Are there any plans to add the posibility to create clips from an online stream using the API? ---

That would be interesting… Personally, I’m not sure how useful it would be short of clipping the default time period. I know when I make clips, I like to tailor it to a specific couple of seconds or to include a specific reaction from the streamer. I can’t see how something like that could be effectively accomplished with clipping via API. ---

Well, in my case i develop lots of bots and overlays for streamers and that way we could integrate easily a replay functionality triggered by viewers in the chat. ---
