Hi, I understand bot name questions get asked a lot, but I couldn’t find my scenario. I have two accounts, one main and one bot account. I followed these steps: 1 I created an application on my bot twitch account. 2 I took the client ID from that application to use with my oauth call to [https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize) 3 I used the access\_token I get back (after allowing access to my main account) 4 I run my bot, it connects properly 5 The username for the bot is still my main account username (I do see my bot’s name on my main account under settings -\> connections) My auth url for getting the bot access\_token: [https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client\_id=${this.botClientID}&redirect\_uri=http://localhost:3000/botAuth&response\_type=token&scope=${this.scope}](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=%24%7Bthis.botClientID%7D&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/botAuth&response_type=token&scope=%24%7Bthis.scope%7D) If someone would be so kind to enlighten me I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance ---

A bot account is the same as a user account. So you just need to go thru the oAuth flow whilst logged in to your bot account. Rather than going thru the oAuth flow as you. ---

Barry, you legend you. I was running my bot through the same browser my main account was logged into. When I ran it via an incognito window it worked. Follow up question is then, how do I get permissions for it to actually moderate my main account channel? It doesn’t seem to have permission currently. Even though it’s visible under my connections and I called the oath with scope chat:read+chat:edit+channel:moderate. ---

I found it. Mark the bod as a moderator on your main profile. Thanks again Barry. ---
