F.A.Q

How do I claim a reward on Twitch?

While watching on Twitch, you can check your progress towards Drops at any time by viewing the Drops Inventory page.

Once you have reached 100% progress for the active Drop within a campaign, you will receive a claim notification at the top of the Twitch navigation.

If you’re unable to claim the Drop in time, you will be able to claim it from the Drops Inventory page until 24 hours after the Drops campaign has ended.

In general, drops on YouTube do not need to be claimed. Once you complete the watch time requirements, you will receive your in-game rewards, through completion of the in-game objective, within 24 hours after claiming the reward on YouTube.
