How To Verify Your Phone Number On Twitch

Can’t chat on channels that require you to verify your phone on Twitch? If so, you can go ahead and connect your phone number to your account. Follow our quick guide below, and we’ll show you how to do so from the Twitch mobile and web app.

While harassment is unacceptable on Twitch, there are people who go out and create new accounts to spread hate on different channels. Although the platform has tools to help streamers protect themselves from hateful users, it’s best to curb this type of behavior and moderate the people who can message on a channel’s chat.

Thankfully, Twitch allows its streamers to enable the Verified Chat feature to control who can send messages on the chat. Streamers can choose to only allow users with a verified number to participate in the chat.

If you find channels where you can’t send a message, you might need to verify your account with a phone number. Follow our quick guide below to learn how.

How to add your phone number on Twitch

If some channels require you to verify your phone number before participating in the chat, you need to add your number to your account any time you want. After adding a number and verifying your account, you can go ahead and participate in channels where you want to chat.

You can verify your phone number whether you’re using the Twitch app on your phone or computer. Check our tutorials below, and we’ll show you how to do it from both devices.
