Some of the most important aspects of being a streamer is creating the channel page. Your channel page is where you can put your informations about you and your stream for your viewers to see.

Click the button below to download the Bite The Bullet Twitch Asset!

Use the table below as reference to the proper sizing of graphic that you can use on your Twitch channel.

OPTIMIZE YOUR FILE SIZE

Twitch is pretty flexible when it comes to the file size of images that you can upload and use for your page. In general, we’re working with a 10 MB size limit. If you’re over the limit, and haven’t quested your way to higher graphics editing XP, use a tool like EZ Gif or Tiny PNG with lossless compression.

TO GIF, OR NOT TO GIF

This is entirely up to the individual. As a general rule of thumb, you don’t need to GIF hard in most cases. GIFs are great for animations like emotes. For general customization on your Twitch graphics, you will want to stick to PNG or JPG. PNG files are perfect for cases where you need to maintain transparency in the background. There are significant file size differences for both, and JPG offers better compression and smaller overall files.

LET’S MAKE SOME TWITCH GRAPHICS

The world is your oyster, and you have infinite options when it comes to your graphics.

If you’re not a Photoshop pro, stroll over and download GIMP for digital design. If GIMP isn’t doing it for you, simple apps like Placeit get the job done fast and with great results. It’s the perfect option for the graphics novice, and a streamer beginner that doesn’t yet have a fully distilled brand style guide to work from.

Take a template and tweak until your heart is content. Save it, upload it to Twitch, and you’re in business!

After you’ve become a partner with Twitch you unlock some very cool customization perks. The most exciting to many Twitch fans are the Cheermotes on your channel. You can set 5 unique cheermotes depending on each tier of Bits 1, 100, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000. In simple mode you just need to upload the 112 x 112 size of your cheermote. In advanced mode you can upload in 5 different sizes: 28 x 28, 42 x 42, 56 x 56, 84 x 84, and 112 x 112.

In most cases, simple mode will do just fine. The advanced mode is most useful when a cheermote looks best at higher resolutions, and is harder to distinguish at smaller resolutions.

• Deeper levels of engagement between a streamer and their audience.
• Infinite replayability.
• All you can eat fun.

Audience Voting

Viewers earn points while watching and can spend them at any time to:

• Refill Chewie’s HP
• Spawn single enemies or groups of enemies
• Spawn different tiers of randomized weapons
• Spawn different kinds of items (nutrient pickups)

“Popcorn” Engagement

Viewers opt-in to a raffle system where they spend points to cause an in-game effect of their choice if they win.

Summary:

The bot says in the chat that a raffle is happening and gives exact instructions on how to participate (“Type !raffle followed by the name of a paid command. For example: !raffle spawnenemy”), and says how long the raffle will last. When viewers participate, the bot acknowledges them. When the duration of the raffle ends, the raffle winner is announced in game and chat, and their chosen effect. C takes place. A new raffle then begins.

Detailed Description:

While the player is in gameplay (not in the main menu or hub world) a bot will periodically announce a raffle, giving instructions on how to participate. Viewers follow the instructions given by the bot to ‘bet’ a fixed amount of points to participate in the raffle. The viewer can pick from any paid command in their submission to the raffle. If they win the raffle, their prize is the command they chose being applied in-game. For example, it costs 100 points to participate in the raffle, and you can put up a 1000-point cost command as your bet. If you win the raffle, your 1000 point command is applied to gameplay and it only costs you the risked amount of 100 points. The winner of the raffle is announced in chat (along with the effect they chose) and the raffle then repeats. Additionally, the name of the winner is shown in game in a popup, also showing the effect they chose.

The instructions the bot provides at raffle start are:

"A new raffle has begun! The raffle will last seconds. Type !raffle followed by the name of a paid command. For example: !raffle spawnenemy"

The raffle has dynamic timings to prevent spam in inactive streams. If no viewers participated in the last raffle, the new raffle will wait several times longer for raffle entries to come in. The default raffle duration is 5 minutes. During this time, any viewer can cast in their raffle. If no one participated in the previous raffle cycle, the next raffle will last 25 minutes. As a baseline, the bot only sends messages at the beginning and end of the raffle - first to announce it is happening, and second to announce the winner. When a user submits a raffle entry, the bot responds stating that the user's submission has been received. Users are able to submit multiple raffle entries to improve their odds of winning, but each submission still has the same cost in points.
