Noxyr YouTube Integration: Upload Alerts and Music Playback

Upload alerts

Noxyr follows a YouTube channel's public feed. For every new video, it posts once in the channel you chose, with a ping, your own text and a Watch button. New live streams from the channel show up the same way. The feature is free and shares the 25-creator limit with Twitch and Kick.

Your message can use {name}, {title} and {url}, and you can ping a role or @everyone. Only public data is read, and nothing is posted to the channel owner's account.

How it is connected

You do not sign in to Google or paste keys. You give Noxyr a channel and a place to post. The one detail that trips people up is the channel identifier: use the channel link that has /channel/UC... in it. On YouTube, open the channel, press Share, then Copy channel ID. Anyone with Manage Server can add alerts.

Set it up

1. Copy the channel ID. On the creator's channel, use Share, then Copy channel ID.
2. Open Stream alerts. On the dashboard go to Community, then Engagement. Or run /stream add.
3. Fill it in. Pick YouTube as the platform, paste the channel link or ID and choose the alert channel.
4. Pick a ping and message. Optional, but a role makes sure fans see it.
5. Test it. Run /stream test to post a sample with no ping.

Use /stream list to see everything followed and /stream remove to stop.

YouTube in the music bot

This is a different feature. In a voice channel, /play with a song name searches YouTube, and pasting a YouTube or YouTube Music link plays it. YouTube and YouTube Music playlists load whole, in order, and a link to a video inside a playlist starts at that video. If YouTube refuses a track, the bot retries and then tries YouTube Music or SoundCloud before skipping it. Music is free with no vote needed. Read the 24/7 music bot page for the rest.

What it can and cannot do

• It can alert on new videos and new live streams from a channel.
• It can ping a role and use your own wording.
• It cannot post comments, community posts or shorts-only filters. The docs describe uploads and live streams only.
• It cannot do an instant push. Noxyr checks every few minutes, so a short delay is normal.
• It is not a way to download or save videos.

Troubleshooting

The channel is not found

Paste the link with /channel/UC... in it, or the copied channel ID, not a handle or a video link.

New videos do not post

Run /stream list to confirm the channel is followed and the target channel is right. Check Noxyr can view and send messages and embed links there. Then run /stream test.

A song will not play

That is the music feature, not alerts. Try again or paste a different link. The bot already tries other sources before skipping.

Good ways to use the alert

Give upload alerts their own channel and a role that members opt in to, so fans are pinged and everyone else can ignore it. Keep the text short, with the creator name, the title and the link. If a creator both uploads and streams on YouTube, the same channel entry covers new videos and new live streams, so you do not add it twice.

Following more than your own channel is fine: friends, partners and guest creators all count toward the same 25-creator limit. Check the list now and then with /stream list and remove channels that went quiet.

Permissions to check

The alert channel must let Noxyr view the channel, send messages and embed links, and, when you ping a role, mention that role. If a test sample posts but real uploads do not, the problem is the channel entry, not the permissions.

What a post contains

Each alert carries the video title and a Watch button, plus the ping and wording you wrote. Noxyr reads the channel's public feed, so it works from public information only.

Next step

Read the stream alerts docs and the stream alerts bot page. Following Twitch or Kick works the same: Twitch, Kick. Creators can also see the content creator guide.
