About the company
Twitch runs a live video service where creators broadcast gaming, music, sports, and everyday conversations to viewers who participate through chat. Its channels combine live broadcasts with community features such as custom emotes and moderation tools, making the audience part of the show. Viewers follow creators and join their channels to watch performances, discuss shared interests, and support the people behind the streams. Twitch earns money from advertising, paid channel subscriptions, and Bits, virtual goods viewers buy to support creators, sharing eligible revenue with streamers. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, Twitch is owned by Amazon.
