Twitch has launched a new initiative to help streamers hone their craft. 

The creator camp will provide educational content, insight and guidance from full-time streamers to those looking to turn their hobby in to a full time gig.

There will also be weekly live broadcasts on a number of topics surrounding streaming, as well as regular videos from successful creators on developments in the space.

Get good

From today, creators will also have access to a suite of educational content on Twitch's creator camp channel. Videos will cover the basics of how to start and sustain a channel, building a brand on social media, before moving in to how to manage a community and then eventually monetise content.

The first creator camp stream will feature a live Q&A from a number of Twitch partners and will kick off on July 31st at 2pm PT. 

“Hosting a good stream isn't easy. We’ve heard from many of our creators that they spend a lot of time searching for advice on effective tools, features, and techniques in order to make their broadcasts more engaging and to grow their communities," said Twitch's creator growth marketing manager Jessica Messinger.

"Twitch Creator Camp makes things simpler by centralizing the most relevant information to a creator's success, all of which is provided by Twitch and many of our successful Partners. We want to help our creators succeed and this is just the beginning."
