Many popular games also feature " Twitch integration," which means you can enter your Twitch stream key to connect the game to your account. This often unlocks new features and game modes, which usually let the Twitch chat interact with the game in some way.

Once you're in a game and your Twitch account is in place, streaming is a simple matter of hitting the Share button, selecting 'Broadcast Gameplay' and then choosing Twitch as your streaming option. From there, you can give your broadcast a title and advertise your link on social media.

The Twitch app on Xbox One also allows you to watch other people's broadcasts on your television, and you can find content either by searching games or specific channels. The Xbox One lacks the options to notify your friends and fans of your broadcast over Facebook and Twitter. Fortunately, though, Twitch has the option built-in, which we'll get to later.
The Xbox One also encourages fans to join in. Viewers of your stream can send a party request through the Xbox One to join your raid, multiplayer match or what have you.
