Should do. Give it a try and let us know :D
Well just gave it a quick go, The answers no :sad:

It's probably due to that it's not an widow as such like what the config page is.

Edit:

Is there a way to pick a specific channel/room within a server ?
Yep! Configuration can be reached either via System tray or by running discover-overlay --configure :)
Must have missed that, I can only select servers, not channels in a specific one.

Quoting: midget_3111We use their official streamkit API, so no risk of violations :)
I thought it would have done, Just looked in the branch and states this .
Ahh right. It follows whichever channel you're currently in I believe. selecting a specific channel only works for text overlays currently.
Actually thats not a bad idea thinking about if it follows the user to the relevant channel in use.

Quoting: wytrabbitSo this doesn't interfere with or modify the Discord client in any way? I'm concerned with my account being banned.
What on earth makes you think that they would ban you or even on what grounds ?
It's mentioned at least twice in their ToS.

:dizzy:

I must be missing something I guess, Does it not use their API?
Is that not what an API is for, Integrating third party programs/Access ?
