How to set a Twitch offline banner

When you're not live, the video player on your channel shows your offline banner. Most people find your channel while you're offline, so it's one of the most-seen images you have.

Short answer

Go to your Creator Dashboard, open Settings › Channel › Brand, find Video Player Banner and click Update. Upload a 1920×1080 JPG or PNG under 10 MB.

Don't confuse it with the profile banner, the wide image at the top of your channel page. That one is a different size and lives in the same Brand settings.

Step by step

  1. Open the Creator Dashboard

    Click your avatar at the top right of Twitch and choose Creator Dashboard.

  2. Go to Brand settings

    In the left menu, open Settings › Channel and pick the Brand section.

  3. Upload the banner

    Under Video Player Banner, click Update and upload your 1920×1080 image.

  4. Check your channel

    Open your channel in a private window while offline to see the banner the way visitors do.

What to put on it

Keep it simple: your name, your stream schedule (or where to find it) and one or two socials. Visitors see it at small sizes on phones, so big, short text beats a paragraph.
