What this adds

Everything YouTube-related from the Zendesk migration, as a standalone PR against current master:

  • YouTube quickstart (6 pages, 24 images), listed in the SE.Live sidebar as one guide with a "5 parts" badge
  • YouTube dual stream (Beta) (new): send horizontal and vertical versions of a YouTube stream with SE.Live. 5 screenshots, used as supplied (GuideScreenshot, recorded in captures.json). Sidebar entry with a Beta badge, a card on the guides index, and a cross-link from the multistreaming guide
  • Set Up SE.Live for YouTube: connect SE.Live, stream key, YouTube overlay, chatbot moderator

Scope and links

This is PR 3 of the wider migration, shipped first. The quickstart, setup guide and dual stream guide link to pages that are not in this PR (Getting Started, Loyalty, Tipping, chatbot platform setup, overlay broadcast software, AlertBox variations). Those links are removed in one dedicated commit, "Unlink YouTube pages from pages that ship in later PRs": in-text links became plain text, link cards to missing pages were dropped, and two sentences that only pointed at a missing page were dropped. Revert that commit once the Getting Started, Revenue, Loyalty, Chatbot and Overlays PRs are merged.

Verified

Fresh clone of master, only these 5 commits applied: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build passes, 221 pages, link validator clean, no lockfile / dist / node_modules changes.

Please check

  • Dual stream steps come from StreamElements support's beta instructions and were not re-tested end to end. The "Before you begin" list assumes a vertical canvas and a second (vertical) SE.Live output.
  • Screenshots: two dual stream images (profile menu, Content page) show a staff test channel name and profile photo.
  • Rendered output was checked from the built HTML only (title, headings, 5 figures with captions, Beta aside); there was no browser in the build environment for a visual check. A Draft PR preview would be the best check.

Not in this PR

SE.Live, Chatbot, Overlays gap fills (PR 1) and the Dashboard topic (PR 2: Getting Started, Revenue, Loyalty, Campaigns, Media Requests, Ground Control).

Add six YouTube quickstart pages under SE.Live with 24 screenshots. Cover account setup, the dashboard, overlays, OBS with SE.Live, and chatbot setup. Build and internal link validation pass.
New guide at /selive/guides/youtube-dual-stream covering YouTube's dual
stream feature with SE.Live: scheduled stream and stream settings in
YouTube Studio, vertical stream set to Encoder, two SE.Live outputs
connected to the same scheduled stream, and the order to end the stream.
Written in the same format as the Twitch dual format guide, with five
screenshots used as supplied (GuideScreenshot, images in selive/img).

Also: sidebar entry with a Beta badge, a card on the guides index,
updated SE.Live and guides index descriptions, a cross-link from the
multistreaming guide, and the new images recorded in captures.json.

The page states the beta limitation (not fully integrated into SE.Live
yet). Steps come from StreamElements support's own beta instructions and
were not re-tested end to end.

Phase 1 page from the Zendesk migration: connect SE.Live to YouTube, add
camera and mic sources, set the stream key, add a YouTube overlay, and add
the StreamElements chatbot as a moderator. Listed in the SE.Live guides
sidebar after Backtrack and in the "Platform setup" cards on the guides
index (added with the YouTube quickstart).

The YouTube quickstart, setup guide, and dual stream guide link to pages
that are part of the wider Zendesk migration (Getting Started, Loyalty,
Tipping, chatbot platform setup, overlay broadcast software and AlertBox
variations). Those pages are not in this PR, so the links would fail the
link validator.

In-text links become plain text, link cards to missing pages are removed
(including the now-empty Related sections), and two sentences that only
existed to point at a missing page are dropped. No other wording changes.

Revert this commit once the Getting Started, Revenue, Loyalty, and
Chatbot/Overlays PRs are merged to restore the links.

* Phase 1: close docs gaps for SE.Live, Chatbot, and Overlays

Sourced from a full audit of the StreamElements support KB (Zendesk) against
docs.streamelements.com, ahead of retiring the support KB (Zendesk's API no
longer supports article create/update).

SE.Live:
- New pages: uninstall.mdx, guides/youtube-setup.mdx
- getting-started.mdx: requirements block, run-as-admin step, StreamElements
  menu overview, Cloud Backup section
- troubleshooting.mdx: X/Twitter login, Stream Deck path sensitivity, fuller
  audio setup, GPU encoding note, crash isolation + --setrace + memory dump
  steps, uninstall link
- guides/overlays-and-alerts.mdx: testing tips, scene naming, Themes Gallery,
  stronger URL security note, link to new AlertBox variations page
- guides/multistreaming.mdx: recommended specs, X/Twitter note, fuller TikTok
  behavior, FAQ section
- guides/twitch-dual-format.mdx: FAQ (Twitch beta approval, OBS 32 stability),
  Known Issues section
- guides/scenes-and-sources.mdx: Advanced Encoding Options (beta) note,
  Stream Deck auto-sync note
- guides/backtrack.mdx: already covered the identified gaps, no change needed

Chatbot:
- New pages: platforms.mdx (Twitch/YouTube/Kick setup + FAQ, tabbed),
  user-management.mdx, guides/bot-detection.mdx, guides/run-ads.mdx
- getting-started.mdx, troubleshooting.md, index.mdx: cross-links to the above
- VALORANT rank-command guide intentionally NOT migrated: source API
  (glitch.me) is confirmed dead (Glitch shut down app hosting July 2025), and
  there's no native rank variable to replace it with. Needs a product/eng
  decision before this can be drafted.

Overlays:
- New pages: broadcast-software.mdx, alertbox-variations.mdx, kappagen.mdx,
  widget-data.mdx, chat-widget.mdx, troubleshooting.md
- getting-started.mdx, index.mdx, session-data.md: cross-links + sidebar
  restructure (split streamer Guides from developer Custom Widgets)
- Elements Editor content intentionally excluded: product is being redesigned
  imminently per stakeholder call, not worth documenting a UI about to change.

Contradictions between support and docs (macOS support, OBS version for dual
format, dual-format beta gating) were left as docs already had them, per
instruction that docs is the source of truth. Not independently re-verified
against the product -- flagging for a final eng sanity check before merging.

No real screenshots included; new pages are written to stand on their own
without images. Existing GuideScreenshot images referenced by edited pages
are unchanged.

* Fix 2 broken anchor links found by npm run build (starlight-links-validator)

- overlays/troubleshooting.md: {#xsplit} custom-id syntax isn't honored in
  plain .md, producing id="xsplit-xsplit" instead. Removed it; default
  slug of the heading text is #xsplit, matching the link that pointed here.
- selive/guides/youtube-setup.mdx: linked to /chatbot/platforms#youtube, but
  Tabs/TabItem tab labels aren't headings and produce no anchor. Reworded
  to link the page without a fragment.

Also added node_modules/, package-lock.json, and dist/ to .gitignore --
running npm install/build locally for validation shouldn't leave build
artifacts in this diff.

* Restore chatbot and overlay links in YouTube pages

The chatbot platform setup page and the overlay broadcast software and
AlertBox variations pages are added in this PR, so the links removed from
the YouTube setup guide and quickstart "Build Your Overlay" page can come
back. This reverses those parts of "Unlink YouTube pages from pages that
ship in later PRs".
