Through Guest Star, streamers will be able to invite anyone with a Twitch account into a stream from desktop or the Twitch mobile app. Creators can host and manage their guests directly within Twitch Studio or OBS.
Launched a while ago but never on Product Hunt! 🚀🚀
The Guest Star tool allows streamers to create up to 5 “guest slots" to allow other Twitch users on stream, including other creators or viewers. It's currently in Beta but available to all Twitch creators.
It can be used for a number of types of show:
➡️ 1:1 Interviews
➡️ Panel Discussions
➡️ Advice or Q&A
➡️ “call-in show”
➡️Video Speed Dating
➡️Backseat Gaming on Stream
➡️Phone a Friend
➡️Host a talent show
➡️Introduce chat to your IRL crew
➡️Livestream a Podcast
➡️Host a dance party, or a study party, or a dinner party
➡️Sidecast and co-watch other content
Excited to see as the "Just Chatting" space is still growing on the platform!
This is amazing news! Congratulations on the launch! 🎉
I have firsthand experience of how much hard work and perseverance it takes to execute a successful launch. Therefore, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations on this impressive feat. Your zeal and devotion are truly remarkable.

Who hunted Twitch Guest Star?
Twitch Guest Star was hunted by Maxwell Davis. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
