What's my child actually doing on Twitch?

How is Twitch used by children and young people? What opportunities can the platform offer? What dangers should parents be aware of? And what is an emote?

The streaming platform Twitch exerts a great fascination on children and young people. The platform is mainly used by gamers who play live and comment on it. Craft videos, live music and other hobbies have also found their place on the platform.

The booklet provides information for parents, gives tips, and explains how children and young people can be safely guided in dealing with live content.
