Read here about how to suggest streamers on Twitch and what the benefits of this action are.

Steps to Suggesting Other Twitch Streamers

You only need to take a few simple steps to add some recommended popular streamers to your channel:

  • Step 1: Go to twitch.tv.
  • Step 2: Sign in to your Twitch channel.
  • Step 3: Find your profile picture in the top right part of the window and click on it.

  • Step 7: Click on Channel.
  • Step 8: Select the tab Featured Content and scroll down until you find My Streamer Shelf. You are offered three options here:
    • Autohost List – this option is for you if you want to choose the particularly suggested streamers for your host list manually. When you select this option, click the Edit button and choose streamers. You can add a new streamer, remove one, or reorder the list. For the latter two options, hover the mouse over a streamer, then click the trash icon to remove or click, hold, and drag to change the place of the streamer.
    • Team Members – this option will show the members of your Twitch team as recommendations. If you have two teams, one will be chosen automatically.
    • None – this option is there if you choose not to recommend anyone.
  • Step 9: Click the Save button on the bottom part of the My Streamer Shelf box.
  • Step 10: Go to the Home tab and scroll down to see your suggested streamers.

Why Should You Have a Suggested Streamers List?

There are many benefits to having this list as a part of your Twitch account.

Why Should You Have a Suggested Streamers List

Community

When you stream regularly and have an audience that follows your games (or any other content you are offering), building a community entails more than just having people stick to your channel exclusively.

Viewers want to watch a few streamers, so you can take advantage of that and create a community where you and your viewers watch similar channels and bond even more.

Network

Connecting with other Twitch streamers is very beneficial for your personal brand. Many co-streamers are open to suggesting your channel in return, which can get you a lot of new audiences.

And partnering with other gamers will certainly enrich your status and brand. And you may end up in an awesome Twitch team.

What Is a Twitch Team?

A Twitch team consists of a number of streamers who are there for each other to collaborate and boost viewership. New friends are made in this way, not only in the virtual world but in real life as well.

The members of a group usually have similar interests and content – it may include similar topics in your content or the games you play.

Members of a Twitch team usually suggest each other on their profiles, host, and raid each other’s streams.

Only a Twitch partner can create a team, but anyone can join. There is a limit on how many teams one streamer can create, but no limit on the number of teams one has joined.
