Installing pluginsCopy Anchor Link

Official plugins (Core, Bot, Twitch, YouTube, OBS, TTS, WebSocket) ship with Stream Kit. You can install additional plugins from a .zip distribution.

Before you installCopy Anchor Link

• Only install plugins from sources you trust. Installed plugins run with full access to Stream Kit and your system.
• Check the plugin manifest key and version.
• Note any dependencies in the manifest — required plugins must be installed and enabled first. optionalDependencies are used when available but aren't required.

Install from ZIPCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Plugins in the sidebar.
2. Click Install plugin (or drag a .zip onto the Plugins page).
3. Select the plugin .zip file.
4. If a plugin with the same key exists, choose Replace to upgrade or cancel.

Stream Kit extracts the bundle, registers the manifest, and loads the plugin entry (dist/index.js).

Enable and configureCopy Anchor Link

After install:

1. Enable the plugin toggle if it is disabled.
2. Click Configure on the plugin card to open the plugin's settings page.
3. Complete OAuth or connection steps and click Save until status shows Configured.

Missing or disabled dependencies are highlighted on the card and listed on the plugin's settings page.

UpdatesCopy Anchor Link

When update metadata is available, the plugin card and the plugin's settings page offer Update for installed plugins (requires a configured update source in app settings).

Developer modeCopy Anchor Link

With Developer mode enabled in app settings, installed plugins can enable Dev mode on their settings page to watch a local folder instead of the bundled dist/ — for plugin authors only.

See Plugin getting started.

UninstallCopy Anchor Link

Use the remove button on the plugin card, or Remove plugin on the plugin's settings page. Built-in official plugins cannot be removed.
