# Configure StreamLink

#### Method 1: Dashboard UI (Recommended)

1. In-game, run:

```
/sl ui
```

2. The dashboard will open. Fill in:
   * **Channel Name:** Your Twitch username (e.g., `kentatetsu`)
   * **Access Token:** Paste the token from Step 1
   * **Client ID:** Paste the Client ID from Step 1
3. Click **"Connect"**

#### Method 2: Commands

```bash
# 1. Set up credentials
/sl twitch setup <client_id> <access_token>

# 2. Set your channel
/sl twitch set <your_channel_name>

# 3. Connect
/sl twitch connect
```

**Example:**

```
/sl twitch setup abc123xyz456 def789ghi012
/sl twitch set kentatetsu
/sl twitch connect
```

You should see these messages in chat after executing the command:

```
/sl twitch connect
