How To Unfollow On Twitch?

You might have got some channels that you found boring, therefore you decide to unfollow them. Unfollowing on Twitch is different from the other social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Those platforms use the concept of “following” a Twitch channel, so when you follow someone, everything that the user uploads will show up in your feed. This can be due to various reasons especially because sometimes you want to watch live streams without getting notifications all the time.

Twitch is an online live streaming platform that mainly caters to gaming streams. Through the platform, gamers can stream from all around the world no matter which device they are using. Aside from gaming, some streamers just chat with viewers in real-time. There are also talk shows available alongside podcasts, live panel discussions, and even cooking and food shows.

It is completely free to watch broadcasts and videos on Twitch. However, for a user to create a follow list of their favorite channels, they must create an account first – just like YouTube! The account allows the user to participate in the chatroom of each stream.

However, there are times that people would wish to unfollow some streamers. Since you can talk in real-time with some streamers, some reasons can be personal to you. This may be when the streamer switches formats, has become abusive in his/her language or ways, or just simply failed to inspire you.

If that’s the case, then you just have to follow these steps:
