Twitch is a video game streaming service that allows gamers to compete in competitions and interact with each other live.
Millions use the service daily to chat, interact and create entertainment with each other.
Twitch was acquired by Amazon in 2014 for $970 million, according to the Associated press.
Since the acquisition, Amazon members have been able to utilize gaming perks at no additional cost.
Prime Gaming recently announced that members can now subscribe to a Twitch affiliate channel of their choice for free.
The benefit is available in countries that support Twitch.
Subscribing to the channel allows Prime members to access ad-free chat, emoticons, and viewing privileges.
Members can also use the free membership to support their favorite Twitch streamers.
CLAIMING THE FREE BENEFIT
To subscribe to a Twitch channel for free, Amazon Prime members must first create a Twitch account if they don’t already have one.
Twitch charges users to subscribe to streamers, but it’s free to create an account and watch live streams.
Users will have to link their Twitch and Amazon accounts.
Next, users must decide which Twitch channel they want to subscribe to for free.
There will be a purple subscribe button at the top of your chosen channel.
After users click the drop-down arrow, a pop-up window should appear describing the benefits of the subscription.
What to know about Prime Gaming
Prime Gaming is available to Amazon members and includes exclusive perks for gaming enthusiasts.
Below are the benefits that members can receive with Prime Gaming,
- Access to game content
- Twitch channel subscriptions
- Exclusive emoticons
- Ability to set chat colors
- Prime Chat Badges that allow Twitch users to talk on any channel
- Ability to save past streams on Twitch for up to 60 days
Channel subscriptions typically cost $6 per month, but players can use a quick trick to cancel the charge.
A box should appear saying “Use Prime Sub” in the pop-up window.
After checking the box, users can click the Subscribe with Prime button and Amazon will replace the charge.
There’s just one problem with the free subscription: it’s not automatically generated every month.
Subscribers must remember to check the boxes at the beginning of each month so that Twitch does not charge their bills.
If members decide to subscribe to another channel, they can change their free subscription at the beginning of each month.
