Twitch has made some serious changes over the last 12 months — and for once, small streamers might finally be getting the upper hand. From ads that no longer kill your flow, to instant monetization, to mobile-first features that can help you stand out, 2025 could quietly be one of the best years for growing your Twitch channel. Here’s everything you need to know — and how to make it work for you.

One of the biggest milestones for any new streamer is achieving Twitch Affiliate status, which unlocks features like Channel Points—a critical tool for engaging viewers. However, many streamers regret starting out with Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) because it lacks the flexibility and customization options needed for advanced Channel Point integrations. While Streamlabs is convenient for beginners, streamers often find themselves switching to OBS Studio shortly after reaching Affiliate. OBS Studio allows for far more complex interactions through plugins and scripts, enabling a more engaging and unique stream experience. To avoid the hassle of switching software later, seasoned streamers recommend starting with OBS Studio right from the beginning, setting the foundation for long-term success.

After trying everything I could think of, I finally found a secret weapon that transformed my streams almost overnight.
