Competing as a Partner or Affiliate Twitch Streamer
If you are a Partner or Affiliate Twitch streamer, you and your viewers can play together as a team on your channel! You will need to install the extension and set it as overlay in order to play. Without the extension, you and your community can't enter answers for questions. More on that later. You must be over the agree to the rules, agree to the terms of service, be over the age of 18 and located in the United States to compete. You can also run the extension non-competitively if you just want to see how you perform!
You need to do the onboarding before each new show. You can do that in the Million to One Extension Configuration. There will be a 30 minute window before the show begins where Partners and Affiliates can create their team to compete in that night's game.
Where Do Partners or Affiliates Play?
Partners or Affiliates have two options for where they can compete in Million to One.

Tips and Tricks:

Play along in the overlay or in the config
Bookmark the extension, so you can play again quickly
Turn off ads during the stream, they can disrupt the gameplay
As a creator, make sure to answer! Your answer increases your overall team score when you get it right.
Chat participation is key! The top 20 scores from your chat have a heavy weight on your score.
We recommend bookmarking the extension page for quick access when you play! You'll be competing on the configuration page, so you'll be accessing it frequently. If you're not navigating to the extension page from the link, you can find the extension by going to your creator dashboard, clicking Extensions from the menu on the left, searching Million to One (or go to My Extensions if it's installed already), and clicking the Configure button.
To participate as a Partner or Affiliate, you need to make sure you have extension installed and activated. This is how your community plays along with you!
As a streamer, you'll be competing in the extension config page. Make sure to finish your onboarding of the show, so your viewers can join! Viewers are able to join your team up until the end of the first round.
When a question appears, your question interface will appear in the extension Configuration page and your community will be answering in the overlay. Make sure to answer quickly! The faster you answer, the higher the multiplier will be. Your answer interface will look something like this:
How To Play
When Million To One channel is live, enable the extension on and invite your channel to accept and join the extension and join your team! For the full experience, host the game show feed on your own stream so your community can follow along live.
When the countdown expires, the competitors are locked in. Competitors are separated into three brackets, creating opportunity for anyone who joins!
COMPETITION TIERS:
PARTNERS: Partners collaborate with their audiences to answer questions correctly and compete against other channels. Partners only compete with other players in the partner tier and their scores appear together in the partner leaderboard in the extension.
AFFILIATES: Affiliates collaborate with their audiences to answer questions correctly and compete against other channels. Affiliates only compete with other affiliates in this category.
INDIVIDUALS: Everyone competes in the underdog category from broadcaster to viewer. We will be tracking each player’s score who is locked in to compete.
Show starts! Every round will feature questions of increasing difficulty around a shared theme.
At the end of each round, we calculate the round score for Partner and Affiliate channels. The lowest-scoring communities are eliminated from the Partner & Affiliate brackets, and join the Individuals and continue to compete, so you or someone in your chat could still win!
PRIZING! At the end of the show, the surviving Partner & Affiliate Communities win prizes and the winning Individuals are revealed.
What's in the Extension?
If you're a streamer, you're playing in the Extension Configuration. If you're a viewer you're playing in the overlay.
In the overlay, you can:
Complete Onboarding for A Game
You can check all the legal, share your Twitch ID and join to play as an Underdog or on a Partner or Affiliate channel's team! After you've joined, you'll receive confirmation for the team you've joined. Once you're locked in to a team, you can't switch teams for the duration of that day's game.
Check Out the Leaderboards
Leaderboards will display the top channels competing that day! The boar populates at the end of the first round of questions and gets updated each round. See if your team is a top scoring channel, went up or down in the leaderboards, and if you're a winner. At the end of the game, you'll also get a notification for what percentile your team ranked in. Did you get top 5% or top 10%? Find out!
Competing as an Individual? You'll see top channel leaderboards at the very end of the game! So even if your team gets eliminated, keep answering questions!
Answer Questions to Compete
In the overlay, the questions show up in the lower third of the screen. You can see the current category, the question, the answers, and the current multiplier. The faster your answer, the higher your multiplier, so answer fast! Get your answer in before the timer runs out to play or just play along for fun. At the end of the timer, you'll see if you answer correctly or incorrectly.
