# How to Use SocialMate's Twitch and YouTube Clip Browser

Streamers and video creators have a unique challenge: hours of footage that most of your social media audience will never see. The solution is clips — short, shareable moments from your streams and videos. SocialMate's clip browser makes finding and scheduling them dead simple.

The Twitch Clip Browser

### Your Clips (Connected Account)

Connect your Twitch account to SocialMate and your recent clips appear automatically in a thumbnail grid. Click any clip to preview it, then hit **Schedule** to queue it for posting across any of your connected platforms.

### Search Any Channel (Public Clips)

Don't have a Twitch account connected, or want to find clips from another channel? Use the **Search Any Channel** feature. Type any Twitch username and SocialMate pulls their public clips using Twitch's client credentials API — no account required.

A quota counter shows how many public searches you have remaining this month.

The YouTube Clip Browser

SocialMate uses YouTube's RSS feeds to pull video content — which means **no YouTube API key required**. Connect a channel URL and browse recent videos in a thumbnail grid. Click any video to schedule a post linking to it.

You can also search any public YouTube channel by username or URL without connecting your account.

Scheduling a Clip

1. Find the clip or video you want to share

2. Click the thumbnail to preview

3. Hit **Schedule** — SocialMate pre-fills the post with the clip title and link

4. Select your platforms and posting time

5. Add any custom caption or AI-generated text

6. Confirm — it's in your queue

Why This Matters for Streamers

Streamers create dozens of clipworthy moments every session. Most of them disappear. The clip browser turns your VOD content into social fuel — automatically surfacing the moments worth sharing without having to dig through hours of footage.

SocialMate is the only social media scheduler with a native Twitch and YouTube clip browser.
