Twitch requires phone verification for a growing list of things: unlocking chat on some channels, subscribing, using extensions, or recovering a flagged account. Streamers and viewers testing a second account, or anyone who'd rather not tie their real number to a gaming account, run into this the same way.
Steps
- Rent a number for Twitch — an instant rental is enough for the standard verification.
- In Twitch's Security and Privacy settings (or wherever the specific feature prompts for it), enter the rented number with its country code.
- Twitch sends a verification code by SMS within seconds on a working number.
- Enter the code from your rental's status page to finish verifying.
Instant or monthly?
An instant rental is enough for a one-off verification. A monthly rental only makes sense if you expect Twitch to text that number again — most verification flows here don't require that.
