Twitch Extension Status

Hey adventurers!

The time has come to bid a fond farewell to the current iteration of the D&D Beyond Twitch Extension. While the tool has had a good ride since its launch in October of 2018,  it's now time for us to look ahead and consider even better ways to serve you, the creators in our community. Here are a few brief details regarding the sunsetting of the current extension:

Why did the extension stop working?
Twitch recently changed some internal policies, and our extension, which we hadn't updated, was deactivated by the platform. As content creators' needs have changed, as D&D's rules have changed, and as our tools and services have changed, our original Twitch extension wasn't meeting our standards for quality, nor did it represent what today's D&D Beyond toolset can do. Rather than putting bandages on top of bandages to maintain the current extension, we decided to allow the extension to retire.

Will the extension come back?
Short answer: YES! While we wish our timing had better aligned with Twitch's changes, instead of developing a new version of the Twitch extension, we've put our sights on a new set of tools to support creators who want to use D&D Beyond in their game streams and content.

Thank you for using the Twitch extension these past few years, and we are grateful for your patience as we chart a new course for game streams and content tools. We will keep the community posted on major milestones as the work progresses.
