Let viewers inspect the character you choose to share.

Step 1

Install the Companion

Close Return of Reckoning. Download the installer from this page and run it for your current Windows user. On the final page, leave the launch box ticked and choose Finish. Companion opens by itself and shows FIRST-TIME SETUP.

• Everything needed by Companion is included.
• The installer is not digitally signed, so Windows SmartScreen may name an unknown publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• If you unticked the launch box, open scryTome RoR Stream Bridge Companion from the Start menu.

Step 2 - Companion setup 1 of 5: Find game

Find your game folder

If the setup box opened past this step, your game folder was already confirmed and you can carry on at the step it shows.

Choose Find automatically. If nothing is found, choose Browse and select the main Return of Reckoning folder, the one that contains the game launcher. If Browse is unavailable, paste that folder's full path and choose Use this folder.

Do not select the Interface, AddOns, or RoRStreamBridge subfolder.

You should see: the box moves to 2 Install addon.

Step 3 - Companion setup 2 of 5: Install addon

Install the game addon

The addon installs only while the game is not running. That is already true if you have not opened it since step 1; if you did, close the game itself now. The Return of Reckoning launcher can stay open.

Choose Stop Game Link, then choose Install addon and wait for the confirmation.

You never download or update this addon yourself. When a new version is needed, Companion opens its setup box and asks you to close the game and choose Sync addon again. Your other addons are left alone.

You should see: the box moves to 3 Enable sharing.

Step 4 - Companion setup 3 of 5: Enable sharing

Confirm sharing in game

Start Return of Reckoning and log into a character. The small RSB icon appears near the center of the screen the first time and can be dragged out of the way. Click it to open the RSB window.

Sharing is on from the start, so this is a quick check: Share from game and all seven category boxes should already be ticked. The Companion: and Approval: rows show what is still missing. Back in Companion, choose Sharing is on.

Prefer chat? /rsb status shows the current state, /rsb start turns sharing back on, and /rsb iconreset recenters a lost icon.

Step 5 - Companion setup 4 and 5 of 5: Connect Twitch, then Finish

Install the Extension and connect Twitch

1. Sign into Twitch with the account you stream from.
2. Open the Extension page on Twitch. Choose Install the Extension and confirm it appears under My Extensions.
3. In Companion, choose Connect Twitch, then Get pairing code, then Copy code. Leave the one-time code on screen.
4. Choose Open Twitch Extensions, return to My Extensions, find the Extension, and choose Configure.
5. Paste the code, choose Pair channel, and wait for Pairing approved. If you plan to test the Video Overlay, set its edge and position now and choose Save placement.
6. Return to Companion. The Twitch window closes by itself and the setup box moves to its last card, 5 Finish.

On 5 Finish, headed Ready for your first stream, choose Show Publishing Bar. That closes the setup box and leaves you on the Publishing Bar, the strip just above the Now, Characters, and Channel Policy buttons. It stays there from now on.

You should see: on that strip, Selected channel reads twitch.tv/ followed by the channel you just paired, and Channel publishing reads Enabled.

Step 6

Set your channel defaults

Open Channel Policy. All seven categories start as Share, so this is where you decide what belongs on stream. Each row has a switch at the right. Switch one off and that category stays private for every character.

A single character can be given its own exception later, on the Characters page: select the character, then choose Change on the category you want to differ.

You should see: seven category rows, each reading Share or Private where you switched one off.

Step 7

Approve one character

1. Stay logged into the character you want to share.
2. On Now, the Game link card should read Watching. If it reads Stopped, switch Game link on under Activity and diagnostics.
3. Open Characters, select the character, and choose the approval switch at the right side of its row.
4. Review <character name> before approving shows how many categories would be shared. It only reports, so read it and choose Approve <character name>.
5. Return to Now and give Companion a moment to update.

You should see: the Now banner reads PUBLISHING TO VIEWERS, and Viewer status on the Publishing Bar changes to Visible within about a minute. If it stays Offline or Unknown for more than two minutes, screenshot the whole Companion window and tell us on the support page.

Step 8

Activate the Twitch Extension

Open Twitch Creator Dashboard - Extensions, then My Extensions. Find scryTome RoR Stream Bridge, choose Activate, and pick Add as a new panel for the first check. The Panel works while your channel is offline.

Once the Panel works you can return to My Extensions and switch to Set as Overlay 1 for the interactive Video Overlay. One Twitch pairing covers both placements, so switching never needs another code, and the Overlay uses the placement you saved in Configure.

You should see: on My Extensions, the Extension moves from Installed to Activated in the slot you chose.

Step 9

See what viewers see

Open your own Twitch channel. Confirm your character appears with the categories you left shared, and that sections open and close. An Overlay appears only while the channel is live.

From there, one rule covers the rest. Untick a category in the game window, set it to Keep private on that character, or switch the category off in Channel Policy, and viewers stop seeing it. Pause all publishing hides everything at once, and Resume publishing brings it back without pairing again.
