Welcome to YT Chat Pulse, your ultimate assistant for YouTube live streams! This app is designed to:

• Post engaging facts about your channel during live streams.

• Automate your live chat interactions effortlessly.

Your Data, Secured

YT Chat Pulse securely stores:

• YouTube Channel ID, Channel Name, and Description.

The app does not store passwords or sensitive personal information.

Getting Started

Step 1: Launch the App

Click the Get Started button. A popup window will appear prompting you to:

• Provide your YouTube Channel ID.
• Enter your Google Spreadsheet ID (with channel facts to publish during the live stream).

Finding Your YouTube Channel ID

• Go to your YouTube channel.
• Click on your profile picture and select YouTube Studio.
• Copy the URL. The Channel ID is the string after /channel/.

Example: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC1234567890ABCDEF

• Channel ID: UC1234567890ABCDEF

Finding Your Spreadsheet ID

• Open the Google Spreadsheet.
• Check the URL. The ID is the string between /d/ and /edit.

Example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbCDEFGHIJKLMN12345678/edit

• Spreadsheet ID: 1AbCDEFGHIJKLMN12345678

Formatting the Spreadsheet

Ensure your Google Spreadsheet is formatted as follows:

• Column A: Channel ID.
• Column B: Content (facts to post).
• Column C: Priority (higher priority facts are posted first).
• Column D: Active (set to Yes to enable the fact).

Using the App

Step 2: Authenticate

• Click the Submit and Authenticate button in the popup.
• Log in using your Google account. The app will display a consent screen explaining the required permissions.
• Once authenticated, your Channel ID and Spreadsheet ID are securely stored.

Step 3: Start Live Streaming

Once you go live on YouTube:

• The app will automatically detect the live stream.
• It will post a "Hello!" message as the first comment.
• Every 5 minutes, the app will post a fact from the spreadsheet (based on priority).
• The app monitors live comments every minute and greets new users with "Welcome @username!".
