The easiest way to do this is to give them your Twitch link. I've been at that stage of the streamer journey, where I was giving my URL to everyone I could find. And I'm very familiar with aspects of the platform such as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to get the link to your Twitch channel, I will show you exactly how to do that in this quick guide.

into your Twitch account if you aren't already.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on your display icon in the top right-hand corner of the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the \"Channel\" button here, which will take you straight to your Twitch channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you're on this page, all you need to do is click on your browser's address bar and copy the URL.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now paste the URL wherever you want to share it, whether it is in conversations with friends and family, on social media, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Twitch channel URL is usually \"twitch.tv\/\" followed by your username, but it is best to actually copy the channel link to be certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Get_My_Twitch_Channel_ID\"><\/span>How Can I Get My Twitch Channel ID?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Twitch channel ID is a unique numeric identifier that is created as soon as you make an account on Twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A channel ID isn't of much use to regular users but comes in handy if you're developing Twitch-related apps. Unlike your username, it can never be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike trying to get the Twitch channel URL though, Twitch doesn't offer an official way to get your channel ID as a user. You won't find it anywhere in the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, to get this done, you'd have to turn to the Twitch API, which you can already tell is outside of most users' expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, someone has used that API and made a convenient browser extension that lets you get your channel ID without much stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get this from the <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/twitch-username-and-user\/laonpoebfalkjijglbjbnkfndibbcoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chrome Web Store<\/a>, and you can use it even if you're on Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you launch this in your browser, all you need to do is type in your Twitch username and you'll get the channel ID in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_the_Embed_Code_for_Your_Twitch_Channel\"><\/span>How to Get the Embed Code for Your Twitch Channel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want people to enjoy your stream from various sources, like your website, you can embed the stream player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the embed code for your stream, just follow these basic steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/twitch.tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitch.tv<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, click your profile photo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \"Channel\" from here<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should see the video player that shows your stream. Go to the bottom right and click on the \"Share\" button (it has an arrow pointing upwards)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the \"Embed\" button here<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This will then bring up a window with the code needed for you if you want to embed your stream or its chat on a website or app of yours.
