Four clips, one hunt, zero clicks

On the morning of 6 September 2026 the channel paulaodamassa___ streamed an EK 700 hunt in Forgotten/Outer Crypt, four-man party, on the world Honbra. During the session his main character levelled up four times. These are the four clips that came out of it — none asked for by command, none pressed by hand:

06:41, 07:25, 08:38 and 09:51 in the morning (BRT). The streamer never typed !clip. Each level up of his main fired the capture on its own, and he found the clips afterwards.

How we know they were automatic

Every clip we create carries an origin tag. These four are tagged auto:levelup — the tag only the main-character level-up trigger writes. A !clip typed in chat would record who asked for it; the enemy-kill auto-clip would record a different tag.

The timestamps line up with Twitch's own clock to the second: our row says 09:41:11 and Twitch says 09:41:10 for the clip creation. Same event, seen from both sides.

And all four are 29.9 seconds long. That is not our choice — it is Twitch's fixed window, which brings us to the part nobody likes to spell out.

What cannot be done, and why we say so

The Twitch clip API takes no duration. You ask for a clip and you get a window of roughly 30 seconds ending at the instant you asked. There is no "one minute starting at the death" — that is not a limitation of ours, it is the API.

Because the window is fixed and looks backwards, the only thing that matters is the delay between the event happening and us noticing. Death and level up differ there:

  • Death carries the real in-game timestamp. We can measure the delay and refuse what arrived too late — and we do. It works on global Tibia and on Rubinot.
  • Level up carries no timestamp at all: the game never publishes when a level was gained, so the only instant we know is our own scan. On global Tibia that scan runs every 15 seconds and the clip still contains the moment — which is exactly why the four clips above exist, Honbra being a global world. On Rubinot it runs every 3 minutes, and the clip would capture a stretch unrelated to the level.

That is why the automatic level-up clip is enabled on global Tibia only. We would rather not clip than hand you a clip of the wrong moment — a wrong clip is worse than none, because it looks like it worked.

Who gets it

The auto-clip is a paid feature: it is for Tibia Watch Plus subscribers and our official partner streamers — every partner has Watch Plus included, so both groups come through the same door.

With that in place, three things are still needed — and none of them is a bot setting:

  1. A connected Twitch account on Tibia Watch, with clip-creation permission. If you connected long ago and the bot asks you to reconnect, that permission is what is missing.
  2. A character marked as main on your watch. The trigger is the main character, not the whole account.
  3. The stream being live. Twitch does not clip an offline channel — the clip comes from whatever is on air at that instant.

There is no switch for this on the bot page, because it does not depend on the bot: streamers who never configured the Watch TW Bot get the clips too.

What else Plus does with clips

The automatic death and level-up clip joins what was already there: !clip in chat, the automatic clip on enemy kill (that one does have a toggle on the bot page, under Clips) and automatic publishing of clips to Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts with the connected accounts.
