How to Unlink Botrix from Twitch: A Comprehensive Guide

Unlinking Botrix from your Twitch account is a straightforward process, essential for managing your channel integrations. You can disconnect it directly from either the Botrix dashboard or through your Twitch account settings. Generally, the simplest way is to navigate to your Twitch connections and revoke Botrix’s access.

Unlinking Botrix: A Step-by-Step Approach

Here’s a detailed guide on how to remove Botrix from your Twitch channel:

Access Your Twitch Account: Log into your Twitch account on a web browser. Make sure you are using the account that is currently connected to Botrix.
Navigate to Connections: Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen. Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu. In the Settings menu, click on “Connections.”
Locate Botrix: Scroll down the Connections page until you find the “Other Connections” section. This area lists all third-party applications that have access to your Twitch account. Look for “Botrix” in this list.
Disconnect Botrix: Once you find Botrix, click the “Disconnect” button located beside it. Twitch will then prompt you with a confirmation message.
Confirm Disconnection: Review the confirmation message to ensure you’re disconnecting the correct application. Click “Yes” or “Authorize” to finalize the unlinking process.
Verify Disconnection: After completing these steps, Botrix should no longer appear in your “Other Connections” list. You can also check the Botrix dashboard (if you still have access) to confirm that your Twitch channel is no longer linked.

Botrix: Understanding its Role and Impact

Botrix is a versatile tool commonly used by Twitch streamers to enhance viewer engagement. It provides a range of features, including:

Chat Moderation: Automated filtering of inappropriate messages and handling timeouts.
