Looking for Twitch panel ideas?
Well, you should be.
When starting out on Twitch, it’s important to make your profile as engaging as possible.
And one way to do this, of course, is by using Twitch panels.
Twitch panels are different blocks of text or images that appear on your profile.
Think of them as “glamorised” links to important pages and information.
Pages like Facebook and Twitter.
Information like your ‘Schedule’ and upcoming ‘Giveaways’.
Cool, I know.
Anyway, here are 14 Twitch panel ideas that will help you stand out from the crowd in 5 minutes or less:
1. Showcase your skills
Since Twitch panels are generally used to link to other pages, it may seem strange to do this, but that’s the whole point!
It will separate you from everyone else who isn’t doing it.
So, create a panel called ‘Skills’ and on the accompanying page list out your skills.
If you’re a great musician, for example, list that as one of your skills.
It’ll show potential viewers what they can expect if they tune in to your stream.
2. Display your schedule
Having a panel on your Twitch profile that displays your streaming hours is extremely helpful for both you and your viewers.
It’ll enable them to know when they can catch you, but it’ll also let you keep track of yourself better too!
This an especially useful Twitch panel idea if you’re running a scheduled event in the near future, which we’ll come onto later.

3. Reveal highlights
This is a must for any Twitch streamer!
Your viewers want to know what they can expect to see when they tune in, so make sure you have a ‘Highlights’ panel.
And then this panel could link to your YouTube channel.
A YouTube channel that could then include funny moments from your best streams.
Just remember to keep it short, entertaining and straight to the point.
4. Link to your social media
Having a Twitch panel with links to your various accounts on social media, like Twitter and Facebook, is another must.
Not only does it look cool, but it shows viewers that you have an online presence outside of Twitch.
This, in turn, will help grow your social media followings on other platforms.
5. Announce upcoming events
A great idea for any Twitch streamer is to have a panel for upcoming events.
This could be anything from a charity marathon you’re running to a giveaway you’re hosting.
By having this panel, you can keep your viewers in the loop and make sure they don’t miss out on any of the action!
6. Promote your team/clan
If you’re a part of a team or clan, then you’ll definitely want to create a panel for this.
It’s the perfect place to promote your team and list out all of your members.
You could even use it as a way to recruit new members!

7. Showcase your sponsors
If you have any sponsors, then you’ll definitely want to create a ‘Sponsor’ panel.
That way, when your viewers click on it, it will take them to a page that lists out your sponsors and their accompanying logos.
This has the added benefit of making you look like a serious streamer and it helps promote your sponsors, so win-win!
8. List your favorite games
If you’re a fan of a particular game, then make sure to list it in your ‘Favorite Games’ panel.
This is a great way to show potential viewers what kinds of games you like to play and could potentially get them interested in tuning in.
9. Introduce yourself
This one is a must for any new Twitch streamer.
Create a panel called ‘About Me’ and on it, list out all of your basic information like your name, age and location.
You could also use it to describe your streaming style and what kind of content you plan on streaming.
10. Link to your donation page
If you’re accepting donations from your viewers, then you’ll want to include a link to your donation page in your Twitch profile.
This is especially important if you’re on the Partner Program, because then you’ll be able to actually profit from donations!

11. Prove you’re real
A lot of trolls and fake accounts use Twitch as a way to threaten and scare possible viewers.
Scare them away with a ‘Verification’ panel that displays your Twitch name, the date your account was created and any other information your viewers might need to determine you’re the real you!
This is kind of outside the box, but hey ho, I wanted to include it anyway.
12. Show your fans some love
A ‘Fan of the Month’ panel is a great way to show your viewers some love.
When someone clicks on it, you can showcase that month’s ‘top fan’ and thank them for supporting you and list out all of the things they’ve done to help you out.
13. Share your favorite quotes
If you have any favorite quotes, then make sure to share them in a ‘Quotes’ panel!
Not only is it a great way to show off your personality, but it also helps give your viewers a better idea of what you’re about.
14. Highlight your achievements
Last but not least, you’ll definitely want to create a panel for highlighting your achievements.
This could be anything from the number of followers you have to the amount of money you’ve raised for charity.
Whatever it is, make sure to flaunt it and show your viewers just how awesome you are!
In conclusion
There you have it!
These are just a few of the Twitch panel ideas you can start adding to your account today to to help you and your channel stand out from the crowd.
So, test them out and see which works best for you.
Oh, and while you’re at it, do some brainstorming of your own and come up with a bunch of other panels that best represent you and your content.
And, as always, have fun gaming!
