What Is Twitch Prime?

How to Subscribe to a Twitch Streamer

When you choose to subscribe to a Twitch streamer via your Prime membership, you’re giving $4.99 to that person.

To subscribe to a streamer, navigate to their profile, and then click “Subscribe” at the top of the page.

If this is the first time you’ve subscribed to a streamer from your Twitch Prime account, you’ll be asked if you want to use your monthly free subscription for this streamer. Click “Yes” to subscribe to that streamer for one month at no additional charge.

After you subscribe to a streamer via your Prime membership, though, you have to wait a month before you can use your free subscription again. If you want to set up a recurring subscription, click “Subscribe” again, and then select the “Continue Sub” option.

If you choose to convert your Prime subscription to a recurring subscription, you’ll be charged the monthly fee of $4.99. You have to manually subscribe to a streamer every 30 days to use your Twitch Prime subscription again.

How to View Your Current Subscriptions

You can view your subscriptions anytime on Twitch. To do so, click your profile picture in the top-right corner, and then click “Subscriptions.”

The “Subscriptions” page shows all your current (and expired) subscriptions, along with the subscription benefits, expiration dates, and whether each is paid or Prime.

How to Resubscribe to a Streamer via Twitch Prime

After you subscribe to a streamer via your linked Prime account, you have to wait one month before you can resubscribe.

To check your subscriptions, click your avatar in the top-right corner on Twitch, and then click “Subscriptions.” A list of your current, gifted, and expired subscriptions appears.

All of your current subscriptions will be under the “Your Subscriptions” tab. In the image below, you see a Prime membership was used to subscribe to a streamer.

You can either pay to resubscribe now or use your Twitch Prime membership to pay for another subscription to the streamer after it expires.

Subscribing is a great way to financially support your favorite Twitch streamers. And, if you subscribe via your Twitch Prime membership, you can do so without spending a dime!
