Channel settings
Channel settings apply to the active channel and to every member of it. Your personal settings (profile, appearance, notifications) stay under Settings.
Open Settings at the bottom of the dashboard sidebar and select your channel at the top left of the window. The channel overview opens first; choose an area in the list to its left. A direct short link such as /dashboard/settings/channel/members opens that area over the dashboard home. In a narrow window, tap an area in the full-screen list, then use the back control to return to the list. In your personal profile the selector lists all your channels with your role; picking one switches the dashboard to that channel and opens its overview. With no channel, the selector offers Create channel.
Members, roles and the audit log are separate areas in the window. They have no sidebar entries of their own. Existing bookmarks to the former channel-settings pages redirect to the matching short links, including query parameters.
| Area | Short link | Who sees it | What you can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | /dashboard/settings/channel/general | Every member | See the channel's name, picture and ID; change the name and picture with account:edit. |
| Members | /dashboard/settings/channel/members | members:read | See the members and invitations, invite with members:create, change roles with members:edit. See Members. |
| Roles | /dashboard/settings/channel/roles | roles:read | See the roles; create and change them with roles:edit, delete them with roles:delete. See Roles and permissions. |
| Revenue assumptions | /dashboard/settings/channel/history | history:revenue-read, with stream history on your plan | Read the revenue assumptions; change them with history:revenue-edit. |
| Bots | /dashboard/settings/channel/bots | chat-bots:read | See automatically recognised bots and your channel's bot list; add or remove entries with chat-bots:edit. |
| Keywords | /dashboard/settings/channel/keywords | history:read, with stream history on your plan | See and test tracked keywords; add, change or remove them with history:keywords-edit. |
| Audit log | /dashboard/settings/channel/audit-log | audit-log:read | Read and export the channel's audit log. See Audit log. |
| Danger zone | /dashboard/settings/channel/danger | The channel owner (account:delete); while the channel waits to be dissolved, every member | Dissolve the channel now, in 7 days or in 30 days, or cancel a scheduled dissolution. |
Each area has its own address, and a link to an area you may not open shows No access. While the channel waits to be dissolved, the channel list shows Danger zone; keys, tokens and billing remain locked.
Header
The channel overview shows the channel picture and name, and chips for:
- the channel's plan;
- the connected platforms (with
connections:read; links to Connections); - the number of members (with
members:read; links to the Members area); - your role in the channel.
It also shows the Channel ID with a copy button; after copying, the button shows a green check for a moment. In Streamer Mode the ID is covered with dots in the shape of the ID, the header shows a Streamer mode chip, and a line says that copying still works; the eye reveals the ID. On narrow screens the ID moves onto its own line and a long ID is shortened in the middle; copying always copies the full ID. Go to connections opens the connections page when you may read it.
Name and picture
The channel's name and picture appear in the account switcher, the header above, Settings → Profile → My channels, the channel chips under Security → Sign-in, member lists and mails. When they come from a platform, that platform's icon sits as a small badge on the picture in the channel overview, in this area and under My channels.
The Name & picture area shows one card, built like the profile card in Settings → Profile: the picture, the name and where they come from (for example Twitch · @cruex, or Own details). Changing them needs account:edit (owner and administrator by default) and a signed-in browser session, not an API key or a popout token. Without account:edit the card is read only: it shows the source without a choice and says who may change it.
Choose under Name & picture from. The list shows each of the channel's Twitch, YouTube and Kick connections with its platform icon (for example Twitch · cruex); Own details - Set name and picture yourself - sits below a divider. The connections are listed for members who may also read the connections (connections:read); otherwise the list shows the current source and Own details only.
-
A connected channel - one of the channel's Twitch, YouTube or Kick connections (Spotify cannot be chosen). The name is that channel's name on the platform, the picture its profile picture there. Both follow the platform: they are refreshed when you connect or reconnect and when Lumio starts. If the platform picture cannot be shown, the first letter of the name appears instead.
-
Your own details - a name you type and, optionally, a picture you upload. When you switch to your own details, the current name is kept as a starting point and the picture starts as the first letter of the name.
- The name needs 2 to 50 characters; spaces at the start and end are removed, and invisible or control characters are not allowed.
- The picture is a PNG, JPEG or WebP file of at most 5 MB and 16 megapixels. Lumio re-encodes it and removes all metadata (such as location). You can upload up to 10 pictures per hour. Remove the picture to show the first letter of the name again.
