![]() ![]() According to its update blog, Twitch implemented these new tags to "help every community, but especially those that are underrepresented, grow and thrive." While the tags may have helped niche content creators - including Virtual YouTubers such as Nyanners – rise to popularity on the site, some argue that the tags are failing to accomplish their original goal of helping the underrepresented grow. Last year the site added 350 new tags for streamers to use. However, Twitch recently expanded the feature. Tags help categorize content and give users a quick overview of a stream before tuning in. ![]() I hope they allow VOD tagging to be enabled in the future.Twitch's tags aren't much different from other social media hashtags. VODS take the tags that were made during the stream session. Currently you can not go into your VODS and switch tags. Some other tags in the above list may also be not accessible, I do not have the time to check all of them.Īnother issue to be noted on is that you can only set the tags before your stream or during your stream. Twitch appears to have a special tag called "Celeb" which only a couple channels appear to be enabled for which include the following: xqcow, drdisrespect, nickmercs, timthetatman, lirik. Here is a list of the current specific tags used in Twitch's sitemap index that you should be using. ![]() This is sadly going to only benefit the top viewed vod and the most live concurrent channels but you maybe lucky with a smaller channel to still be index'ed in time to time because many top end streamers are to lazy to add in tags. Make sure to use all 5 tag slots for your stream because Twitch is using certain tags for their sitemap indexing pages that search engines crawl and then index into their directories. The IRL section has changed, "IRL" is now a genre with tags that are searchable. The creative section has changed, "Creative" is now a genre with tags that are searchable. If you are looking to search for specific languages, you can either type it in the filter or switch the 'Showing' section to 'Live Channels' and find it in the drop down list. The POPULAR listing is now called Live Channels, this still includes 'ReRun' streams. You can not set your tags to any of these genres, they are only listed for games and special categories. The gaming directory now has unique tags dedicated to genres. For instance, if you watch channels that are tagged as 'PvE', the recommendation sections will show more of those types of channels. The tagging system will also be used in personalized recommendation section(s) to show more similar streams based on past history and tag listings. Once you have added in all the tags for your channel, press update information button.Īll the various tags will be available as filter options in the directory pages. Your language setting is also included in the tagging system. Search for the tag that best fits your channel, you can have up to 5 different tags. To add tags to your channel go to the dashboard and check in the "Stream Information" for the tags section. Tags can be used to categorize channels with additional details. ![]() The new tagging system is now live as of Septemon. ![]()
