# Twitch

Twitch is a great alternative to use if embedding live streams are disabled on your YouTube account. It offers a 5-second delay as opposed to YouTube’s 2-3 second delay (with ultra-low latency settings). Twitch uses the same live stream link always, so you can set it once and use it as many times as you need.

## **1.** Create an Account 

Do this by going to <https://www.twitch.tv/>

## **2:** Get the Channel Name&#x20;

Go to your homepage, tap on your account icon located on the top right corner of your screen and note the name. In this example, it is **paybee\_inc.**

## **3:** Format the Link

Incorporate the channel name by using the following format:

<https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=**channelname**\\&parent=paybee.io>

Using the above example, the embed link would be as follows:

<https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=**paybee\\_inc**\\&parent=paybee.io>

## **4:** Connect to PayBee

Go back to your virtual event settings and paste the embed link as your Live Stream URL

1. Navigate to **Manage -> Virtual Events > Edit > Live Stream Info**.
2. Set Stream Provider to Twitch and paste the [URL](https://docs.paybee.io/home/video-production/video-production/youtube/youtube-settings#getting-the-embed-link).
3. Hit Save.

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTZOrRWWpgs&ab_channel=PayBeeVideos>" %}

You have now connected Twitch to PayBee and can use platforms like StreamYard, eCamm, vMix, etc to broadcast your live stream to Twitch.

## 5. Low Latency

Twitch usually sets your latency to Low by default. To confirm and update if necessary, follow instructions at <https://bit.ly/39A1qvG>.
