Customizing Twitch Audio Alerts: A Guide to Their Creation and Integration into Your Live Stream
Streaming is seriously taking off, thanks largely to Twitch, the platform that's transformed the way we consume media. As Twitch grows and evolves, so does the arsenal of tools it provides streamers with to make their streams their own.
One such tool is alert sounds, which let streamers signal all sorts of actions happening on the stream. From someone new subscribing to a donation, alert sounds help elevate the streaming experience.
The good news? You can personalize your alert sounds to fit your unique style. Whether you upload your own audio or grab a sound from a vast library of options, customizing your Twitch alerts has never been easier.
So, let's dive into how to use Kapwing to create and download the perfect sounds for your custom Twitch alerts. Here's the lowdown:
- Add the Alert Sound Extension to your Twitch Account

- Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, and select Creator Dashboard.
- On the next screen, click on Extensions on the left side of the window, then search for Sound Alerts, and install it when you find it.

- Kapwing offers an array of alert sounds to choose from, but for a truly unique alert, you'll want to create it yourself.
- Upload an audio file from your computer or paste a link to a YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok video containing the sound you prefer. Alternatively, use the Record tool to record your own voice or instrument.