With own details the card adds two rows: Channel name with a field and Save (Enter saves too; a name outside the rules shows why under the label), and Channel picture with Upload picture and, once there is a picture, Remove. Upload picture opens the same dialog as the profile picture: drop a file or choose one (a file of the wrong type or over 5 MB is refused right there), then crop it round. Drag the picture or use the arrow keys to move it, the slider, the mouse wheel or + and − to zoom, and Rotate to turn it by 90°. Three previews show the result; Apply uploads it.
Switching back to a connected channel asks first and deletes an uploaded picture. If you disconnect the connection that supplies the name and picture, the channel switches to your own details with that channel's last name and the first letter as picture, and the owner gets a notification that links here. New channels start with your own details.
Every change is recorded in the audit log as account:identity_changed. While the channel waits to be dissolved, nothing here can be changed.
History · revenue assumptions
Lumio estimates the revenue of each stream in the stream history from its events and the values in this area. The Twitch and Kick sub prices, Prime, Bits and KICKs appear as fixed USD values with a lock and source. They cannot be edited here and are converted at the rate of the stream day. KICKs carry a warning because their $0.01 value is not published by Kick.
The YouTube section also shows the channel's Analytics revenue status when YouTube is connected: on after the Partner Program check succeeds, unlocked while that check is pending, or a hint to reconnect with the revenue permission, join the Partner Program, or enable the YouTube Analytics API in your Google app. The hints appear here and on a report's revenue card, not in general connection notices. You need history:revenue-read to see this area and YouTube's figures; every member with that permission can see them. YouTube values normally arrive 2–3 days after the stream. Until then the report shows the Lumio estimate. See YouTube Analytics API setup.
| Locked value | USD amount |
|---|---|
| Twitch Tier 1 / 2 / 3 sub (also used for gifts) | $4.99 / $9.99 / $24.99 |
| Twitch Prime | $4.99 |
| Twitch Bit | $0.01 |
| Kick sub (also used for gifts) | $4.99 |
| Kick KICK | $0.01 (check against your payout) |
| Row | Fields |
|---|---|
| Twitch · your share | 50 % standard, 60 % Plus Program, 70 % legacy contract, or any value |
| Twitch · ads | CPM (empty = no amount), ad share, ad-free viewers |
| Kick · subs and gifts | Your share; the USD $4.99 sub value is locked |
| Kick · ads | CPM (empty = no amount), ad share, ad-free viewers; reconnect Kick if ads:read is missing |
| YouTube · ads | CPM (empty = no amount), mid-rolls per hour (empty = no ad line), ad share and ad-free viewers; pre-rolls are excluded |
| YouTube · Super Chats, Super Stickers and memberships | A separate creator share for each, 70 % by default |
| YouTube · membership levels | Up to six level names with a price in the payout currency; drag to reorder or use the keyboard |
| Payout currency | Currency for the editable money fields; fixed USD values are converted at the stream-day ECB rate |
The level list shows how often Lumio saw each name in stored YouTube membership events. Names seen but not yet priced appear as one-click suggestions; Add level lets you enter a name manually. A membership with an unknown or unpriced level uses the cheapest entered level and is marked as an assumption in the report. Without a level price, memberships remain unpriced. Membership milestones count as paid months.
Save writes the editable assumptions; Reset discards your unsaved changes. Both stay off until you change something. The change applies to new and past reports and is recorded in the audit log as account:history_revenue_settings_updated. Empty ad CPM fields leave their ad lines without an amount. An empty YouTube mid-roll rate leaves out the YouTube ad line entirely.
Without history:revenue-edit the tab is read only: a note at the top says who may change the values, every field is locked, and there are no level suggestions, reorder handles or save bar.
In Streamer Mode the money fields are covered until you reveal them.
Bots
The Bots area shows bots Lumio recognises automatically from platform bot badges, its curated list and your connected Twitch or Kick bot account. It also shows the bot accounts your channel has marked. The account list supports Twitch, Kick and YouTube; entries are tied to a stable platform user ID or YouTube channel ID, never just a display name. The Viewer List puts these accounts in Bots even when they are moderators or VIPs. Stream History leaves their messages out of chat totals and top lists, but still shows their link and keyword posts with a bot label.
With chat-bots:edit, choose a platform and enter a name or @handle to mark an account, or use the action on a chat user's card. Lumio looks up the platform account before saving; a name that cannot be resolved adds nothing. An existing entry is not duplicated. Remove a mark from the account list when you no longer want it. Automatically recognised bots are read only. Without edit permission, you can inspect both lists but cannot change them.
Marking a bot starts a background recalculation of retained stream sessions whose chat logs are still complete. Their bot-filtered figures can decrease. Removing a mark stops that mark from classifying future messages; badge, curated-list or own-connection recognition may still apply. Already recalculated session figures are not restored. Real list changes appear in the audit log as account:bot_list_updated.
