live: LIVE - Giveaway. Choose what every winner gets, how many winners, how long it runs and how long a viewer must have watched you in the game - then Start giveaway. Viewers join while they watch in the game; when the time is up the website draws the winners and the prizes go to their item collector.
| Prize | Who pays |
|---|---|
| Dragon Coins | You - your own Dragon Coins, for each winner. |
| Item Shop items | You - the shop's price, paid with your Dragon Coins, for each winner. |
| Server prizes | The server - once the team unlocks them for you. |
Your own prizes are taken when the giveaway starts (at most 10,000 Dragon Coins a giveaway) and come back for every winner nobody was - if fewer viewers qualify, or you cancel. Same again repeats your last giveaway in one click.
The Live panel
A small window in your own game while you are live: time on air, who watches in game, likes, your platform's viewers, the giveaway countdown and the latest likes and joins. Open it with LIVE - Giveaway - Live panel; drag it anywhere, its x closes it. Handy when you stream fullscreen and can't look at the Livestream window.
Questions
- I am not under Live now. Press Go live in My stream - starting OBS alone does not tell the game.
- Players see a black player. Your stream is not running on that platform yet, or it is set to "subscribers only" / age-restricted.
- Server prizes are locked. Players who added themselves give their own prizes first; the team unlocks server prizes for regular streamers.
- Someone added my channel. Open a Support ticket in game - the team checks it and moves it to you.
