▶ How to watch Twitch chat on mobile
Table of contents:
One of the main features of Twitch -in addition to its commitment to streaming- is the possibility that they give each streamer to forge a community, and to enjoy the full experience we will have to knowhow to see the Twitch chat on mobile, something that can be confusing if we have just installed the application on our smartphone. In this article we will try to shed some light on this.
When we are consuming Twitch content from the application there is no problem to locate the chat, since both horizontally and vertically we will always have a section visiblein which the comments of the followers (or subscribers, if the channel in question only allows them to write) will fall, unless we deactivate it of our own free will.
The users who do not have Twitch installed on their mobiles and access a streaming, either through a link on social networks or through the browser, they will also already find the chat at the bottom or on the right side of the screen, depending on whether they have their phones in a vertical or horizontal position. Of course, this chat will look smaller than in the app .
In the case of content creators, when streaming they will also find that the chat is visible on the right side of the screen, having the chat locatable without difficulty. On the left side, with a slightly larger size, you will find the video that we are broadcasting live.
How to view Twitch chat in full screen
Sometimes, the streamer of the channel we are watching is not present, either because he is off camera or because his connection has dropped, and at this time it is interesting to know how to see the Twitch chat in full screen, so we will not miss the conversation that is being generated in your absence (and we will also save data, which is always good when we do not have a good wifi by hand).
To do this, we will have to display a menu that is in the upper part and press the configuration wheel that we will find in the right part of our screen. Next, we will click on the 'Only chat' option and the broadcast will no longer be visible. It should be noted that the space dedicated to chat will increase only slightly, since the name of the stream and the name of the user who is retransmitting will appear at the top of the screen, for example what cannot be considered that we are reading the chat in full screen.
When we are the ones broadcasting live, the chat will share space with the video we are recording from our mobile camera. In the case of profiles with a high number of followers, this can be a problem, since it will be really difficult to read the chat clearly and without missing any message.
In general, Twitch is a platform designed for streaming from a PC desktop or laptop, although many users choose to Record your IRL (in real life) videos with your mobile devices. In order to read the chat correctly, it is best to do it from a computer, since this task is much more arduous on mobile phones or even on tablets.
