Twitch Partner Program
The Twitch Partnership Program is for those who are committed to streaming and are ready to level up from Affiliate. Twitch Partners are creators who stream a variety of content, from games, music, talk shows, art, to just about anything else you can imagine. If you love sharing what you do with a live community, and have built up a sizable audience on Twitch or other services, we want to hear from you! If you want to learn more about how to grow your channel on Twitch, visit Twitch Creator Camp.
As a Twitch Partner, you’ll have access to the following benefits:
Monetization:
- Channel Subscriptions & emotes: Twitch Partners can earn revenue by accepting subscriptions from their viewers. The subscription options are: $5.99, $9.99, $24.99, or the Prime Gaming free subscription. Partners can also unlock up to 50 channel emotes.
- Bits: Bits are a virtual good viewers can buy to Cheer on your channel, allowing them to support you without leaving Twitch. Twitch provides participating Partners a share of the revenue Twitch receives from Bits equal to 1 cent per Bit used to Cheer for them. As a Partner, you also get to customize your Cheermotes and Bit Badges.
- Ads: Partners earn a share of the revenue generated from any ads played on their channel. Partners can determine the length and frequency of mid-roll advertisements through their dashboard.
Special features to help you grow your channel:
- Channel customization:
- VOD Features
- Extended VOD Storage: Partners have VODs stored for 60 days, vs only 14 days for Affiliates.
- Reruns and Premieres: Rebroadcast past content and show off new videos to your audience.
