Frequently asked questions
Twitch Extensions are components from third-party developers that live within Twitch and provide extra functionality for live streamers and their viewers. Extensions can help encourage engagement by adding interactive elements to your stream, provide information for viewers, and much more. There are several types of extensions that offer differing functionality. These available extension types include:
- Panel Extensions: These are extensions that can be added to your Twitch profile as a panel. Examples include the Streamlabs Stream Schedule & Countdown, Leaderboard, and Merch Store Extensions.
- Overlay Extensions: These are extensions that display on top of your stream video as a transparent overlay. An example is the Streamlabs Extension, which allows viewers to interact with your stream by earning and redeeming loyalty points, voting in polls, and more.
- Component Extensions: these are extensions that display as part of your stream, take up part of the screen, but are hideable by viewers. An example is the Fortnite Scout Extension.
