How to Create or Delete Clips on Twitch
Do you want to save a small part of a Twitch stream? You can use clips to do just that. This guide will explain how to make or delete Twitch clips.
If you want to record something funny or important that a Twitch streamer does, you can use Twitch clips. Twitch clips are short video snippets of a Twitch stream that can last up to 60 seconds long.
As a user, if you want to create or delete clips on Twitch, you can do that on any stream that allows it. Some restrictions may apply, depending on whether you’re a follower or subscriber.
If you want to know how to create or delete clips on Twitch, follow the steps below.
How to Create or Delete Clips on Twitch on PC or Mac
You can easily make or remove clips on a Twitch stream using a PC or Mac.
Making Twitch Clips
To create a Twitch clip on PC or Mac:
- Open the Twitch website and sign in.
- Visit a Twitch streamer who is currently streaming live.
- With the stream active, hover over the Twitch video and press the Clip button in the bottom right.
- In the Clip window, select the portion of the stream you want to clip using the bar below.
- Give the clip a name in the title box at the bottom.
- Press Publish.
Twitch will create your clip and redirect you automatically to view it. At the bottom, you can copy the link to the clip, or share it by pressing one of the social media options.
Deleting Twitch Clips
You can quickly delete a Twitch clip that you don’t like from your Twitch account menu.
To delete a Twitch clip on a PC or Mac:
- Open the Twitch website and sign in (if you aren’t already).
- In the top-right, press your account icon.
- From the menu, select Creator Dashboard.
- Select Content > Clips from the menu on the left.
- To delete your clip, select it from the list and press the Delete Selected button.
- Twitch will ask you to confirm you want to delete it, so press the Delete button to do this.
Twitch will delete the clip and remove it from viewing immediately. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to restore the clip after this point.
How to Create or Delete Clips on Twitch on Mobile Devices
You can also use the Twitch mobile app on Android, iPhone, and iPad devices to create and delete Twitch clips.
Making Twitch Clips
To create a Twitch clip on mobile:
- Open the Twitch app and sign in.
- Visit a live Twitch streamer and tap the active video.
- With the video options active, tap the Clip button.
- In the Create Clip menu at the bottom, Twitch will automatically generate a suitable clip to share.
- If you want to change the clip duration or position, tap Edit to make changes to it, then tap Publish to save the video.
- Tap Share Clip or Copy Link to share the clip to social media or to copy the link to the clip to use elsewhere.
Deleting Twitch Clips
Unfortunately, it isn’t easy to delete Twitch clips you create using the mobile app. That’s because the Twitch app doesn’t include the Creator Dashboard, which is the area of Twitch that allows you to manage Twitch clips. Without the dashboard, you aren’t able to view or delete clips from the app itself.
There is a workaround, however. You can access the Twitch Creator Dashboard from your mobile device’s web browser. While it won’t be as easy to navigate, you should be able to visit the Clips section and remove a video you’ve created.
If you’re having trouble, however, we’d recommend signing in to the Twitch website on your PC, Mac, or Chromebook. This will allow you to use the Creator Dashboard page properly to remove your clips.
Having Fun on Twitch
Using the steps above, you can quickly create or delete Twitch clips on any platform. If you want to have more fun on Twitch, you’ll need to get to grips with how the platform works.
For instance, if you want to block Twitch ads, your best bet is to use a Twitch Turbo or stream subscription. You should also follow or unfollow streamers you like on Twitch to make sure you catch (or avoid) those streams.
Want to start streaming on Twitch yourself? You can stream on Twitch using OBS for free.
