There are a lot of questions that people have about Twitch streaming. Can you sleep on a Twitch stream? Can you eat on a Twitch stream? Can you go to the bathroom on a Twitch stream? These are just but a few questions that you might be asking yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, we will discuss everything you need to know on whether you can sleep on a Twitch Stream. Let’s get right into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can sleep on a Twitch stream and you are responsible for everything that goes on your stream and chat while sleeping. Twitch did not allow sleep streams until February 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Twitch did not allow sleep streams because it was considered that the streamer was not active or was absent on their live stream and sleep streams were categorized under unattended\/idle content. However, things have changed, and sleep streams are now allowed on Twitch and have a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We must point out that the terms of service still apply to sleep streams. This means you are held responsible for everything that happens on your stream or chat during a sleep stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, if you decide to take on a sleep stream, employ the proper techniques like getting a moderator to help you regulate the chat to prevent viewers from saying or sharing things that collide with the terms of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose the \u201cSleep\u201d<\/strong> or \u201cI\u2019m only sleeping\u201d<\/strong> category to set up a sleep stream on Twitch. After which, put up your equipment and set up your stream. Make sure to coordinate moderators who will watch over your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some resources out there will ask you to skip the category selection bit when setting up a sleep stream. However, this is against the terms of services and is punishable in Twitch. Therefore, always select the right category for your sleep stream and stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sleep streams are straightforward to set up. Although they do not attract as much traffic as other types of content, they sometimes generate very engaging content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how to set up your sleep stream quickly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Open your Twitch account, and click on the avatar<\/strong> on the upper right corner and select Creator Dashboard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow To Setup A Sleep Stream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
