About Us
Twitch is the world's biggest live streaming service, with global communities built around gaming, entertainment, music, sports, cooking, and more.
We're about community, inside and out. You'll find coworkers who are eager to team up, collaborate, and smash (or elegantly solve) problems together. We're on a quest to empower live communities, so if this sounds good to you, see what we're up to on LinkedIn and X, and discover the projects we're solving on our Blog.
