About

Twitch, owned by Amazon, is the world's leading live streaming platform. It started as a gaming platform but has expanded to music, talk shows, cooking, sports, and more. Watching is free; you can chat in real time with streamers and their community. Channel subscriptions (from $4.99/mo) let you support your favorite streamers and unlock perks like emotes and ad-free viewing for that channel.
