1. Connect YouTube Web#
Select Sources → YouTube → YouTube Web, enter a link, then save and reconnect. Public live chat usually needs no Google sign-in, API key or OAuth tester invitation.
2. Channel or direct live link#
Enter a channel link to check for an active live every 30 seconds. The live-link field fills automatically. Upcoming and ended streams are excluded. For a specific stream, clear the channel field and paste its live link.
3. Members-only, private and unlisted#
Use Sign in in the app to open its separate YouTube session; your normal browser login is not enough. The account must have viewing access. Use Sign out to switch accounts. For hidden/unlisted lives, use the direct link.
4. Browser and background operation#
Chrome, Edge, Cốc Cốc and Opera are supported. Keep your browser updated and Subathon running in the tray. If waiting continues, check that the stream is live, chat is enabled and the signed-in account can watch.
5. Paid events, Jewel and member messages#
Super Chat/Sticker use their supplied amounts; memberships use your saved prices. Jewels can show gifts and trigger throws. Member for N months shows tenure and comments without adding a new payment or timer time.
