The 5 most important things about Twitch

What is Twitch? Twitch is a platform on which people go live, either chatting with subscribers or playing a game. People can support the channel by donating or subscribing. Anyone who has a computer can open a channel and some are luckier than others. In our country we have great streamers who have reached very high levels on this platform like Raúl Álvarez, better known as Auronplay or Ibai Llanos. In another social network, but focused on direct. Which can then be saved to the channel in case people want to watch them later. With the presentation made, today we bring you the five most important things about the platform.

1. HOW TO STREAM ON TWITCH:

To stream on Twitch you don't need much, just a computer and if you want to make video, a camera for the computer. There are also people who prefer to use only a microphone because they prefer not to be seen.There are many programs that work to capture your signal and be compatible with Twitch. We'll get a little technical, for example, there is something called a 'OBS: Open Broadcaster Software', is a free downloadable, open source software that allows you to broadcast on Twitch.

Once you have downloaded the program, you will have to open an account on its website. Once the account is created, if your intention is to broadcast about a game, you have to enter the game, press the share button, and broadcast the game, and the broadcast begins. Then you can configure the details. Once you finish configuring you will be live.

2. INTERACTION WITH SUBSCRIBERS

When you open a channel, people can subscribe to the channel or simply follow that channel. To subscribe you have to pay a monthly fee, however following the channel is free. The difference is that if you are subscribed you can interact through a chat that appears in the live streams and the person who runs the channel reads it. Also one of the advantages of subscribing is that you don't get ads and you have exclusive emoticons.

3. HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON TWITCH:

To earn money on Twitch as a content creator, it can be by hiring ads on your live streams, whether those that are saved or those that are being broadcast at that moment. Also through people's donations. These donations are called “bits.” What is done with these bits is that whoever donates them can send a message to the streamer so that they can read it and in the process donate to support the channel.

Another option is to donate subscriptions, because with this you can help people who cannot afford the subscription (who are on a waiting list). And finally there is the 'Twitch Prime' option, which means that if you have an Amazon Prime account you can link it to Twitch and the subscriptions are free.

4. THINGS NOT TO DO ON TWITCH

One of the things not to do is copy content from other streamers. You have to be original and create your own space on the platform. Neither can unauthorized private information be disseminated. Obviously you can't impersonate anyone either. You must have correct conduct. You cannot play pirated games or games from unauthorized private servers.

5. HOW TO WATCH THE LIVE ONCE FINISHED

If you wanted to watch a live stream from your favorite streamer, but you haven't had time, don't worry. Normally streamers leave their live shows saved in their profile so you can watch them whenever you want. But what you have to keep in mind is that they are deleted every 15 days.

In conclusion, right now one of the streaming platforms that works as a Social Network, Twitch is booming the most, and it is normal given the great qualities it has. It seems that the platform is here to stay.
