Putting your Portage page on Twitch
Your Portage page goes in your social links, and in a panel under your stream.
- Publish your Portage page, then copy its address. In the editor, Share links has it ready with ?via=twitch on the end.
- On Twitch, open your Creator Dashboard, then Settings, then Channel, and the About tab.
- Under social links, type a name for the link, paste your address and press Add.
- On your channel page, turn Edit Panels on, add a panel, and paste your address as its image link.
See which visits came from Twitch
Add ?via=twitch to the address you put on Twitch, and those visits show in your numbers as your Twitch link, apart from every other place your page is shared.
portage.camp/@yourname?via=twitch- In the editor, open Share links. Once Twitch is one of the profiles on your page, there’s a button that copies this address for you.
- For a second spot on the same app, type your own word in the “Somewhere else” box, like one word for each video or post, and each shows up on its own line.
- The word only names where a visit came from. Nobody’s identity is in it, and Portage counts visits without cookies.
If Twitch says a link may be unsafe
Twitch’s help pages don’t describe a warning for links in the About section or in panels. If a viewer’s browser warns them, the warning comes from the browser, and the Google check below is the one to look at.
- Check the address you pasted.Open it yourself in a private window. A typo, an extra space or a shortened link in front of it can trip a warning, so use your page’s own portage.camp address with nothing in front of it.
- Look at every link on your page.A warning can come from what your page links to, not just from your page. Open each link and take out or replace any that goes somewhere you don’t trust, or that now goes somewhere new.
- Look up the address with Google.Search for Google’s “Safe Browsing site status” and paste in your page’s address. It says whether Google lists the address as unsafe, which rules one common list in or out.
- Check what the warning names.If the browser names portage.camp, tell us. If it names a site your page links to, that link is the one to change.
- Tell us.If the warning is about portage.camp itself, report it as a bug from the link at the foot of any Portage page, with the app’s name and what it said. We’ll look into it and take it up with the app.
