Twitch: The 5 best extensions

Twitch Extensions are interactive overlays and panels that keep you up to date on current developments in your stream. We present you the five best.

1) Twitch Extension Streamlabs

Streamlabs is the Swiss Army knife among the Twitch Extensions.

• You can use it to generate surveys among your viewers, which then appear as an interactive, graphic overlay in the stream.
• You can also request music requests for the stream and distribute loyalty points.
• There are points for long viewing, for example, but other options are also available.

2) Twitch Cheer statistics

The Twitch Extension Leaderboard generates statistics about how often your channel was checked. This way, your followers can immediately see who supports you the most. The statistics are displayed as an overlay in the stream. You can set yourself how this overlay should look and over which periods the cheers are counted.

3) Spotify Now Playing: Twitch Extension

Do you regularly play music in your stream and your followers want to know what music it is? The Twitch Extension Spotify: Now Playing gets the necessary metadata from the Spotify database. The cover, the artist and the title are then shown in the stream and you no longer have to answer the questions about the music individually.

4) Product recommendations during Twitch Streams

With the Twitch Extension Gear on Amazon you recommend viewers your favorite products and earn money if your viewers buy the product via your link. For example, you can create an area in your profile by listing which hardware you are streaming or which devices you prefer to use. You then link the individual products to the Amazon web shop. If a viewer purchases the product via your link, you will receive an advertising reimbursement of one to ten percent.

5) Geolocation of the Twitch viewers

Where do your viewers come from? The Twitch Extension Viewer geolocation gives you an overview of the countries in the world from which your viewers come. This is shown as a list of the national flags with the respective number of spectators next to it. This overview can also be integrated in the stream as an overlay.

You can find out which other tools a streamer should not be missing and how you can create your own Twitch overlays in further chip articles.
