How to link Twitch to Discord on a PC or Mac?

If you use Discord and Twitch on a desktop device, you can connect Twitch to Discord using the following steps:

1. Open the Discord and Twitch apps. Make sure you are logged in to your accounts on both. You can also open both accounts in a browser instead of using the apps.
2. Now, go to Discord and click on the gear icon next to your username. This takes you to ‘User Settings’. Here, go to ‘Connections’. You should see a box with the logos of all the possible accounts you can connect to Discord. Twitch would be first on the list.
3. Click on the Twitch logo. Discord automatically detects your Twitch account if the auto detect option is enabled. The app will now take you to a browser window or the Twitch app. Here you may need to login to your Twitch account if not already logged in.
4. Once done, authorize the app and your Twitch account will be connected to your Discord account.
5. On Discord, you’ll be able to see all the Twitch streamers you’ve subscribed to in the ‘Connections’ tab. You can now press the ‘Join Server’ button and you’ll get the special sub role in their server.

Note: You can follow the same steps for Twitch Studio integration, too.
