Lunar Charm Pastel Dark Purple Stream Panels

Twitch stream panels are customizable sections displayed below your Twitch stream. They provide additional information about you, your channel, and other important details, such as social links, donation options, and schedules. Panels help you communicate with your audience even when you’re not live.

Stream panels enhance your branding and provide valuable information to viewers. They help:

• Create a professional and polished look for your channel.
• Communicate essential details, such as your streaming schedule and social media links.
• Promote community engagement through links to Discord, merch, or donation pages.
• Showcase your Vtuber persona’s unique style and personality.

Here are common panels to include:

• About Me: A brief introduction to your channel and content.
• Schedule: Your weekly stream schedule.
• Social Media: Links to your Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok.
• Rules: Guidelines for chat behavior.
• Donations: Links to platforms like PayPal, Patreon, or Ko-fi.
• FAQ: Answer frequent questions about your setup, games, or Vtuber lore.
• Sponsors or Affiliates: Highlight your partnerships and affiliate codes.

To make your panels stand out:

• Use cohesive branding: Match panel designs with your overlays and Vtuber persona.
• Choose clear fonts: Ensure text is easy to read.
• Add icons or graphics: Small, themed icons can enhance the look of your panels.
• Keep them consistent: Use similar colors, sizes, and styles across all panels to maintain a professional aesthetic.

Several tools are available to help you design panels, including:

• Canva: Beginner-friendly and offers templates for Twitch panels.
• Photoshop or Illustrator: For more advanced, custom designs.
• StreamElements or Streamlabs: Platforms that include pre-made panel designs.
• Fiverr or Etsy: Hire artists or purchase pre-designed panels.

The ideal Twitch panel size is 320 pixels wide. Twitch scales panels to this width, so keep your designs clear and readable at this size. For height, keep the dimensions flexible but avoid making panels too tall to maintain a clean layout.
