How to Link Twitch to Discord

Twitch is a live streaming platform primarily used for video game streaming but also used for other forms of entertainment such as music, talk shows, and creative content. It has a large and active community of creators and viewers.

Discord is a communication platform designed for gamers but also used by communities of all types. It offers voice and text chat, as well as integrations with various other platforms and tools.

Linking Twitch and Discord can be useful for a variety of reasons. For viewers, it can allow them to get notified in Discord when their favorite streamers go live. For streamers, it can allow them to manage their Discord community from within Twitch and bring their Discord community into their Twitch stream. Linking the two platforms can also allow for a more seamless experience for both creators and viewers, as they can easily switch between the two platforms without having to log in and out.

Setting up a Discord server

Once you have created an account and logged in, click on the “+” icon in the left sidebar to create a new server.
Choose a name for your server and select a region that is closest to the majority of your users.

Click “Create” to create your server.
You will now be taken to the server dashboard. Here, you can customize the appearance and settings of your server. You can also invite people to join your server by clicking on the “Invite People” button in the left sidebar and sharing the invite link with them.

That’s it! You have successfully created a Discord server.
