Roblox Studio - YouTube Live Chat Integration

Resources Community Resources
#1

Current Version: 1.0

Hey there! Recently, I played the updated DOORS game on Roblox and noticed it featured YouTube live chat integration. However, I couldn’t find many tutorials on how to implement it, nor were there many games using this feature. So, I decided to create a module for it! Please note that the module isn’t perfect, as I’m not an expert Roblox scripter and mostly code in JavaScript. Therefore, there might be some performance issues, but I hope it helps!

Here’s the link to the module:

Module: LiveChatIntegration - Creator Store

Let me show you how it works. It’s really simple.

PS: Please note that this module requires you to have an API KEY for it to work.

local LiveChat = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.LiveChatIntergation)
local chat = LiveChat.New("apiKey", "videoId")

Now you can use the :getMessages function, which returns a table of MessageType objects containing authorId, author, and message values.

local messages = chat:getMessages()
print(messages) --[[ {
[1] = {author="name", message="Content", authorId = "id"}
} ]]

From here, you can do whatever you like with the messages—whether it’s creating a voting system or implementing another feature!

I’m not going to show an example, its really easy. Also if you have any errors, please tell me.

This seems to be a really good and useful module, mostly for youtubers or the developers themselves.

But… if you aren’t considering to show an example, why is it at #resources:community-tutorials
instead of #resources:community-resources ?

I think it’s a better category if you’re not considering to give full examples, even if it’s easy to do (just to follow the rules)

But your work seems incredible from what you shared!
Good work!

Thanks! But… I don’t really know how to move the post, or I could post an example video.

I never had to do it before so I also don’t know…

I think that, or a small working example, should be great considering the category!

Ok here it is, very simple but I did what I could in 15 minutes.

In doors you don’t need to input an api key, do they just use their own api key or is there another way? I tried searching for another way but couldn’t find anything

They probably use their own API Key, as trying to scrap data is against ToS of Youtube.

Please do tell me if someone has suggestions!
