Hypetrain on Twitch: step-by-step guide

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a hypetrain on Twitch:

• Check if hypetrains are enabled on your Twitch channel. To do this, go to the Twitch website, log in to your account and navigate to your channel’s settings. There, check the options for Hypetrains.

• Hypetrains are triggered by the interaction of your viewers. To start a hypetrain, you need a certain number of viewers to complete subscriptions, Twitch bits (Twitch currency) or other supporting actions within a certain time period.

• You can set what targets your viewers must reach to trigger a hypetrain. This could be a certain number of subscriptions, bits or other actions, for example. Choose meaningful and achievable targets to motivate your viewers.

• Set up notifications: Twitch offers various notifications for hypetrains. You can set pop-up messages, sound effects or visuals to inform your viewers about the hypetrain and encourage them to participate. Customise these notifications to suit your preferences and channel.

• Start Hypetrain: When your viewers reach the targets, the hypetrain is automatically triggered. The hypetrain runs for an indefinite duration and allows your viewers to celebrate you by supporting you. During the Hypetrain, your viewers can use emotes, bits or other actions to further cheer on the Hypetrain.

• Offer rewards: To encourage your audience to participate in the Hypetrain, you can offer special rewards. For example, this could be unlocking Twitch emotes, custom thank you messages, or other content that is exclusive to Hypetrain participants.

What exactly is a Hypetrain on Twitch

A Hypetrain on Twitch is a big party where the community celebrates their favourite streamer. To start a Hypetrain, various support events from viewers such as subscriptions or use of bits must reach a predetermined peak within a certain time period.

• Once the hypetrain has started, viewers can participate by subscribing, using bits and other support events.

• There are different levels in Hypetrain that can be achieved, and participants will receive emote rewards according to their support.

• Streamers can enable or disable the hypetrain in their settings and adjust various settings such as the threshold to start, the difficulty of the stages and the cooldown time between hypetrains.

• If a hypetrain is currently active in a livestream, a corresponding notification with all details appears above the chat. This includes the remaining time, the level of the hype-o-meter and the current stage of the hypetrain.

• During the hypetrain, the remaining time, the level of the hype-o-meter and the current level of the hypetrain are displayed.
