📡 Fetching Clips

How EzClap Detects and Fetches Twitch Clips

One of the most common questions is simple:

How do clips actually appear inside EzClap without me doing anything?

The answer is a background system inside EzClap called the Watcher.

Everytime a new clip is being created by a whitelisted user, you will see this clip card, however, you don't need to have EzClap opened during your stream, this is just a visual representation of "yeah, we saw your new clip, editing in progress" and will be replaced by the actual clip once completed.

What the Watcher Does

The Watcher is the part of EzClap that quietly monitors your Twitch channel for new clips.

There is no AI trying to guess the best moments from your stream. EzClap does not scan your full VOD looking for something “viral.”

Instead, the Watcher works with real clips that were actually created during your stream.

Every 2 minutes, EzClap checks your channel for newly created clips.

How Clip Detection Works

When EzClap finds a new clip, it checks whether the person who created it is on your clip whitelist.

If the clip creator is not on your whitelist

If a random viewer created the clip and they are not on your whitelist, the Watcher ignores it for automatic processing.

That clip is not lost, though.

You can still access and review user-created clips later through Super Editor, which gives you manual control over clips that were not auto-approved.

If the clip creator is on your whitelist

If the clip was created by you or by someone on your approved whitelist, EzClap immediately pulls that clip into your workflow.

From there, it moves into the next stage of processing automatically.

What Happens After a Clip Is Fetched

Once a clip is approved and fetched, EzClap starts applying your saved workflow settings in the background.

Depending on your setup, EzClap can automatically:

• apply your video template
• crop the clip to a vertical format
• place your gameplay and facecam correctly
• add your logo, if enabled
• generate subtitles and captions

This means the repetitive editing work is already underway while you are still streaming or shortly after your stream ends.

Why This Matters for Twitch Streamers

The whole point of the Watcher is to remove friction.

You do not need to manually download clips, rename files, sort them into folders, or prepare them one by one. EzClap watches for approved clips, pulls them in automatically, and pushes them into your content workflow.

For Twitch streamers trying to stay consistent with TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or other vertical platforms, this saves a huge amount of time.

No Guesswork, No Clip Chaos

EzClap keeps the process clean by combining two things:

• automatic clip detection
• whitelist-based filtering

That means you stay in control of what gets processed automatically, while still having access to other clips later if you want them.

Next Step

Once clips are fetched into EzClap, the next part of the workflow is processing them with your templates, captions, and publishing setup inside clip layout.
