Musicians can now link their Twitch profiles to Amazon Music to let fans watch their live streams without leaving the music streaming app. the integration offers musicians a way to potentially reach even more people with their live streams, which — on Twitch, in particular — have become a go-to way to connect with audiences and earn money as the coronavirus pandemic limits their ability to tour.

After inking their account a musician’s Twitch stream will appear on their artist page inside the Amazon Music app while they’re live, and a notification will be sent out to followers when they start streaming. Artists may also be included on a new “Live” page inside the app that highlights artists who are currently broadcasting.TWITCH’S MUSIC SECTION HAS GROWN RAPIDLY SINCE THE.

The integration could help artists reach viewers who wouldn’t normally watch Twitch, which is owned by Amazon. Since it all happens within Amazon Music, fans won’t have to download any other app or sign up for another service. They’ll just be able to tap the notification and start watching a stream inside of a music app they already use. The big limitation seems to be a lack of a way for audiences to interact through the Amazon Music app. Fans will seemingly still have to head over to Twitch to chat or leave tips.
