Looking to allow streamer to enter a value in config and make that value show up in panel.

My thought was to post config form to backend api and make a call on panel page.

I read through the docs re: Configuration Service but still do not understand how that works or how to set it up correctly.

Thanks ahead of time.

That’s probably the easiest, skip the configuration service and hold it all yourself. Depends on how often you expect to be changing configuration.

The configuration service is designed to hold values that rarely change.

Each Configuration value consists of

- channel\_id
- segment  
And optionals
- content
- version

Basically set the channel\_id, segment (to broadcaster), and your content, and that should be it

The documentation:
