Welcome to the user guide for "Guilty as Sock!".
This document will guide you through the steps needed to install and play the game on your Twitch stream.
TWITCH CONNECTION SETUP
Connecting to Twitch allows you to use the « Twitch Jurors » feature to start a poll in the chat, and lets viewers vote using !guilty/!g or !notguilty/!ng throughout the trial.
IMPORTANT: This setup must be done before launching the game, and the related options must be enabled by the host (the one hosting the game) for it to work.
Also note that linking channel from MOZILLA FIREFOX won’t work!
From the main menu, click on the gear icon (Settings).
The settings will open. The Twitch feature is located in the purple box.
Click on « Link Channel. » A pop-up will open.
Enter your TWITCH USERNAME and CHANNEL NAME. If they are the same, enter the same information in both fields.

(Password is not required!)
Clicking on « Confirm » will open your default browser asking for authorization to access the chat.
Click « Authorize ». Normally, when you return to the game, to the right of the « Confirm » button, you should see:
