Twitch panels are used to showcase your personal information as well as your channel’s singularities, like the stream setup you are using or your Discord server.
Twitch panels are located in your about me section to give your viewers helpful information about yourself. They have two main functions: give your visitors a sense of your brand and link them to useful information.
Your channel panels are a great way to reach your profile goals; in other ways, they work as a sales page. You can entice your visitors to follow you on other places like social media, to subscribe, to donate, and to come back for your next stream!
With that said, we are about to tell you how you can create your own Twitch panel designs easily and right here in your browser!

Essential Twitch Panels to Design
About Me
Also called your header panel, is a great opportunity to write basic information about yourself and your channel. Add something to differentiate you from other gamers. Give them something to connect with you in a personal way.
Donate
When designing a donation button on Twitch, don’t try to make it more flashy than your other panels. You don’t want to look greedy.
💡 Don’t forget that you can also use a donation panel to raise funds for causes. For example, you can use Placeit’s Pride designs to create a donation panel for Pride where users can donate to an org rather than to you.
Subscribe
Make a clear and noticeable panel to lead your channel visitors to subscribe.
Discord Server
Make a panel to link directly to your discord server. A note on Twitch community discord servers: Discord allows you to engage with other gamers on Twitch. Use your channel’s brand to name your Twitch server and make it easier for future visitors to find you.
Others
You can add your schedule, meaning your gaming live hours for your followers to join whenever you’re online. You can add your channel’s rules so whenever an issue comes up, you can refer them back to your rules. Add other elements of your brand, like your social media and details about yourself, to motivate your visitors to support you.
Pro Tip: Avoid saturating your Twitch panels with unnecesary information. Try to avoid tireing your viewers with tons of panels. Panels should stick to only strictly necessary information.
