How To Upload Videos On Twitch?

Twitch is an American video live streaming service founded in June 2011. Its main focus is video game live streaming, which includes e-sports competitions, music broadcasts, creative content, and real-life streaming. 

Before I explain how to upload videos on Twitch, it should be noted that the individual needs to be a Twitch affiliate first to start uploading videos on Twitch. 

Now let us know about Twitch affiliates. Twitch Affiliate is a program provided by Twitch to take a step further to ensure that Twitch continues to be the best streaming platform in the world for everyone. With the help of the Twitch affiliate program now, qualified streamers can come one step closer to their dreams of making a living from their passion. The streamers are known by the name Twitch Affiliates. Twitch affiliates can now start earning on Twitch by building their audience base and working towards the coveted status of Twitch partners.

The requirements to join the Twitch affiliate program are given below:-

• Reach at least 50 followers.
• Streaming of a minimum of 8 hours or a total of 500 minutes broadcast is a must. 
• Stream on the 7 different days of the month.
• An average of 3 or more concurrent viewers is required. Concurrent viewers are those who are constantly watching the live stream or the live stream being watched at the same time. Concurrent viewers should not be confused with the total number of viewers that one gets on their stream. 

All 4 requirements need to be fulfilled over a period of 30 days to qualify for the Twitch affiliate program. If a streamer is under 18 years old on the date of signing the Twitch affiliate agreement, then your parent or guardian will have to agree on the terms of the Twitch affiliate program. 

Once all the 4 necessary requirements are met, twitch reaches out to the Twitch streamers within a few weeks to invite you to join the Twitch affiliate program. It is not mandatory to join a Twitch affiliate program, but if one joins the Twitch affiliate program, they get a lot of benefits, which acts as a cherry on the cake. If one becomes a Twitch affiliate, then they can have viewers subscribe to their channel, collect bits, have custom emotes for the page or channel, and use channel points to use, among other things. 

The payment on Twitch is made to Twitch affiliates once they reach the pre-tax amount of at least $ 100. This $ 100 will include money received from the subscribers along with the various monetization methods availed. The money received from the sale of merchandise or donations that are received from third parties will not be included in the payment of the amount before tax which is $ 100 or more. If a minimum of $ 100 has not been reached yet, then Twitch will carry forward the money to the next month. Once the amount before tax is $ 100 or more, a twitch will pay the amount 15 days after the end of that month. The amount is received within 3 to 5 days in the account to get reflected.