Keywords
The Keywords area tracks up to 50 account-wide chat terms for Stream History → Chat insights. Each row shows the term, match mode, case setting and its count in the latest finalized stream when known. Choose Whole word, Contains or Regex. Whole word needs word boundaries on both sides; Contains finds the text anywhere; Regex uses Rust regex syntax. Matching ignores case by default, and you can change that per entry. A whole-word or contains term may have at most 100 characters; a regex may have at most 200, may not match empty text and must compile within the 1 MiB size limit. Regex look-around and backreferences are unavailable.
Test pattern checks a term against a sample of up to 500 characters using the same server matcher without saving it. It shows every matching span or the validation error and stays available with read-only access. The test permits 30 calls per minute. Saving, changing match or case, and removing an entry require history:keywords-edit; history:read is enough to open the tab and test. A duplicate term with the same mode is not added twice.
One message counts once for each keyword it matches, even when the text appears more than once. Bot posts count and are labelled. When a leading #ad or similar token matches a tracked keyword, the keyword wins and that message is not also counted as a command. A list change recounts finalized sessions in the background only while their full chat log is retained; older sessions without a complete log keep their frozen figures. Real changes appear in the audit log as account:history_keywords_updated.
Danger zone · dissolve the channel
Only the channel owner sees this area (while the channel waits to be dissolved, every member sees it, see below). Dissolving deletes the channel in Lumio with its overlays, automations and memberships, and with them the channel's chat history, events, the stream reports in Stream History, chatter profiles, moderator notes and the moderation and AutoMod logs. The channel's platform connections (Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Discord, Spotify) are deleted with their access tokens; for YouTube, Lumio also revokes its Google access. Your Lumio sign-in with Twitch, YouTube or Kick belongs to your profile, not to the channel, and stays until you delete your profile. Your accounts at those platforms themselves are not affected. With In 7 days or In 30 days, nothing is deleted until the date; until then you can cancel.
Dissolving works like deleting your profile:
- Choose when on one of three cards: Now (final, no way back), In 7 days or In 30 days. Each card names its date; In 30 days is preselected. The sentence under the cards says what the choice means.
- Type the channel name exactly. A check mark shows when it matches.
- Hold the button for 2 seconds. It is named after your choice: Dissolve permanently now, Dissolve in 7 days or Dissolve in 30 days. Letting go early cancels. With Animations in Lumio set to Off there is no holding; the button works with a click once the name matches.
- Sign in again in the Is it really you? dialog, as described in Account security. The dialog repeats the date you chose, or that the channel is dissolved right away. If you confirmed in the last 10 minutes, this step is skipped.
With Now the channel is dissolved and the dashboard opens without a channel selected.
- While a paid plan runs, the button is locked. The note names the date the paid period ends; cancel the plan first under Subscription & billing.
- Dissolving works only in a signed-in browser session, not with an API key or a popout token.
While the channel waits to be dissolved
With In 7 days or In 30 days the channel is suspended until the date:
- Every member gets a mail naming the channel and the date.
- While the channel is selected, a red banner sits fixed at the top of every dashboard page and the fullscreen editors: This channel will be dissolved on … Bots, overlays, widgets and API keys are off until then. It cannot be closed and takes its own space, so nothing lies under it, on phones too. The owner sees Cancel dissolving › in it, which opens this area. Popouts and OBS show no banner; they are switched off.
- The account switcher and Settings → Account label the channel being dissolved.
- Members can still open their profile, security and developer settings, create or switch to another channel, or leave this one, but they cannot use the channel: its pages show Channel is being dissolved with the date instead of their content.
- This tab shows Will be dissolved on … to every member. Only the owner gets the button to cancel.
- API keys, service keys, popout links, overlay and widget links and extensions of the channel stop working. They are not deleted; after a cancel they work again.
- Bots leave the channel's chats and Discord servers. Automations, bot modules and incoming platform events stop. No new subscription can be bought.
- You get a reminder mail seven days before the end of a 30-day period and one day before the end of a 7-day period. On the date Lumio dissolves the channel.
The owner can cancel the dissolution at any time before the date: hold Cancel dissolving on this area for 2 seconds (the banner link leads here). Letting go early cancels; with Animations in Lumio set to Off it is a plain button. No new Is it really you? check is needed. Everything works again right away, and bots rejoin by themselves. Members are told by mail. If your own profile is scheduled for deletion too, a note asks you to cancel the profile deletion first and links to it. Once the date has passed the dissolution is already running and can no longer be cancelled.
You can also reach this area from Settings → Account: the link Channel settings › Danger zone next to a channel you own opens it. If that channel is not the active one, Lumio switches to it first.
