Twitch offers multiple different ways of sharing streaming links, and each offers pros and cons. Here's a quick rundown of what's best for each scenario. Twitter sharing. Twitter has a very active gaming community, and if you're keen to develop a reputation across social media as an avid streamer, this is a great first port of call for doing so. It's a fun place to share links with friends too. Facebook sharing. It's likely your Facebook profile is more private than other forms of social media, but that means you can share Twitch streams with closer friends and family. VK sharing. VK is a Russian social media and social networking service, so it's not massively well known worldwide. However, it has at least 600 million accounts, so it's still a good outlet for gaining more followers. Reddit sharing. Reddit has a particularly expansive gaming community. Whether you're sharing to r/gaming or a Reddit devoted to the particular game you're playing, it can be a reliable source of followers or simply a way to share something cool you've seen. Copy URL sharing. Ultimately, you have the most control over how you share a stream via simply copying the URL. If you want to privately message someone the stream or send it via iMessage or SMS, this is the best route. How to Watch Multiple Twitch Streams Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
