Overview
The front-end interface for viewers is extremely simple. Viewers simply move a small cursor over the live video feed and click. Each click will produce a short animation of acknowledgement and the coordinates of that click will be sent to a back-end server, which will route the data to the broadcaster.
A range of simple presets for Heat are available. By default, these presets point to my Twitch channel, Scott Made This. To point to a channel of your choosing, use one of the following methods.
-
Clicking the "Browse Overlays" button in the Heat Extension Configuration page on Twitch will automatically append your channel id to the URL.
-
Alternatively, you can manually pass a numeric channel id as part of the query string. For example:
https://heat.j38.net/heatmap/?channel=97032862
Heat uses a simple websocket-based protocol for routing click data from viewers to the broadcaster. Visit Custom Experiences to learn more about creating your own custom Heat experiences.
