How do you promote a product launch on Twitch?
Drop the launch video into a stream break, not the main feed. Twitch viewers are watching a person, so the clip needs to look like it belongs on that channel: same colors, same logo mark, ten to fifteen seconds so it doesn't outlast the ad break. Open on the product in the streamer's hands or on screen, not a logo card. After the break, one number tells you whether it worked: clip completion rate in the panel, not chat reaction. If it drops off before the offer, the open is too slow for the next version.

From the guide to Twitch
Format, length and how the studio renders it
The player is 16:9 widescreen, so that is the shape to render; the studio produces H.264 MP4 from 5 to 60 seconds. Short loops suit a starting-soon or break screen, while 15 to 30 seconds suits a promo. Keep text clear of the lower area where player controls and stream overlays sit, and leave space if the streamer's own overlay will sit on top.

Headline, offer and call to action
The headline names the product and the change it makes: "Now shipping" works where "Introducing" alone does not. State the offer plainly - the price, the launch bundle, the first-order discount - in words a stranger can repeat. End with one instruction rather than three: "Order at yourstore.com." AI narration can read the headline and the close while captions carry the product details, so the video still works with the sound off.
Launch your new product with a short video ad built from one briefA brief you can paste
Paste this into the studio chat, or change the names and numbers first.
A 15-second Twitch break video for launching our wireless charging pad. Open on the pad lighting up the moment a phone touches it, close-up, no hands. Cut to the product on a desk next to a keyboard. On-screen text: new — ships this week. Streamer's brand colors from twitch.tv/[channel] if it can be pulled in. End card: product name, price, and a Discord link. 1:1 for the panel, 9:16 for clips cut afterward. No narration, just on-screen text and the streamer's own music.
Questions people ask
What size should the video be for a Twitch stream break?
1:1 fits the panel Twitch shows during breaks without cropping. If the plan is to cut clips for TikTok or Reels afterward, render a 9:16 version from the same brief — the quote for the second format is smaller since the plan is already built.
How do I know if the launch video worked on Twitch?
Check clip completion rate in the stream's panel after the break, not chat volume. If viewers drop off before the on-screen offer appears, move the offer earlier in the next version — three seconds in instead of at the end.
