FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is Kixo free?
Yes — free forever and open source under the MIT license. No ads, no tracking.
Do I need a Kick account?
Not to read chat. Log in with Kick when you want to send messages, moderate, or edit your stream info.
Is it safe? Does it use the official API?
Sending messages, moderation and stream edits go through Kick's official Public API with OAuth 2.1. Kixo never sees your password, and tokens are encrypted with your operating system's keychain. The live chat feed uses the same public stream kick.com shows logged-out viewers.
Does it support 7TV emotes?
Yes — channel and global 7TV emotes render automatically next to Kick emotes. You can turn them off in Settings.
How do I add chat to OBS?
Use the overlay builder above, or add a Browser Source in OBS with https://kixo.app/overlay?channel=yourname. No
install or account needed. Options like &fade=30, &size=18, &bg=1 and &bots=0 let you tune it.
Is Kixo made by Kick?
No. Kixo is an independent community project and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Kick.
