Hey friends!
I just wanted to drop a note regarding a new feature of Extensions which we’re referring to as “Twitch Actions”.
Twitch Actions allow your extensions to prompt the user to perform first-party functionality. The first action we’ve implemented—by popular request—is the followChannel
function. This will allow your extensions to prompt a viewer to follow specified channels.
A good example use-case for this would be an e-sports scenario where the channel is broadcasting gameplay between competing teams of players. Your extensions can now enable viewers to follow players directly from the current channel.
