Installing plugins

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

Before you install

• 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 — required plugins must be installed and enabled first.

Install from ZIP

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 configure

After install:

1. Enable the plugin toggle if it is disabled.
2. Open Settings on the plugin card.
3. Complete OAuth or connection steps until status shows Configured.

Missing dependencies show a warning on the card with the required plugin keys.

Updates

When update metadata is available, the Plugins page may offer Update for installed plugins (requires a configured update source in app settings).

Developer mode

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

See Plugin getting started.

Uninstall

Use Uninstall on the plugin card. Built-in official plugins cannot be removed.

Authoring plugins

To build your own plugin, start with Plugin getting started and the Plugin API.
