Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Twitch is now available on Nintendo Switch as a free app and features all the functions you would expect from a Twitch app. It displays stream and category recommendations on the home screen, and users can browse the game title list or search for specific channels. In addition to games, categories such as IRL and Music are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sign in to your Twitch account, your followed channels will show up at the top of the home screen if they are currently streaming. To sign in, you will need to activate your account via your mobile device or PC. You also need a mobile device to use the chat feature. Currently, the Nintendo Switch version of the app does not seem to support a layout that allows you to watch a stream and chat at the same time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[UPDATE 2021\/11\/12 14:26 JST]<br>We forgot to mention, but you can&#8217;t stream via the Nintendo Switch version of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Put a little purple in your Nintendo Switch.<br><br>Download the Twitch App from the Nintendo eShop today.<br><br>More info: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cFN1QW45FE\">https:\/\/t.co\/cFN1QW45FE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AQTMotxAaf\">pic.twitter.com\/AQTMotxAaf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Twitch (@Twitch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Twitch\/status\/1458851260032036866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo Switch does support other online video platforms such as YouTube and niconico, although the live broadcast feature for the latter app is no longer available.
