A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Live Stream" from Twitch.

An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Video to Playlist" in YouTube.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects Twitch and YouTube, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions

Practical ways you can use Twitch and YouTube
Repurpose Twitch live stream content for YouTube audience
When a new live stream begins on your Twitch channel, Zapier uploads a prepared promotional video to your YouTube channel. This lets you engage your YouTube subscribers by showcasing current live content and driving traffic to the ongoing Twitch stream, increasing cross-platform reach.

Monitor Twitch streamer activity on YouTube
Monitor a Twitch streamer’s presence across platforms by linking Twitch streams to YouTube uploads. When a new YouTube video by a specific Twitch streamer is uploaded, Zapier logs this activity in your IT system for further integration or analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Twitch + YouTube integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Twitch and YouTube
Can I stream on Twitch and YouTube at the same time?
Yes, you can stream on both platforms simultaneously using third-party software that supports multi-streaming, as Twitch and YouTube natively do not support this function directly through their platforms.
How can I automatically upload Twitch broadcasts to my YouTube channel?
We allow you to set up an automation where your completed Twitch broadcasts are automatically uploaded to your YouTube channel. This is done by linking your Twitch and YouTube accounts with our platform, setting a trigger for when a broadcast ends on Twitch, which then initiates an action to upload the video to YouTube.
Is it possible to sync my Twitch chat with my YouTube live stream?
Currently, there isn't a direct feature to sync chats between Twitch and YouTube live streams through our integration. However, community-developed solutions or specific streaming software might offer some workarounds.
What happens if I want new followers from Twitch to subscribe to my YouTube channel automatically?
While we cannot automatically subscribe new Twitch followers to your YouTube channel due to platform restrictions, we can send them notifications or prompts encouraging them to subscribe based on a trigger like gaining a new follower.
Are there automations available for notifying my audience about new content on both platforms?
Yes, our service provides automations where you can set triggers when new content is published on one platform (e.g., uploading a video on YouTube) which can then alert your audience via another action, such as sending a message or notification across platforms including emails or social media posts.
Can I monetize the content streamed simultaneously on both platforms?
Monetization depends on each platform's policies. When streaming simultaneously, you'll need to comply with both Twitch's and YouTube's monetization rules. Our integration does not interfere with monetization settings; it's primarily used for syncing and automating tasks between the services.
How can I track viewer statistics across both platforms effectively?
To track viewer statistics from both platforms efficiently, you can use analytics tools that compile data from multiple sources into one unified dashboard. Our integration focuses more on content management than analytics provision directly.
