The new Twitch Desktop App is here

UPDATE: The Twitch Desktop App was deprecated on April 30, 2022

Last spring we unveiled the Twitch Desktop App beta. Today, the summer sun brings with it the full version of the Twitch Desktop App! Our fully armed and operational app gives you access to all the Twitch you know and love, plus a ton of exclusive tools. And of course, how could we forget… Twitch in DARK MODE.

Download the Twitch Desktop App for Windows and Mac at app.twitch.tv

From streams to memes, everything you love about Twitch on web is available within the desktop app. Plus, because it’s an app, it’s all lightning fast. Watch all your favorite VODs, clips, and of course, live streams, complete with Twitch chat in all its glory. While you’re watching, you can even support the streamers you love with Subscriptions and Bits.

The Twitch Desktop App also brings a powerful arsenal of features you won’t find on the web: Dark Mode, voice and video calls, servers, friend sync, and even a ton of great mods for your games. Here’s the breakdown:

Servers

When a stream goes offline, so does its community… sadness. But with Twitch Desktop App’s servers, communities have a place to call home 24/7 with text and voice rooms.

Dark Mode

Dark mode makes everything you do on Twitch much more friendly to your eyes. Perfect for late night streams!

Friends

Speaking of friends, with the Twitch Desktop App’s Friend Sync, we’ll help you find all your friends from across the creator-verse.

Voice and Video Calls

On Twitch web, you can private message your friends with Whispers, but in the desktop app you can also get personal with voice and video calls!

Mods and Addons

The Twitch Desktop App also features CurseForge, the legendary game mod community where thousands of mods and addons are shared for World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Minecraft, and tons more games.
