How to Change the Link in Your Twitch Bio

Last verified 2026-07-06.

Changing the link in your Twitch bio takes about 20 seconds once you know the path. This guide covers the exact navigation, the "changes not showing" cache issue, and how to point Twitch at a link-in-bio page so you never have to edit your profile again just to swap one destination.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1. Open the Twitch app on your phone (the profile editor works on desktop too for platforms that have one).
  2. Step 2. Navigate to Creator Dashboard → Settings → Channel → Panels.
  3. Step 3. Clear the existing URL in the About panels field.
  4. Step 4. Paste the new URL. Double-check it starts with https:// — Twitch silently drops malformed URLs on some builds.
  5. Step 5. Tap Save. The change is live within a few seconds.

"I saved it but the old link still shows"

Twitch caches profile pages aggressively. If you're checking from another account or a browser tab, force a refresh (pull-to-refresh on mobile, hard reload on desktop) or wait 60 seconds. The change is live on the server the moment you tap Save — the delay is client-side caching.

Change your link once, never again

Instead of editing your Twitch bio every time you release something new, point Twitch at a link-in-bio page (Linklay, Linktree, Beacons). Update the destination inside the link-in-bio tool; your Twitch bio never has to change.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often can I change my Twitch bio link?

As often as you want. Twitch does not rate-limit profile edits.

Does changing the link break existing traffic?

Old cached versions of your profile may show the previous link for up to a minute. New taps route to the new destination immediately.

Can I schedule a link change?

Twitch doesn't ship native scheduling for profile edits. A link-in-bio tool with scheduled links is the standard workaround — swap the destination on a timer without touching Twitch.
