Does raiding on Twitch end your stream?

Answered by Jason Smith

When it comes to raiding on Twitch, it’s important to understand that it doesn’t automatically end your stream. Raiding is actually a feature on Twitch where you can send your viewers to another channel once your stream is over. It’s a way to show support for other streamers and introduce your community to new content.

So, let me break it down for you. When you decide to raid someone, you’re essentially redirecting your viewers to another stream. This can be done by using the “/raid” command followed by the name of the channel you want to raid. For example, “/raid TwitchStreamer123” would initiate the raid on TwitchStreamer123’s channel.

Once the raid is initiated, your viewers will be redirected to the channel you raided. They will see a message saying that you’re raiding the channel, and they have the option to join or leave the raid. This allows your viewers to continue watching and engaging with content even after your stream has officially ended.

However, it’s important to note that raiding doesn’t end your stream automatically. You will still need to manually end your stream after initiating the raid. This is typically done by clicking the “End Stream” button on your streaming software or platform.

Ending your stream after raiding is important because it ensures that you properly wrap up your own broadcast. It gives you a chance to thank your viewers for joining the raid and show your appreciation for their support. It also allows you to properly sign off and provide any final updates or announcements before officially ending your stream.

So, to summarize, raiding on Twitch does not end your stream. It’s a feature that allows you to redirect your viewers to another channel once your stream is over. However, you still need to manually end your stream after raiding to properly wrap up your broadcast.
