Stream Versus — User Guide

A short guide for hosts and opponents to start a live “battle”.

What you need

A Chaturbate account
Full Chaturbate Events API URL (e.g. https://eventsapi.chaturbate.com/events/<username>/<key>/)
OBS Studio or other streaming software
Stable internet connection

Click “Create session” onstreamversus.com
Paste your full Chaturbate Events API URL (for example,https://eventsapi.chaturbate.com/events/<username>/<key>/). We will detect your username and token automatically.
No token yet? Create one here:https://ru.chaturbate.com/statsapi/authtoken/, then compose the URL likehttps://eventsapi.chaturbate.com/events/<your_username>/<your_token>/and paste it.
We validate your key:
- if the key is invalid — polling stops, the saved key is removed, and you’ll be asked to re-enter it;
- if the key is valid — event polling starts and you become Player A in the session.

Notes:

You cannot have more than one active session at a time. A new active session will automatically close your previous one.
We use a long-lived cookie/JWT to identify the current user within a session.

Copy the invitation link in the interface
Send it to your opponent
Your opponent opens the link and pastes their full Chaturbate Events API URL (same format as above)
After a successful check, the opponent joins as Player B

Invariants:

A player is added to a session only after their key is validated
If the opponent’s key is invalid, the system will reject the connection and ask for a correct key

On the desired scene click “+” in Sources → “Window Capture” or “Screen Capture”
Select the browser window with the battle/chat UI (e.g. this site)
Crop and resize to fit your canvas (e.g. 1920×1080) if needed
Place the layer where you want it in the scene stack
Start streaming

Important: do not use a “Browser Source” with the overlay URL. We capture the browser window where the chat and game progress are displayed.

Click “Start battle” in the control UI
A timer and score will appear. Points update automatically by events (1 token = 1 point)
Battle ends automatically by rules:
- by silence (no activity)
- by time limit
Emergency stop is available for moderator/system: ends immediately without determining a winner (and this is not a draw)

Invalid key:
- the system stops polling, removes the saved key, and asks you to enter a new one
- enter a valid key and try again
Lost sync (no incoming events):
- the game flow is not paused, timers keep running
- automatic finish is blocked until sync is restored
- as soon as events resume, sync restores automatically
No signals from both players:
- if there are no signals from both participants for 10 minutes, the session will automatically finish with status expired_no_signals
One active session per player:
- starting a new active session automatically closes all your other active sessions

The access key is used only to poll your stats and is stored locally for the current user; on access error it’s removed automatically
No real money goes through the system: we track stats only and convert them to points

Go tohttps://ru.chaturbate.com/statsapi/authtoken/and create an Events API URL
Example: https://eventsapi.chaturbate.com/events/mankeyking/2OoKeRVMlpnyfrcuvvrcvW3Z/
Paste this URL into the session interface field
If the Chaturbate UI differs, look for the statistics/API section and the Events API option. See examples in the screenshots above.

If something doesn’t work (key is not validated, no events, overlay not visible), reload the page, check your internet, and re-enter the key
If the issue repeats, contact project support. Please include what you did and the time it happened
