Twitch drops
Twitch drops are a mechanism that allows viewers on the Twitch platform to receive free digital content or in-game items simply by watching broadcasts of certain games or channels.
Typically, game developers or streamers themselves host "Twitch drops" events, partnering with Twitch to bring attention to their content or game. To receive these drops, viewers must be subscribed to the corresponding channel that is participating in the event, activate certain promotions on the broadcast page and comply with certain conditions.
To receive Twitch Drops while watching streams on Twitch, you need to follow these steps:
· Login to Twitch: Make sure you are logged into your Twitch account. To receive drops, you must be a registered Twitch user.
· View a Drops-Enabled Stream: Find a stream or channel that is participating in a Twitch Drops event. Typically this information will be included in the broadcast title or channel description.
· Compliance with the conditions for receiving drops: You may need to meet certain conditions to receive drops, such as watch time or participation in certain in-game promotions. These terms are usually described on the event information page or during the broadcast.
· Activating drops: in some cases, after meeting the necessary conditions, you may need to activate drops on the broadcast page by clicking on a special button or performing certain actions. Follow the instructions provided for that specific event.
· Waiting to receive the “drops”: after fulfilling all the requirements and activating the “drops”, all that remains is to wait for the reward to be received. Typically, drops begin to arrive within some time after the conditions are met.
· Checking inventory or notifications: When drops arrive, you can find them in your game inventory if they are items or bonuses for the game. Or in some cases, you will receive a notification on Twitch that the drops have been successfully delivered. These “drops” can include various game bonuses: cosmetic items, in-game currency or other bonuses that can later be used in the game.
To organize Twitch Drops for viewers, you need to follow a few steps:
· Prepare your game or content: Make sure your game or Twitch stream supports Twitch Drops. Please refer to Twitch documentation and game developers for details on the Twitch Drops integration process
· Twitch Platform Registration: Make sure you have a Twitch account and register with the Twitch Developer Portal to gain access to tools and resources for creating Twitch Drops.
· Creating a Twitch Drops campaign: In the Developer Portal, create a new Twitch Drops campaign. Decide what items or bonuses you want to provide to viewers.
· Integration with your content: Follow the instructions to integrate Twitch Drops into your content (game, stream, etc.). This may include using the Twitch API to establish a connection between your content and the Twitch Drops system.
· Setting the conditions for receiving “drops”: set the conditions under which viewers will be able to receive Twitch Drops. This could be time spent watching a stream, participating in certain activities, or reaching a certain level in a game.
· Community Communication: Spread the word about upcoming Twitch Drops among your community. This could include announcements on social media, blogs, your Twitch channel, etc.
· Prepare and Launch: Prepare a system to monitor and track the release of Twitch Drops. Make sure everything is ready to go and activate your campaign.
· Monitoring and Feedback: Track your community's progress and response to Twitch Drops. Take the feedback and use it to improve future events.
