🎮 Stream Settings and Announcements in One Place
“Changing the title, category, and tags for every game takes too long…”
“Copying the title and stream URL into every announcement is repetitive…”
Twitch Stream Helper is a Chrome extension that combines Twitch stream settings and X announcement preparation. It reduces the time spent moving through the Creator Dashboard before every stream.

- Save tag combinations for each category and apply them with the title.

- Insert the category, channel name, tags, date, and other values as variables.
- Check the expanded title and its 140-character limit before sending it to Twitch.
- Clear update status
- The popup always shows the title currently stored on Twitch.
- Pending, applying, applied, and failed states make the result unambiguous.
- X announcement composer
