Always-on channels for streamers

A second Twitch channel for the content your audience already knows.

Build the queue for free, see what would actually run, and launch only after the Twitch account, schedule, content rights, and output setup make sense.

The free queue is a planning step, not a commitment.

Permalive should be clear before you connect a channel. The first job is to build the queue, check the plan, and decide whether a dedicated 247 Twitch account makes sense.

01

Sign in

Use Twitch login so the dashboard has an owner. This is not password sharing, and it does not start a stream.

02

Build the queue

Import YouTube playlists, remove videos that should not run, and set categories before anything reaches Twitch.

03

Preview the channel

Check readiness and open the public schedule so the channel plan is visible before launch.

04

Connect the destination

When you are ready to go live, authorize the Twitch account Permalive should operate. Use a separate 247 account if your main channel should stay untouched.

What you are not agreeing to
  • No automatic billing from the free queue builder.
  • No managed runtime is provisioned from the free plan.
  • No stream starts just because you import playlists.
  • No Twitch password sharing; Twitch handles sign-in and authorization.
  • Channel/output permissions are a later launch step, not the first login.

If the 247 feed should stay separate from your normal live streams, create or use a dedicated Twitch account for the Permalive destination.

24/7 stream setup

What an always-on channel setup has to cover.

A serious 24/7 launch has to handle Twitch setup, YouTube playlist curation, VOD rerun rules, RTMP playout, stream cost, recovery, and viewer-facing schedule context in one operating plan.

24/7 Twitch stream setup

Use a dedicated Twitch destination, rights-clean videos, stable RTMP playout, queue monitoring, and a public schedule so viewers understand what is playing now and next.

Open 24/7 Twitch page

YouTube playlist to live stream

Turn playlists into queue sources, then remove weak videos, rights risks, category mismatches, and dead-air segments before the archive becomes a live channel.

Open playlist page

Twitch VOD rerun channel rules

Rights, music, categories, labels, and viewer transparency matter more than the word live. Start with content you control and make the rerun format obvious.

Open rerun channel page

Managed 24/7 stream hosting cost

Queue readiness, destination health, reconnect behavior, category sync, and runtime visibility matter more than a one-off encoder command.

Open managed hosting page

Separate 24/7 channel or main channel?

Most streamer-led always-on feeds work better as a dedicated destination linked from the main channel, especially when the main channel still goes live normally.

Already in the dashboard

More than a playlist pointed at RTMP.

Permalive already includes the controls that make a 247 channel easier to approve, operate, and explain to viewers.

Queue guardrails

Clean the archive before it becomes the channel.

Use source playlists, exclusions, and category mapping to make the feed feel planned instead of sending a raw VOD dump live.

  • Exclude individual videos
  • Assign categories per source or video
  • Preview the effective playback list
Multi-output

Add Rumble or Kick without running a second encoder.

Keep Twitch as the primary channel and mirror the same 24/7 playout to Rumble, Kick, YouTube Live, or a custom RTMP destination from the Permalive dashboard.

  • Rumble and Kick stream targets
  • YouTube Live mirrors
  • Custom RTMP mirrors
  • Per-destination health visibility
Schedule voting

Let viewers vote for the next playlist block.

The public schedule can show vote counts, the current leader, cooldowns, and each viewer's choice while the stream keeps moving through the queue.

  • Twitch-login viewer votes
  • Public schedule vote buttons
  • Boundary-safe playlist selection
Health dashboard

See the runtime before viewers notice a problem.

The dashboard shows runtime state, active alerts, queue readiness, stream-agent heartbeats, and per-destination delivery status in one place.

  • Queue readiness preflight
  • Runtime and agent heartbeat signals
  • Per-destination delivery status
Policy guardrails

Keep the channel honest as the queue moves.

Permalive pairs practical rights and Twitch setup guidance with product controls for titles, categories, labels, exclusions, and public schedule context.

  • Rights-aware launch guides
  • Category and title sync
  • Clear public schedule context
Shared access

Let a trusted helper operate without sharing the owner account.

Invite people who help with the channel while the owner keeps control of Twitch authorization, output setup, and team membership.

  • Seven day invite links
  • Owner-scoped dashboard access
  • No owner-account sharing
Operating loop

A workflow for your 247 channel.

Plan the channel, review the schedule, and launch without exposing stream keys or learning encoder infrastructure.

01

Import the library

Bring YouTube playlists and public playlist sources into a queue model you can shape before any output is connected.

02

Review the queue

Exclude weak or risky videos, assign playlist categories, and use readiness checks before asking the channel to run.

03

Open the schedule

Publish the schedule preview, enable viewer voting for the next playlist block, and keep the main-channel handoff simple.

04

Run and recover

After a managed launch, health checks, retries, category sync, and destination status keep the 247 channel visible between normal live streams.

Pricing

Start the 247 channel before the revenue catches up.

Create the queue for free, inspect readiness, and use the public schedule before launch. The free plan does not bill, provision a runtime, or start a stream.

Free queue builder, readiness guardrails, contact-led launch

Request the 7 day trial or paid upgrade by email after the queue, public schedule, and destination setup are ready. Nothing bills, goes live, or provisions automatically.
