Run Guided Setup and change your choices later

Use Guided Setup to configure RearSilver Stream Suite, skip optional features and revisit your choices later.


Requirements

  • RearSilver Stream Suite is installed.
  • The Control Hub is open.

Steps


Step 1 — Start Guided Setup

After a new installation, RearSilver Stream Suite opens the Control Hub and starts Guided Setup automatically. To run it again later, open Suite Settings and select Run guided setup again.

Step 2 — Configure Hub and Startup

Choose whether the Control Hub opens after OBS finishes loading. You can also add optional applications to App Manager so they open with the Control Hub.

Step 3 — Configure OBS and Overlays

Choose how RearSilver Stream Suite places managed stream tools in OBS. Simple mode keeps them inside the shared RearSilver Stream Suite | Stream Overlays scene. Advanced mode places each managed tool directly into the active scene. You can also create or configure the OBS Music Capture source.

Step 4 — Connect your accounts

Connect the Twitch streamer account used to read chat and identify viewer roles. You can also connect an optional Twitch bot account and choose which account sends chat messages. If you use Spotify, enter your Spotify Client ID and connect your account. Skip any services you do not use.

Step 5 — Configure music and song requests

Choose whether YouTube song requests are enabled, who can submit them and the limits applied to the request queue. You can also configure duplicate prevention, playlist restrictions, track-length limits and content-safety checks. Skip this stage if you do not use song requests.

Step 6 — Configure commands and finish setup

Choose which viewer roles can use each Twitch chat command. The broadcaster always retains access. When your choices are complete, select Finish setup. RearSilver Stream Suite saves the completed state and opens Suite Settings for future changes.

What success looks like

  • Guided Setup is complete.
  • The selected preferences have been saved.
  • The user knows how to change the settings later.
  • The user knows how to run Guided Setup again.

Common problems

  • Guided Setup does not open automatically: It does not open during normal startup after setup has been completed. Open Suite Settings and select Run guided setup again.
  • A setting that requires OBS is unavailable: Open OBS Studio and confirm that the Control Hub shows that OBS is connected.
  • A setup stage is not relevant: Use the skip option and configure that feature later from Suite Settings.
  • A review prompt appears after reinstalling or updating: Select Review setup to check the saved settings, or Keep my saved setup to continue without changing them.
