Twitch is a very popular video-streaming service, with around millions of broadcasters and 100s of million of viewers each month.

Twitch is known for live streams of video games, but it has branched out into other topics too. Look around Twitch and you’ll also find music videos and people live-streaming their lives.

With the EmbedPress plugin, you can add Twitch.tv both streams and chats to WordPress, using just an URL.

Thanks for the tip 🙂 I have been using Twitch TV Easy Embed (Wall) PRO version for a group of many streamers. Have you tried out other tools that would let you choose streamers by name, genre or team by any chance?

It doesn’t seem like you can embed the chats from twitch with this plugin.
Steve, you need to really test this kind of things before assuming functionalities.

Embedding twitch videos doesnt work, it embeds the stream instead.
