A vibrant interactive livestreaming service that offers a blend of entertainment, community, and real-time engagement.

From gaming content to creative arts, music performances, and casual conversations, Twitch is where millions of viewers and creators come together every day.

Twitch Creators

If you create content anywhere on the internet, Twitch is a fantastic service where you can share your work and passions with the world. Anyone who creates content on Twitch is considered a Twitch creator.

Twitch creators have the opportunity to grow their own communities, celebrate their successes, and reach new heights through live broadcasting. Twitch is here to support you on your journey. Creator Camp is an excellent resource for you to explore as you continue to grow.

Streaming Levels

Streamer
Anyone can stream anything they like as long as they follow the terms of service.

You can start working towards growing your stream right away. Your dashboard tracks your progress and will invite you to level up to Affiliate once you reach the requirements.

Affiliate
Leveling up your community to an Affiliate level will give you even more great tools. You will earn a subscription button to monetize your channel and five emotes.

Growing your community beyond that will help you to progress toward Partner status. Your dashboard will invite you to apply once you reach the requirements.

Partner
It isn't easy to achieve Twitch Partner, but many more benefits come with Partnership.

Being a Partner opens up additional revenue opportunities and prioritized support. However, meeting the requirements for Partner does not guarantee Partner status.

Emotes

Emotes are like stickers for your community to use across Twitch. They help to communicate emotions like excitement, surprise, sadness, frustration, and more. Emotes can be still or animated, but both are a fun way to express yourself quickly based on what you’re seeing on stream.

Global Emotes are Emotes that every user on Twitch can access. In addition, Twitch Affiliates and Partners can upload custom Emotes that can be accessed by following or subscribing to their channels. Click the ☺ at the bottom of the chat box to see all of the Emotes available to you!
