As you may have seen during the TwitchCon Las Vegas opening ceremony or in our latest update to the Twitch Alerts help article, we have launched a pilot program with a select group of applications to explore a new feature that allows third-party developers to send real-time event information to Twitch. These events can then be displayed in Twitch’s Alerts as well as the broadcaster’s Activity Feed. We believe third-party events are a unique opportunity to integrate further into the Twitch experience, reduce the burden to support browser sources, and simplify streamer workflows.
What’s new?
Beginning today, we would like to know if you have an application, Extension, or game that could benefit from third-party events as we continue to iterate on the idea. The form below is intended for interested developers to tell us what kind of events they would provide, why those events are important to streamers, and examples of how streamers use their product now.

What’s next?
Our goal is to expand the program to more developers and consider new applications on a case by case basis as providing access is currently a manual process. The interest we receive will also determine how often we review submissions and how it may be possible to provide third-party events in a more scalable way moving forward. More than one entry can be submitted by developers who may have multiple applications to be considered.
