Videos, uploading, and Twitch

It is easy to upload a video from your local storage to your Twitch channel. Whenever your viewers visit your channel and see that you are offline, these videos will keep them engaged. Most people on Twitch are viewers rather than gamers, so why don't you grab your share of the views by uploading a great video?

You can only upload a video that is either an MP4, an MOV, an AVI, or an FLV file. It should also be h264 codes with AAC audio. The video quality should be up to 1080p, and the bitrate should be up to 10Mbps. The video's maximum size should not be more than 20 GB. Also, you cannot upload more than five videos at a time and not more than 100 videos in a day.
