How To Subscribe With Twitch Prime?

A twitch prime is a premium subscription included on the Prime Video and Amazon Prime memberships that allow streamers to unlock free subscriptions with Twitch Prime. I will help you know how to go about this process at the comfort of your home on various devices.

To subscribe with twitch prime, you will create a twitch account then link it to your Amazon account. On your chosen browser, visit twitch.tv, and on the top right corner, you will see a signup tab. Click on this tab and follow its prompts to create your account.

Generally, twitch users prefer anonymity and avail very little information about themselves on the platform. Thus, you can use one of your names as your username. Once your account is set up, go to Twitch.tv/prime, then click Try Twitch Prime to subscribe to twitch prime.

Next, follow the prompts and sign in to your Amazon account. With both accounts set up, you should link them up by clicking the confirm tab, and you are good to go.

Upon subscription to twitch prime, you will gain access to all its existing bonuses. You can also start supporting your favorite content creator by subscribing to their account. Every thirty days, you will get a free subscription, and after each month lapses, you will get a reminder. You should note that linking your twitch and amazon account is a one-time affair, and this connection is available on all devices, including iPhone and Xbox One.

Some of the benefits you will access as a Twitch Prime subscriber include a prime chat badge, free subscriptions to your preferred channel, exclusive emoticons, in-game content, bonus games, extended storage for your broadcast, and chat color options.

These benefits are exclusive for anyone who is also an Amazon Prime subscriber. Thus, linking your Twitch and Amazon accounts is inevitable if you want to reap the above benefits.

Given that you need an Amazon Prime subscription to access the benefits of a twitch prime subscriber, it is worth understanding the relationship between these two accounts.

An Amazon Prime, like twitch prime, is a premium subscription that gives subscribers access to a large library of books, TV shows, movies, discounted shipping and unlimited cloud storage, among others. Subscribing to Twitch automatically unlocks your amazon subscription, given that these two services work in tandem.

If you want to subscribe to twitch prime but there is none available at the moment, the subscription button will be greyed out and will display the date when you can use it next.

However, if there is no date listed, you should review your Amazon account and confirm it is correctly linked to your Twitch account. Also, while reviewing your account, confirm that your Prime Membership is active and includes a monthly subscription.

How To Use Twitch Prime Sub?

When you subscribe to Twitch Prime, you will receive a free thirty-day Amazon Prime trial. Upon expiry of the amazon trial, you will get a free Twitch subscription option.

Depending on your location, click the appropriate box. You will see a banner at the top of the chat for the channel you have subscribed to. To share the stream, click the Share button on the banner and type in a custom message in the text box that populates.

If you want to cancel your Twitch subscription as a new subscriber, you will have to wait until your 30-day subscription expires. After that, you can subscribe to any other channel. Also, you will need to renew your subscriptions manually as renewal is not automatic. To do this, go to the channel that you want to subscribe to and click the Subscribe tab.
