Today we are gonna add some sneaky code to our website to help increase our Twitch power. Grab the following code and paste it in to your website changing the channel name to your channel. Make sure to use the code function if you are in a blog or run a website that requires it to be specified.
—–
<div id=”twitch-embed”></div>
<script src=”https://embed.twitch.tv/embed/v1.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
new Twitch.Embed(“twitch-embed”, {
width: 854,
height: 480,
channel: “kotekan”,
});
</script>

The code will make your channel embed like shown here below – provided you place it in an area or way that accepts code. (So like on wordpress blogs using the code section.)
This code embeds a Twitch live stream on a web page by first creating a <div> with the ID twitch-embed, then loading Twitch’s embed script (embed/v1.js), and finally initializing a new Twitch.Embed object that targets the div and sets the player’s width, height, and the channel to display (in this case, “kotekan” my main man Francis). The height and width parameters should not be messed with and you should ideally ensure that your channel is not hidden anywhere, as this is going to get you in trouble. This follows the guidelines for Twitch Embeds as set out on Twitch.
Using techniques like this is a great way to generate power on Twitch, as it can be hard to really stand out and be a powerhouse in your own right. I have my issues with Twitch as a platform. But if it’s your jam, baby, then I’m there to provide the bread and butter that’ll help you ascend from obscurity.
There are many little tips and tricks you can use to succeed, but ultimately, I prefer things that are white hat. Don’t go embedding it all over the internet.
As for if you’re interested on getting more people to your website, I recommend blogging. I have a course on blogging which will help you rank. Click here to access my blogging course (It’s free!) Blogs and SEO (search engine optimization) work get me jobs in a very competitive battle zone as a marketer, so hopefully my advice will help you!
