Frequently asked questions
Short answers for members and managers. For product background, see About; for licensing and Virtual Item rules, see Terms.
What’s new in recent versions?
The v1.5 series added the AI Studio: a Music tab to create original songs from your own lyrics with a full studio toolset (extend, cover, split stems, voice cloning, WAV export, music videos, and more), plus AI Images and AI Video with multiple models - all paid with your KICK credit, with a per-user activity ledger and automatic refunds when a generation fails. A community feed lets you share creations with your team and browse what other communities made, and “Post to chat” drops an image or video into the org general chat as a playable embed.
The grid also got smarter: live channels fill slots first and offline schedule slots lend out
to live streamers so the grid is never partially blank. Twitch embeds can sign in with the app
(device-flow activation), Kick and Twitch login popups now work inside embeds, so follows and mature streams
just work, and playback got a stability pass. Loyalty points now also count app-open time,
with an owner-configurable payout rate. Earlier updates brought the TFG card economy
(daily packs, rarity tiers, foil variants), a General community chat with replies and mentions,
an in-app Media tab, and a Discord bot with the /live command.
How does the AI Studio charge KICKs?
AI tools charge your per-user KICK credit - for example, songs cost 30 KICKs and downloads a flat 2 KICKs. Every charge and top-up shows in your activity ledger, and failed generations refund automatically. Every KICK spent goes back into the app: servers, services, and the code-signing certificates that keep Kickzuru trusted on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Does Kickzuru log my Kick or Twitch chat?
No. Kickzuru does not capture or store Kick or Twitch chat messages - chat capture was removed entirely. Only your org’s own community chat is stored, so that feature can work. See the privacy overview in our Terms for the full picture.
Why does Task Manager show many WebView2 processes?
On Windows, Kickzuru embeds each stream in a mini browser powered by Microsoft Edge WebView2 (the same engine family as Chrome). WebView2 uses a multi-process architecture: one process per heavy stream embed, plus shared GPU, manager, and utility processes.
| Process | What it is |
|---|---|
WebView2: … Stream | One process per stream tile on your grid |
WebView2 GPU Process | Video compositing for embeds |
WebView2 Manager | Coordinates child WebView2 processes |
Widevine… | DRM for protected video (normal for Kick/Twitch) |
Subframe: googlesyndication… / stripe… | Loaded by the platform player, not by Kickzuru’s own UI |
More streams on the grid means more WebView2 lines. This is expected - not a virus or memory leak. Quit Kickzuru and those processes exit with the app.
How much RAM should I expect?
Rough guide for Windows (embeds + GPU):
| Grid size | Typical extra RAM |
|---|---|
| 1 stream | ~200–350 MB |
| 3 streams | ~500–800 MB |
| 6 streams | ~1–1.5 GB |
To use less: remove streams you are not watching, use focus mode on one tile, or quit when you are done.
Is Kickzuru loading ads or spying on me?
Kickzuru does not inject ads into the app shell. Embedded Kick or Twitch players may load their own third-party frames (ads, analytics, payments, DRM) - the same as watching on the website in a browser. Kickzuru’s own UI does not run those scripts.
A stream asks me to log in - is that normal?
Yes. Mature-rated Kick streams and Twitch follow buttons need a platform login inside the embedded player. Kickzuru allows those platform login popups, and Twitch embeds can activate with your app sign-in (a short device-flow code) so you don’t have to log in tile by tile. That sign-in is with Kick or Twitch, not with Kickzuru.
I see a process that is not WebView2 or Kickzuru
Unrelated process names are not part of Kickzuru. Close Kickzuru and check again; if the process remains, it belongs to another program on your PC.
What about macOS and Linux?
The idea is the same - one stream embed roughly equals one browser helper - but the labels differ:
| Platform | Engine |
|---|---|
| Windows | WebView2 (Chromium) |
| macOS | WKWebView (WebKit) |
| Linux | WebKitGTK |
How do I get access?
Sign in with Kick or Twitch. Your account must be whitelisted by a manager for your organization. If you are renting your own org, use Rent your org on the download page: a monthly Kick sub to 13thomas is the app license, plus a one-time 50000 KICKs setup gift.
Is there an in-app tour?
After you sign in the first time, Kickzuru can show a short spotlight tour of the tabs your role can use. Managers get an additional tour the first time they open Manager. Replay the member tour from Settings → Show tour, and the manager tour from the ? icon in the Manager sidebar.
Where do I download?
Installers and packages are published at godgamers.ro for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), Linux, and Android sideload. iOS is planned for early 2027.
