Got a Twitch clip you want gone? Here’s how to delete a single clip, remove multiple clips at once, and clean up clips from your channel.

Forgot to change your Twitch title before going live? Here’s how to update your stream title and category from Twitch, OBS, mobile, or with a chat command.

Quiet chat does not have to mean an awkward stream. Learn how to avoid dead air, narrate naturally, handle lurkers, and keep viewers engaged even when nobody is talking.

Eventually, if you stream long enough, you’re probably going to have to move OBS to another computer. Maybe you finally upgraded your streaming PC. Maybe your old computer is on its last legs. Maybe something crashed and forced the issue. Or maybe you’ve simply reached the point where your current setup isn’t keeping up with what you’re trying to do anymore. Whatever the reason, getting the new computer is the fun part. Moving everything over? Not so much.

I've spent most of my adult life around them. Between working with audio-visual equipment, DJ gear, computers, streaming setups, USB hubs, monitors, adapters and everything else we creators manage to plug into something, I have accumulated more drawers and bags full of cables than I care to count. And one thing I've learned is that cables are very easy to overlook.

Someone raids your stream or another creator comes into your chat, and a shoutout gives your viewers a quick way to discover that person's channel. Twitch does have its own built-in /shoutout command. In practice, though, if you've spent much time around Twitch communities, you're probably very familiar with !so. It's commonly used with chat bots and has become one of those commands that many streamers and moderators type almost automatically.

Twitch has confirmed that channel content can be used to train generative AI models developed by Amazon, which owns Twitch. The content involved can include material creators publish through their channels, including streams and videos. This isn't the same thing as Twitch simply using AI features. Twitch already uses machine-learning and AI-powered systems for things like recommendations, discovery, moderation and other platform features. What's causing the current cont

For years, that created a frustrating problem for OBS users. OBS Studio was built around a traditional 16:9 canvas. While there were clever workarounds for creating vertical streams, most of them required duplicate scenes, complicated transforms, multiple instances of OBS, or enough trial and error to make even experienced streamers question whether it was worth the effort. Fortunately, that's changed.

A Twitch stream might last three, four, or even eight hours, but most people aren't going to sit through an entire VOD looking for your funniest moments, clutch plays, meaningful conversations, or the moments that make your community special. That's where Twitch clips come in. A great clip captures the highlight of your stream in less than a minute. It's easy to share, easy to watch, and it can become someone's first introduction to your channel.

If your goal is to restore your headphones back to their original look, replacing the ear pads is one of the easiest upgrades you can make. There are replacement cushions available that are designed to closely match the original style, shape, and fit of the factory ear cups. Choosing a plain black replacement will give your headphones that fresh-out-of-the-box appearance again, while still preserving the original design that made you love them in the first place.

For some creators, the microphone is the entire experience. Maybe you're doing a cozy stream, a late-night gaming session, a podcast, a VTube stream, or content where you aren't always on camera. In those situations, your voice has to carry the connection. And if you have a naturally unique voice—a deep voice, a soothing voice, a textured voice, or a voice with a lot of personality—the right microphone can highlight those qualities instead of flattening them.

Thinking about collaborating with other streamers? Learn how Twitch Stream Together works, how to set up collaborations, use Shared Chat, and grow your community with one of Twitch's most powerful networking features.

Twitch Watch Streaks reward viewers for consistently supporting their favorite creators. Learn how the feature works, how to recover a missed streak, and why it's becoming one of Twitch's best community-building tools.

Once you understand how Display Capture records your monitor, how Window Capture communicates with individual applications, how Game Capture hooks directly into games, and why Application Capture exists, OBS starts making a lot more sense. Instead of trying random fixes from forum posts or Reddit threads, you can troubleshoot based on what's actually happening behind the scenes.

A lot of streamers think Twitch monetization starts when they hit Affiliate or when they finally get “big enough.” But in reality, income on Twitch has very little to do with the moment you unlock features—and everything to do with how your stream is structured around support. You can have people watching you every day and still make nothing if there’s no clear path for viewers to support your content. On the flip side, smaller creators can start earning early just by sett

Twitch streaming has evolved far beyond a single horizontal layout. Viewers are now split between traditional desktop watching and mobile-first discovery, which means creators need setups that work in both directions at the same time. That’s where dual format streaming comes in. With the right OBS setup, you can broadcast a horizontal stream for traditional viewers while simultaneously pushing a vertical canvas for mobile audiences. This allows you to stay discoverable

If you’ve ever watched a streamer and thought, “This just looks clean,” there’s a good chance part of that feeling is coming from something really simple: scene transitions. It’s one of those small setup details inside OBS Studio that most people don’t think about at first. You don’t need transitions for your stream to work, and plenty of streams run perfectly fine without them. But once you add them, it’s an easy way to give your content a more polished, intentional feel

Maybe you're setting up a drawing stream and want your audience to see both your face and your artwork at the same time. You spend time getting the lighting just right. One camera is pointed at you, the other is positioned perfectly over your sketchbook. Everything looks ready to go. Then OBS decides it only wants to recognize one camera. I've run into this problem more times than I'd like to admit. In fact, most of the time OBS has no problem detecting a single webcam.

As someone who spends a lot of time on Twitch, I've seen this play out more times than I can count. You're in a busy chat, topics are flying, the conversation is moving fast — and then the streamer responds to something you said two minutes ago, completely out of context. Or worse, they misread the whole vibe of what you were saying because the moment has already passed. What felt relevant thirty seconds ago now lands like a non-sequitur, and suddenly there's a wall of co

You plug in your capture card, launch OBS Studio, add a Video Capture Device source... ...and nothing happens. No signal. No image. Your card is not being detected by OBS. Whether you're trying to capture a gaming console, DSLR camera, second PC, or another video source, a capture card that refuses to appear in OBS can quickly turn a streaming session into a troubleshooting marathon.
