What is a Twitch stream? 

A Twitch stream is a live stream where users watch a creator do anything. In short, it’s a live TV show you control, streamed on the internet, for whoever wants to watch you. Of course, just like on TV, there are rules. That means no nudity, bullying, or illegal streaming of content you don’t own.
