Each of the game settings comes with a pop up description of their function. Holding the mouse over the number field will display a brief explanation.

In order to connect Chat Wars with your channel you must enter your Channel Name in the Twitch Config settings. The Cheer and VIP settings are discussed further below and do not need to be altered for quick evaluations.

Sy_ChatWars runs as a separate game in the background while you stream. It can be added to your streaming platform as a “window source”. To make it transparent, the background can be chroma keyed out with the colour code #0000FF00 (bright green). For Streamlabs, a Similarity of 175 and a Smoothness of 50 works well.

The game is designed for 1080p resolution and 16:9 layout. Game play is primarily at the edges of the screen. This allows you to set Sy_ChatWars as a topmost widget so viewers can see their characters while keeping your primary streaming space clear.
