how to delete clips on twitch

Creating Twitch Clips of interesting moments during streams is a great way to build and preserve the history of your channel.

However, sometimes we clip by accident, or we might no longer want a certain clip to be available for viewing on our channel. In both cases, there is a simple solution: deleting the Twitch clip.

If you're unsure how to delete Twitch Clips and want to learn how in a few easy steps, this guide has all the information you need.

Manually Selecting & Deleting Clips From Your Account

You can manage and delete Twitch Clips from your channel in the Creator's Dashboard panel on the website.

Here's how to access it.

Open Twitch on your browser and sign in to your account.
In the top-right corner of your screen, click your avatar and select Creator Dashboard.
You will see a menu on the left side of the screen. Select Content and then Clips.
In this section, you can sort by clips of your channel and clips that you have personally created.
If you want to delete any of your clips, tick the empty box next to them to add them to your selection, then click Delete Selected when you're ready. See the image below for more information.

If for any reason you want to delete all clips you've created, you can do so by clicking the "Delete All Clips I've Created" option.

If you're using a smartphone or tablet to access Twitch, the process is identical on other devices.

Changing Who Can Create Clips From Your Channel

Broadcasters can set rules on their channel regarding who can create clips of their streams.

Most channels usually have this set to "anyone". However, if you notice viewers abusing the feature, you can change it by selecting something else in Twitch's list of options.

Here's how to do that.

Open Twitch on your browser and sign in to your account.
In the top-right corner of your screen, click your avatar and select Creator Dashboard.
Click Settings and then Stream in the menu on the left side of your screen.
In "Clips Settings", find the "Followers-only" section and choose your preferred option from the list provided. If you're irritated by viewers clipping random, unimportant things on your channel, you can require them to have followed you for three months.

There are other options you can experiment with, such as activating subscriber-only mode for clips. This will allow you to prevent anyone who isn't a subscriber from creating clips of your channel.

You can tweak these settings based on your personal preference and experiences on Twitch.

Conclusion

Some clips of your channel might lead to you falling foul of Twitch's copyright policy, which is one of the main reasons for streamers deleting older clips.

You now know how to delete any clips you don't need or that might impact the development of your channel. Use this feature wisely and don't overdo it, as some clips are irreplaceable.
