## Server-Side Configuration

To enable Twitch Integration on your server, you must first verify that the appropriate permissions are set within your `serverconfig.xml`.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access serverconfig.xml">
    Log in to your [Game Panel](https://panel.freakhosting.com), navigate to the **Files** tab, and open the `serverconfig.xml` file.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Twitch Permissions">
    Locate the `TwitchServerPermission` property.

    * Set the value to `1000` to allow all players to use the integration.
    * Use a lower value (e.g., `90` or `0`) to restrict the integration to specific administrative levels.

    ```xml theme={null}
    <property name="TwitchServerPermission" value="1000"/>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and Restart">
    Save your modifications and **Restart** your server via the console to apply the new permission settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connecting Your Stream

With the server correctly configured, you can now activate the integration directly from the in-game interface.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Twitch Tab">
    While connected to your server, press **Esc** to open the main menu and click on the **Twitch** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Your Account">
    Click the login button and follow the secure browser prompts to authorize the 7 Days to Die application with your Twitch account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fine-Tune Your Settings">
    Review your integration options to establish cooldown periods, point costs for actions, and restricted events to suit your streaming style.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch Integration">
    Click **Start Integration** to begin the live interaction session with your viewers.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  ### Performance & Stability

  High-intensity viewer interactions can place significant strain on server resources. To maintain optimal performance, we strongly recommend establishing **Cooldowns** and **Entity Limits** within your integration settings to prevent overwhelming the server with simultaneous spawns.
</Warning>
