Stream Info is your control panel for channel metadata. Use it to keep title, category, language, tags, and delay aligned with what your stream is actually doing so viewers and discovery systems get accurate context.
Update the fields you need, then save to publish changes. Small metadata improvements can make a big difference for discoverability and for viewer trust when they click into your stream.
Use clear, specific titles that match current content. Avoid stale titles from prior sessions because they can create confusion and increase early viewer drop-off. Note that you should decide on your Stream Title and save it before you start streaming. Changes made after that do not seem to update on Twitch correctly.
Set the category to your current activity. Accurate category placement helps the right audience find you and keeps recommendations relevant.
Confirm language is correct for your spoken stream language. This improves search and helps viewers decide quickly if your stream is a fit. Most streamers will of course set this once and probably forget about it. If you are streamer who broadcasts in different languages on stream be sure to update this to reflect your current language use
Choose tags that describe format, tone, and goals. Keep tags intentional and avoid over-tagging with unrelated labels.
Use delay only when needed for moderation or competitive protection. If you add delay, account for slower chat-to-action timing in your on-stream flow. Delay with this setting is only supported for Partnered accounts on Twitch. If you need to introduce a stream delay and you are using OBS Studio, you can adjust the setting there without needing this feature.
At stream start, set title and category first, then language and tags, and finally verify any delay settings. Re-check after major segment changes so metadata stays accurate all stream long.
Do a quick pass for typos, outdated game names, and mismatched tags. A 10-second review prevents avoidable confusion and keeps your presentation consistent.
