If you do not like your current Twitch name, and you\u2019d rather be it something different, it\u2019s easy to change both your username and your display name on Twitch. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

What to Know About Twitch Usernames and Display Names<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s make this clear first: your Twitch display name is just the capitalized (or non-capitalized) version of your Twitch username. So for example, if your username is Mahesh, your display name must be Mahesh but with any letter in the name being lowercase or uppercase. The accepted display names include mAhesh, MAHESH, mahESH, and so on.<\/p>\n

When you change your Twitch username, your profile URL<\/a> also changes. The old profile URL won\u2019t redirect to the new one, so you will have to let people know of your new profile and manually update any links. You will also need a verified email address in your Twitch account<\/a> to change your username.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you can only change your username once every 60 days. If you earn revenue from Twitch, your revenues will be delayed on the day you change your username.<\/p>\n

Change Your Twitch Name on Desktop<\/h2>\n

To change your Twitch name on your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, use the Twitch website or the Twitch desktop app. Both have the same interface so you will follow the same set of steps.<\/p>\n

Start by launching Twitch on your computer and signing in to your account.<\/p>\n

In Twitch\u2019s top-right corner, click your profile icon and choose \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the \u201cSettings\u201d page, at the top, click the \u201cProfile\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/p>\n

In the \u201cProfile\u201d tab, scroll down to the \u201cProfile Settings\u201d section. Here, to change your username, click the pencil icon next to \u201cUsername.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the \u201cChange Username\u201d box that opens, click the \u201cUsername\u201d field and type your new username. Then click \u201cUpdate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Type<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to change your display name, click the \u201cDisplay Name\u201d field and type a new name. Note that this can only be the capitalized or non-capitalized version of your username.<\/p>\n

To save your settings, at the bottom of the \u201cProfile Settings\u201d section, click \u201cSave Changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/p>\n

And you are all set.<\/p>\n

Change Your Twitch Username or Display Name on Mobile<\/h2>\n

On your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, use the Twitch app to change your username<\/a> or display name.<\/p>\n

To do so, first, launch the Twitch app on your phone. In the app\u2019s top-left corner, tap your profile icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the \u201cAccount\u201d page, tap \u201cAccount Settings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

On the \u201cSettings\u201d page, tap \u201cAccount.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

Select \u201cEdit Profile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Hit<\/p>\n

Here, to change your username, tap the \u201cUsername\u201d field. To change your display name, tap the \u201cDisplay Name\u201d field instead. We\u2019ll tap the former.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

In the \u201cChange Your Username\u201d prompt that appears, tap \u201cChange Username.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Tap the \u201cUsername\u201d field and enter your new Twitch username. Save your changes by tapping \u201cSave\u201d in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/p>\n

And your Twitch name has now been successfully changed. Enjoy a new persona on this platform!<\/p>\n\n
