How to find Stream Key for Twitch in 2023

Twitch is the most popular streaming platform in the world, if you take out of the equation a region as heresy as China. We'll skip talking about the numbers, but virtually every esports fan or video game enthusiast knows what the platform is all about.

If you're a new streamer experimenting with live streaming for the first time, you might be wondering how to start a broadcast. One of the elements you'll need to start your broadcast is Stream Key. When you start your broadcast, you need to start setting up your software, be it OBS, Streamlabs OBS or even XSPLIT's Gamecaster.

In this piece, we'll cover what Stream Key is and where to find it on Twitch.

What is Stream Key?

Stream Key is defined as the code used to identify the audio/video source in order to show the broadcast on the website. Any Stream Key is unique, so you should not share it with other people. Otherwise they may broadcast content you don't want to promote through your account.

While some programs allow you to start streaming immediately by logging in through your Twitch account, others will require you to copy and paste your Stream Key into their settings.

What if someone gets hold of your Stream Key?

If your Stream Key has fallen into the wrong hands, change the code right away to prevent intruders from compromising your account. If they have already connected a live stream on your channel, change the key itself and then start a new broadcast.

Activate two-factor authentication in your account to make it harder for other users to hack you. If they have access to your account, they may also have passwords to other accounts.
