How Do Tags Help You Get Discovered On Twitch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tags won’t give you any sort of massive boost in the twitch algorithm however they definitely won’t hurt your stream. Tags allow viewers who are looking for a specific thing like cooking<\/strong> to more easily find people who are cooking on stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone is using tags as a filter to find a new streamer to watch, having tags in your stream makes you show up in them searches therefore giving you more visibility on Twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tags appear everywhere on Twitch. On the homepage below streams, below the video on a specific stream, game directories and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are now appearing in a much smaller pool of people and have a higher chance of someone clicking on your stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
