What is a Stream Key?

A Stream Key is one of the most important parts of your stream. It allows you and anyone you give it to access to going live on your Twitch.

People with your Stream key will not have access to your settings, so do not worry about them being able to make unnecessary changes.

Regardless, remember to ONLY give your Stream Key to someone you trust. The last thing you want is someone to go live on your channel, do something against TOS and then get you banned.
