# Linking to Twitch

You can link talkbot to a twitch channel so that talkbot will read out the chat messages from that twitch stream.

Examples are below:

Read out subscriber messages from the twitch channel <https://www.twitch.tv/myselfwhat>

```
!twitch permit myselfwhat subs
```

Read out moderator messages from the twitch channel <https://www.twitch.tv/myselfwhat>.

```
!twitch permit myselfwhat mods
```

Read out messages for wootosmash from <https://www.twitch.tv/chocotaco>

```
!twitch permit chocotaco wootosmash
```

To unlink from that twitch unfollow from talkbot or **!unpermit**

```
!twitch unpermit myselfwhat wootosmash
```

### Rate limiting

Where a twitch channel that has a very busy chat is linked to talkbot that chat will be rate limited and only a smaller number of messages will be read out.
