How to create a Twitch clip
Creating a Twitch clip is as simple as preparing a cup of coffee. Once you learn how to do it, you won’t stop recording your streaming’s best moments.
- Go to the streamer’s channel and select the video from which you want to record a clip.
- There are two ways to create a clip: Hovering over the video player and clicking on the clip icon, or using the keyboard shortcut.
In the case of Windows, you must press Alt + X and in Mac ⌥ + X.
- A new page will open to create your clip.
- Now you can choose the video segment by using the slider below the video and a title that should be striking and related to the clip’s topic. Then, tap Publish.
- Finally, Twitch will provide you with a link to the clip and various options to share (on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit).
- You already have the clip created!
- Now you can see the full clip. You’ll find the title, creator, date, and number of views on the right-hand side.
How to create a clip from your mobile device
Twitch is, without a doubt, an application generally used from the mobile device, and as expected, you can also create a clip from your mobile device, both Android and iOS.
How to create a clip from your mobile?
- Open the channel of the streamer and the video from which you want to create a clip.
- Tap during the steaming and then click on the ‘Create clip’ button located at the top right. It is similar to a clapperboard, like this one 🎬.
- The app will automatically create the clip, although you can edit and trim it. Also, add the title the same way you can do it on the PC.
- Once you have edited the clip to your liking, you can copy the link or share it on your social channels.
If you have already created several clips, where can you find them?
How to find your channel clips
If you’ve been on Twitch for a while, your viewers may have created multiple clips of your broadcasts, and you might not know yet.
You can find, view and manage your clips from your channel page and the creator dashboard.
- From your channel page.
When you visit your channel page, you have the option of viewing the schedule, videos, etc.
If you select ‘Videos,’ you have all the live shows you have recorded so far, and here you can filter by highlights, past broadcasts, or clips.
Once you select a clip, if a user has created it, you have multiple options: watch the full video, report a problem, delete it, delete all the clips, ban a user or temporarily eject it.
As you can see, the platform offers options for you to control everything around your video.
- From the creator dashboard
Another way to manage your clips is from the creator’s control dashboard. You will find this option in the drop-down menu, located in the home page’s upper-right corner.
Once you are in the creator dashboard, open the Content tab in the left side column and click on Clips.
In this section, which is simpler and more complete than the previous one, you can filter by clips created by you or viewers, search by categories and sort them according to the creation date and the number of views.
Now that you know where your channel’s clips are, how can you download them to share on your social networks? Simple, keep reading.
