# Setup

**Getting Started**

For this process you will need a KickBot account. If you do not already have a KickBot account navigate to [kickbot.app](https://kickbot.app) and sign up. For more information, follow [this guide](https://docs.kickbot.com/dashboard/creating-your-account) on getting started.

**Verifying your account**

Once signed in, enter your Kick username in the KickBot settings. Make sure this exactly matches your Kick username. After it's saved, press "Verify Kick Account" in the Stream Deck box and follow the instructions in the prompt.

When verification is complete you will be able to access your KickBot Stream Deck key. This is used to connect the plugin to KickBot, make sure this key is kept secret as anyone with access will be able to use it. If it has been exposed you can regenerate the key, this will invalidate any old keys and give you a new key.

**Installing the plugin**

You can install the plugin [here](https://apps.elgato.com/plugins/app.kickbot.kickbot). Once downloaded, double-click the file and it will be added as a plugin in your Stream Deck software. If you do not have the Stream Deck software installed you can download it [here](https://www.elgato.com/us/en/s/downloads).

**Configuring the plugin**

Inside the Stream Deck software, you should now see a "KickBot" category on the right side of the screen. Like any other plugin, you can drag an action onto your deck and configure it using the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Paste the key found in the KickBot settings page into the "KickBot Key" box, some actions may also have additional settings. Do note, if you are using the clip action make sure you have enabled the !clip command on KickBot. Learn more about the !clip command [here](https://docs.kickbot.com/dashboard/chat-bot/using-the-clip-command).
