7TV Emotes in Twitch embed on website

[granite mason]

Hello,
I am currently trying to embed Twitch on my website and I was wondering if it is possible to still make 7TV emotes work?

I would really appreciate a short response.
Have a great day.
Best regards,
Noss

can you link a preview maybe? I think if the embed stream includes chat emotes should still work but I'm not sure - if some preview is available I could test or ask our devs

[granite mason]

Can I provide the Link to a preview in private to you?

[junior dock]

sure

i dont think thats possible

@granite mason I don't think this is currently possible due to the fact that the extension works on specific websites:

I see and being embeded inside an iframe does not count, right? The src of the iframe at least would work with the sites: "https://embed.twitch.tv?channel=channelName...."

[junior dock]

it would be technically possible if the extension checked every website but that would be questionable

I'll ask the devs to have a look at it, I know that there are plans to change a lot on the extension which could potentially change it but for now there would have to be some workaround on your side

It is possible but it's a bad practice and it would be bad to check each website if it has Twitch there on our end. In this case I would suggest you to make your own script that edits 7tv emtoes there. Pretty simple.

So yea it won't work currently

Or you can just use an external chat as an embed

and just embed the player there

pretty simple

make a containter that would contain the twitch player and a specific chat overlay/website that would include 7TV emotes and all

try this

https://www.giambaj.it/twitch/jchat/v2/?channel=forsen&animate=true&size=2&font=0

you won't be able to chat sadly

but you can find other ones that allow you

Thanks a lot for the help. Being able to chat, send emotes etc would be important.

I just did a quick google search and found:

Maybe something that could help in future updates? Or maybe even just being able to call some kind of api from inside the website to the 7tv extension to register the current side for the extension would already do the job.

I will try and see if there is something I can do to work around the problem. 🙂

Well we already know how to make this work, And it's pretty simple, But it's a bad practice to make the extention run on EVERY site you visit just to check if there's a Twitch embed

[junior dock]

this is pretty much the issue

[latent hound]

Pretty bad practice

[junior dock]

we have no business accessing sites other than kick/twitch/youtube

and the embed stream is inside the website on a different domain so the extension doesn't have access

[granite mason]

Yeah I understand that. Makes total sense. ^^

I will see what I can find. Thanks a lot for the help and insides

You cannot manipulate an iframe... I forgot that

[latent hound]

yea it's kinda tough ngl

Make your own chat
