Getting Started with the 7TV Extension (Onboarding Tour)

Just installed the 7TV browser extension? You’ll be greeted with an intuitive onboarding tour designed to personalize your experience — whether you're a chatter, moderator, or streamer.

This first-time setup helps you:

  • Choose which platforms to use 7TV on

  • Answer a few quick questions about how you use chat

  • Configure chat visuals, behavior, and moderation tools


Personalized Setup

After selecting your platforms (like Twitch, YouTube [Currently Unavailable], or Kick), the extension will ask a series of questions to tailor your setup. Depending on how you answer (e.g. “Are you a streamer?”, “Do you chat a lot?”), it’ll guide you through suggested settings for your role.

💡 The onboarding goes into depth on every setting it presents, so you don’t have to worry about understanding everything in advance. Just follow along, and you’ll get a quick breakdown of what each toggle does and how it impacts your chat.


Things You’ll Configure

Here’s an overview of what you’ll be able to set up within the onboarding:

  • Platforms – Enable 7TV on Twitch or Kick

  • Chat Style – Tweak how messages are displayed and how fast they load

  • Notifications – Choose how you’re alerted when someone mentions you

  • Streamer Tools – Emote filtering, performance optimizations, and more

  • Mod Tools – Enable the mod slider for easy moderation

  • Chat Power Features – Duplicate message bypass, auto channel point claim, quick send, and autocomplete tools

  • Compatibility Check – Optionally scan for conflicting extensions

You can skip any part of the tour or come back and tweak everything later.


Supporting 7TV (Optional❤️)

At the end of the tour, you’ll be invited to consider subscribing to 7TV. Subscriptions unlock perks like:

  • Animated avatars

  • Name paints

  • Personal emotes

  • Badges and cosmetics

But more importantly, your subscription helps fund the service entirely.
7TV is a community-run platform with no outside investment — subscriptions help cover server costs, development, moderation, and everything in between. Supporting us means keeping the platform independent and focused on what matters: you.


After Setup

Once you finish onboarding:

  • You’ll be redirected to your platform of choice

  • Your settings will be saved automatically

  • You can join the Discord, leave a review, or follow us for updates

To make changes later, just:

  1. Click the 7TV icon in the top right of Twitch or Kick.

  2. Access full settings anytime, no reinstall required.
