How to add links to your Twitch bio and channel
To add links on Twitch, open Creator Dashboard from your profile icon, then go to Settings, Channel, and the About tab. Under Profile Settings you can write a bio of up to 300 characters and add up to five social links, each with a title and a full URL. Click Add for each link, then Save Changes.
Add your bio and links, step by step
- Log in, click your profile icon in the top right, and open Creator Dashboard.
- Go to Settings, then Channel, then the About tab.
- Under Profile Settings, write your bio (up to 300 characters).
- In the social links area, type a title in the first box, like “Follow me on Instagram”, and the full URL in the second.
- Click Add for each link, up to five, then Save Changes.
Twitch suggests writing the bio in your own voice: what you play or make, and what your streams are like. The bio character counter checks your text against the 300-character limit.
Use panels for everything else
Below your stream, the About section can hold panels: small blocks with a title, an image, a description, and a link. Use them for things that need a sentence of context, like your schedule, your rules, a sponsor, or a tip link. Panels are edited from your channel page when you’re logged in.
What to link from Twitch
Five social links go quickly. Most streamers use them for the platforms where they post clips and announcements, plus one link to a page that holds the rest.
- Where you post clips and highlights, like YouTube or TikTok.
- Your community space, if you have one.
- Your schedule, if it lives somewhere other than Twitch.
- A page with merch, sponsors, and a business email.
What the page should show
Someone clicking from your channel wants to know when you’re live and where else to find you. Lead with that, then the rest.
- A link to your Twitch channel and one line about your schedule.
- Your other platforms, with a word on what goes where.
- Merch or a shop link, if you sell something.
- A business email for sponsors and collaborations.
The Creator template on SayHi puts one featured link at the top and smaller links below, which suits a stream lobby. A Twitch link on the page opens your channel; the stream itself isn’t embedded.
Mistakes to avoid
- All five social links pointing at the same link page.
- A bio that lists games but never says what your streams are like.
- Panels with images but no links, so viewers can’t act on them.

Draft a lobby page from the links you already use, then add it as one of your five Twitch links.
