Learn how to change your Twitch profile username and display name; Find out some essential things to know before moving
You can change your name on Twitch in just a few steps from your computer or mobile phone. The platform streaming from the Amazon allows you to change your username (your “at” on the site) or simply your display name, the one that appears prominently on your profile. Both can be changed on the same screen, which makes everything easier, so learn how to do it now.
How to change your name on Twitch
Before changing it is important to keep some information in mind: you can change your username once every 60 days. It’s important to think carefully before saving the change because if you regret it and want to go back to your previous name, it won’t be available to use for the next six months.
Changing your username also automatically changes the channel URL: if you are a streamer, it is important to pay attention to this because old links to your channel, with the previous username, will no longer lead to your page — Profile monetization , however, is not affected in this case.
On the computer
If you are on the computer, do this:
- Access the Twitch website;
- Click on your profile photo in the top right corner;
- In the drop-down menu, go to “Settings”;
- In the “Profile” section, scroll down to “Profile Settings”;
- Click the pencil next to your username or type a new display name;
- Press “Save changes” to confirm.

At the phone
Anyone using Twitch on their mobile phone – iPhone or Android – must follow these steps:
- Open the Twitch app;
- Tap your profile photo in the top left corner;
- Go to “Account Settings”;
- Log in to “Account” and tap “Edit Profile”;
- In the “Info” section, tap your username or display name;
- Enter the new name and tap “Save” in the top right corner of the screen;
- Enter your password to confirm.

How long does it take for the exchange to appear?
Normally the change is instantaneous, but in some cases it may take a few minutes for the new name to appear. If you’ve changed your username, you can see that your display name has also changed and is available to customize however you like. If you only changed your display name, your username remains unchanged.
