With Twitch Extensions, broadcasters can further connect with their viewers and provide new ways to engage, via stream overlay or as a panel on their channel. 

TwitchDev Jam: 2019 aims to encourage developers to create awesome “game-matched Twitch Extensions” that bring more game content, better functionality, and tailored interactivity to some of our games, like Fortnite, World of Warcraft, and Grand Theft Auto V! What’s a game-matched Extension? Glad you asked! Game matched extensions are powered by game data to deliver rich, meaningful real-time experiences that prioritize viewer interaction and participation.

In addition to five finalists for the Grand Prize, we’ll have a Broadcaster’s Choice and a Viewer’s Choice winner!

Come power the future of interactive engagement on Twitch!
