  1. Before you start streaming, we advise you to connect to your Twitch account on a browser in order to configure your moderation and safety settings to make sure that your growing community experience remains positive. Automod is an ideal tool for playing the leading role in the moderation of your channel, as it can detect messages that have been identified as inappropriate in the cat and block them until you or one of your moderators approved or reject them. You can also modify your settings to add a personalized list of words or sentences that you do not want to see on your channel.

Streaming from PlayStation 5:

  1. You must first link your Twitch account to the PlayStation Network by following the indications on the screen and by scanning the QR code or by entering the code provided on Twitch.TV/Activate. If you have already linked your PlayStation Network and Twitch accounts on PS4, you can have them migrate on PS5 on this occasion. We remind you that double authentication is necessary to stream from your PS5, even if you have migrated your PlayStation Network and Twitch linked accounts.
