TWShot is a browser extension designed to enable communities on Twitch to share images directly within the broadcast chat. It addresses the need for a seamless way to send images without requiring viewers to follow external links, enhancing interaction among Twitch users.
The extension is available for Chrome and Firefox browsers. It allows users to upload images or GIFs from various sources, including Tenor, Imgur, and Lightshot, or by uploading files directly. To share an image, users can either upload it or obtain a link from one of the supported sources and then paste a specific code (such as upl:code, tnr:code, img:code, or ls:code) into the chat. Images shared this way are visible to everyone who has the TWShot extension installed.
TWShot also offers a popout feature, enabling users to build a custom popout chat by adding Twitch channels they wish to follow. This popout displays an image-only chat and does not require the extension to use, as users can generate and open a popout URL after selecting channels.
The project is described as not-for-profit and experimental, created for the community and for learning purposes. The developer indicates that the source code may become available in the future. TWShot was built to facilitate image sharing in Twitch chats in a way that avoids redirecting viewers outside the chat environment.
