How To Connect Twitch To Discord?

You've probably heard about Twitch by now, but if not, it's a platform for personal streams of gamers playing live video games. Users are allowed to share their stream and even monetize it in several ways. One of the ways to get viewers is via giveaways that are announced on Discord servers. Fortunately, this operation can be automated with a bot called Nightbot. In this article, we will explain how to connect Twitch to Discord so that giveaways can be announced automatically.

With its growing popularity of about 250 million users worldwide and approximately 100 million active users each month, Discord is quickly becoming one of the primary platforms for communication and socialization among gamers. Its voice, call, and chat features are a plus for gamers across multiple servers.

Twitch is another world-leading platform that allows users to live stream. It primarily focuses on video game live streaming, which includes esports competition broadcasts and more recently “in real life” streams.

Both Discord and Twitch are free and are commonly used by gamers. For Twitch viewers and streamers, Discord is also a good place to connect to their friends and followers in one setting. Fortunately, Discord allows apps like Twitch to easily integrate a Twitch account to a Discord account.
