Twitch and Discord are two applications that share many similarities and differences. Twitch is synonymous with streaming, while Discord is synonymous with video game chat. We love both apps, and that is why we enjoy incorporating them into our lives. Without a doubt, it offers more interaction between streamers and their audience. That’s precisely why, in this article, we show you the steps needed to connect Discord to Twitch.
If you’re a streamer, you are probably aware of Discord StreamKit. A set of tools in the application includes the integration of Twitch, Patreon, Nightbot, among other tools. But if you are a beginner in this streaming, you have little knowledge of Twitch or Discord, do not worry, here we tell you everything you need to follow to integrate the broadcast platform.
Connect, Integrate or Link Discord with Twitch
Linking Twitch to Discord allows you to stream while providing a Discord channel so your followers can interact during or after the broadcast. If you have a community that likes to spend time, even outside the broadcasts, this option can work very well.
To perform the integration, we will use the Connection features built into Discord. The initial setting has to be yes or yes on a PC. Only once everything is set up can you use the functions on the mobile. It may take a little while for the platforms to synchronize, so if you do not see everything automatically, do not give up.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Open Discord and go to User Settings.
- In this section, select connections from the menu on the left.
- Select the Twitch icon in the right panel. A window will immediately appear, asking you to enter your Twitch username and password to link it to Discord.
- Agree to allow Twitch to access Discord. After that, you will find all the streamers you are subscribed to, and you will be able to join their servers from that page.
Join a Discord Linked Server
Joining a Twitch-linked Discord server is as simple as joining any other server. Once Discord and Twitch sync their settings, a list of your Twitch subscriptions that have been linked to Discord.
- Select User Settings from the icon next to your username.
- Go to connections and select the Twitch icon.
- Select the Discord server which you want to join from the Purple List on the right.
- Click Join to join the desired server.
If you are not a streamer, those are all the steps to connect Discord to Twitch. Now both applications can work together. If you are a streamer, you need to take a few more steps to integrate and get much more complete features.
Enable Integrations
If you own a server on Discord and a Twitch channel with subscribers, it is important to enabling integrations. For that, follow the following steps:
On your server, go to server settings and select integrations. In that section, synchronize your server with your Twitch account, and a permissions role will appear specifically for your followers on the streaming platform. You can change the name of that role and its permissions in server settings after Roles.
Enable Streamer Mode
Streamer Mode is an important part of streaming as it helps with privacy. When activated, it hides sensitive information about your account and server invitations to prevent abuse.
It also disables notifications, so they do not appear in your streaming. To activate it, go to server settings after Streamer Mode. Click Next to enable Streamer Mode to activate it.
