Everyone knows about Amazon Prime, the Amazon membership that gives you free shipping and streaming access.

However, not as many people know that an Amazon Prime subscription also entitles you to a free Twitch Prime account.

Twitch Prime gives Twitch viewers a premium experience on the streaming platform, including free games and downloadable content, one complimentary channel subscription each month, special emotes, and a unique chat badge.

To activate Twitch Prime, you'll need to link your Amazon Prime account. Luckily, this is easy to do in any internet browser on your Mac or PC.
