Twitch is a live streaming video platform. As a streamer, you can broadcast your own gaming experience and even monetize the process through the Affiliate Program. With discovery tools to help viewers find your content, everyone will know where to discover your channel and join your journey.

As a viewer, you can watch live streams for free, follow channels, participate in channel chat rooms, and purchase Bits (or special emojis) to support your favorite channels. Millions of streamers and viewers work together to create a channel and culture that’s exactly what you want it to be.

Plus, Twitch Extensions enable you to create live apps that interact with the stream, as a panel on a channel or with chat. Create interactive experiences such as mini-games, leaderboards, live gear information, and more.

Now that Twitch integrates with Zapier, it's easier than ever to automate your live streaming workflows. You can connect Twitch to any of 1,300+ apps, making it easy to keep your followers in the loop—and this is just the beginning of Zapier's involvement in gaming. Here are a just a few ways you can make the most of the new Twitch integration with Zapier:

  • Streamers can automate their social posts to their fans across Twitter and Discord.
  • Automatically let people know what's trending by sharing on Discord that a Twitch stream is live and has a certain number of viewers watching it.
  • Streamers can keep track of all their followers in a Google Sheets spreadsheet so that they make sure that they are giving their fans the content that they want.
