Bot username not working

No I did not do that actually. I just got the oAuth from my main twitch account. So does this mean when I make a new twitch account for my bot that whatever name I give that twitch account I will be stuck with that name for my bot?

Yes

@sollazzo08

or will I be able to change the name around in the index.js file?

Usernames can be changed every 3 months iirc.

Otherwise to change the name of your bot, you will need to make a new Twitch account and go thru the oAuth loop with that Twitch Account.

@sollazzo08

because when I used my own Auth for what ever reason even when I changed username around it never changed

The bot can only authenticate using the password you used. The “password” is the oAuth. The oAuth belongs to you (in this case) so your JS file/Bot can only connect to chat “as you”

To login as another user, you need to create another account and perform an oAuth loop to get an oAuth for the other user.
