Same difference, recommended is still “clips the algo thinks are good” what makes a clip appear in recommended (either in the front end or the dashboard) is outside the realms of the third party developer support routes because it’s first party.
I don’t think you’d get an answer from Twitch on it either if there was a place to ask them.
It’s still algo powered.
The type of application is irrelevant it doesn’t do/change anything, it just hints to Twitch Staff what you use the ClientID and generated tokens for, but doesn’t have any mechanical functionality that changes behaviour
A clip is a clip is a clip regardless of the method used to create it.
Creating a clip via the website, calls the clip service and it makes a clip
Creating a clip via the API, calls the clip service and it makes a clip
Creating a clip streamdeck, just creates a clip via the API, calls the clip service and it makes a clip
Regardless of the entry point it all calls the internal clip service.
So why does a clip not show up in recommended, no idea, I guess the algorithm decided it wasn’t worth recommending.
