About
Twitch is a live streaming service owned by Amazon. It began in 2011 as the gaming section of Justin.tv and became its own site. Amazon bought it in 2014.
Streamers broadcast live video, most often of video games, along with music, art, cooking and talk shows in the Just Chatting category. Viewers watch for free, chat with the streamer and others, and follow channels to get alerts when they go live. Past broadcasts can be saved as videos and cut into short clips. Moderation tools let streamers and their moderators manage chat. Esports events and game launches are often streamed on Twitch.
Twitch is free to watch and earns money through ads. Viewers can support streamers with paid subscriptions, Bits used to cheer in chat, and gifted subs. Amazon Prime members get one free channel subscription each month through Prime Gaming. Streamers in the Partner and Affiliate programs share this income with Twitch. Twitch runs on the web, iOS, Android, consoles and smart TVs. It is the largest live streaming site for gaming in the US and Europe.
