How the calculation works
Tags help platforms categorize your stream and surface it to the right audience. The best tags are specific to your content — not just generic terms like "gaming."
Twitch uses freeform tags (up to 10, max 25 characters each). They appear in the browse view and help Twitch recommend your stream to viewers browsing similar content.
YouTube uses keyword tags (comma-separated). They matter less for search discovery than your title and description, but they help YouTube understand the topic of your video and show it in related videos.
Frequently asked questions
Do Twitch tags actually help with discoverability?
Tags are one of several signals Twitch uses to recommend streams. They matter more in niche categories than large ones — in a large game like Fortnite, tags won't move the needle much. In a smaller category, the right tags can meaningfully increase your recommendations.
Can Twitch tags be any words I want?
Yes — Twitch tags are freeform as of 2023. You're limited to 10 tags, each max 25 characters. Tags that violate Twitch's community guidelines (hate speech, offensive content) can result in enforcement action.
Are YouTube tags still important in 2026?
YouTube has said tags are less important than titles and thumbnails for search. However, they still help with related videos placement and are worth a few minutes of effort. The tag field is most useful for alternate spellings and abbreviations viewers might search.
Should I use the same tags every stream?
Keep your core tags consistent (language, category, personality) but update game-specific tags when you switch games. Consistent tags help Twitch build a profile of your channel over time.
How many Twitch tags can I use?
Twitch allows up to 10 tags per stream, each up to 25 characters. Since tags became freeform in 2023, you can use any text — no longer limited to Twitch's preset list. Use all 10 slots; there's no downside to using the maximum.
Where do Twitch tags appear to viewers?
Tags appear below your stream title in the directory browse page and on your channel page. Viewers can click a tag to see other streams using the same tag, or search for tags in the Twitch search bar — which is why specific niche tags can meaningfully drive discovery in small categories.
Can I create tags in other languages?
Yes — since tags are freeform, you can add tags in any language. If you stream in Spanish, adding tags like 'Español', 'Castellano', or 'Habla Española' helps non-English speakers discover your channel in the directory.
Do YouTube tags help with ranking?
YouTube has stated that tags have minimal impact on search ranking compared to titles and thumbnails. Their primary value is helping YouTube categorize your content for related video recommendations, and they're useful for common misspellings of your topic or channel name.
