Completing Path to Partner unlocks the Apply button; it doesn't guarantee acceptance. Twitch also considers creators with a large, engaged audience on other platforms. Partner adds priority support, guaranteed transcoding and more emote slots.

Average viewers is weighted by time: a 10-hour stream at 40 viewers pulls the month down more than a 2-hour one

Example: 12 streams of 2 hours at 80 viewers (24 hours) plus one hour at 60 averages about 79 viewers over 25 hours, enough.

Frequently asked questions

Is Twitch Partner automatic?

No. Path to Partner lets you apply, and Twitch's team reviews each application.

Do I need to be Affiliate first?

It's the usual route; Twitch points streamers who don't yet qualify for Partner to Affiliate.
