Twitch Studio for Windows is an app that helps you stream yourself playing video games and pick up some fans along the way. Since Twitch launched, it changed the world of video games. You no longer need to spend hours tracking down YouTube videos of gameplay because you can watch others play that game live. This app is perfect for beginners who want to stream their content.

It wasn't that long ago that people laughed at the idea of others making money as they played video games. Twitch changed all that. When you set up an account, you have the chance to upload videos and offer live streams as you play. Others who follow you become your fans. They can donate money to you just to watch you play or give you gifts that help you with your favorite games. The world of streaming is so confusing though that many people stop before they start. Twitch Studio makes the process easier because it walks you through video game streaming and shows you how to use Twitch.

With Twitch Studio, you get access to templates that make it easy for you to upload your videos. You can use different ones that work with your online brand and those that fit different games. The templates come with sections that allow others to follow you as you play live and let them switch between any other games that you play. You'll find another button that lets them know when you need to take a break and one that shows when you're away from the game for a few hours. Using those buttons will tell your fans that you're away but will be back.

Designed for those who have little to no experience with Twitch, the app lets you design custom templates with features such as a wallpaper made from a still shot from a former game and colors that work with those seen in the game. Once you have more experience using the included templates, you'll have fun creating your own. Thanks to the activity feed, you'll always know what is going on with your feed. Twitch Studio updates you when you pick up a new fan and when someone leaves a comment. You can even use the app to interact with your fans. Leaving a comment for a person or sending them a private message lets them know that you appreciate them.

Using Twitch is a great way to show off your video game skills and connect with other players. If you want to use this streaming site and become an online video gamer but don't know how, start with Twitch Studio from the developers behind the site.
