I want to get to know Twitch slowly… But I still don't know what the difference between a host and a raid is… Can someone explain that to me?
A raid is when another streamer storms your stream with its viewers. That means the streamer says to his viewers: "Everyone go to streamer X and write in his chat." This is usually done by large streamers with small streamers
A host is when the streamer ends its stream and then all of its viewers are automatically redirected to another livestream. So the streamer can host another streamer he likes to make his viewers aware of this stream and to support the streamer.
Who you host after your stream can be set at Twitch.
So you're not forced to go to Streamer X on a raid, but you are on a host? Is that right?
Exactly at a host you will be automatically redirected to Streamer X as soon as the streamer you just watched goes offline.
No further difference? Only that?
Exactly, with a host, the stream from Streamer X is shown on your channel. And in a raid, you go to the Streamer X channel with all your viewers
With a raid nothing is shown afterwards… With a host already… Okay I understand that now thanks c
A raid also automatically redirects viewers to the other streamer. So experienced yesterday.
The difference is explained quite simply:
Host
The host is used to show another streamer on your own channel and to advertise for it, so to speak, while you are not streaming. Only the stream is transmitted, but not the chat and other interactions. The viewer is still on your channel, but can switch to the channel shown at any time.
Raid
The raid only makes sense if you have current viewers in the live stream. You can end a stream with a raid and then automatically direct viewers to the displayed streamer. Your stream will then be offline and viewers will be taken to the other streamer's channel page and can write directly in their chat.
Ne bro. I streamed earlier
Here, please! https://help.twitch.tv/...anguage=de
How does it look now?
Yes there's exactly what I wrote xd
With raids, streamers forward their viewers to another live channel towards the end of their stream in order to introduce them to them in an entertaining way.
