How to install and set up
Stream Announcer

Step by step: from downloading the plugin to your first automatic announcement in your Telegram channel.

What you need

Before you start

🪟

Windows + OBS

OBS Studio installed on Windows. Don't have OBS yet? Get it from obsproject.com.

📣

Telegram channel

A channel or group where announcements will go. You need the rights to add the bot there as an admin.

🔑

Activation key

A key like SA-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Get one on streamannouncer.com or via Telegram: @rstar2808.

Step by step

7 steps to your first announcement

1 Install

Download and run the installer

Click "Download" at the top of the page and run StreamAnnouncer-Setup.exe.

  • The installer finds the OBS folder and installs the plugin.
  • It needs administrator rights (Windows prompt) — that's normal.
  • OBS is closed during install and reopened at the end.
Antivirus/SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher — choose "More info → Run anyway".

4 Bot to channel

Add the bot as an admin

Open your channel → Manage channel → Administrators → Add and find the bot @aGStaR_bot.

  • Grant the "Post messages" permission.
  • For a group — add the bot as a member and make it an administrator.
Without admin rights the bot can neither bind the channel nor publish announcements.

5 Binding

Bind the channel with /bind

In the plugin window click "Bind channel" — a code appears. Post this message in your channel:

/bind YOUR-CODE

  • The plugin detects the channel and shows "Bound".
  • The code is valid for 10 minutes — get a new one with the button if it expires.
Binding is done once. To switch channels, unbind the current one and bind a new one.

✅ Bound: "My stream channel"
6 AI (optional)

Train the agent on your style

On a Pro plan — click "🤖 Train agent…" and answer a short questionnaire: topic, tone, favorite phrases. The AI will write announcements in your style.

  • It all works without AI — you just write the text yourself.
  • AI limit — 15 generations a day.

Start streaming — the announcement posts itself

Click "Start Streaming" in OBS. The plugin opens the announcement window: type a few words (or hit AI), optionally add an image and a button, and click "Publish".

  • You see a preview of the post before sending.
  • The post goes to your bound channel with formatting and a button.

Troubleshooting

The plugin isn't in the "Tools" menu

Make sure OBS was closed during install and reopened. Reinstall the plugin as administrator. OBS must be 64-bit.

The channel won't bind after /bind

Check that the bot @aGStaR_bot is added to the channel as an administrator with post permission. The code is valid for 10 minutes — get a new one. Post the command in exactly the channel you want to bind.

The announcement doesn't reach the channel

Check that the channel is bound (green status) and the bot has permission to post. If the channel was unbound or the bot lost its rights — bind again.

The key won't activate

Check that the key is copied in full (format SA-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). One key works on one PC at a time — close the plugin on the other computer. Still stuck? Message @rstar2808.

How to move settings to a new PC

Enter the same product key and sync key on the new PC — your settings and AI style are pulled from the server automatically.
