Stream titles, category and tags
On Twitch, viewers find streams through categories and tags. Title, category and channel description should tell the same story.
Full tracking for this surface is in development. This page describes the intended scope, and the free tools work today.
What we check
- Does the stream title describe the content?
- Are category and tags right?
- Are the channel description and panels filled in?
Limit: Directory order depends on factors like live viewers and isn’t guaranteed.
