Pairing Webcaster X2 to your Twitch channel page is as simple as logging in and allowing Webcaster X2 to stream to your channel page. Webcaster X2 stays paired with your Twitch account between uses. This means you won't need to pair the encoder again, unless you unpair from your Twitch channel page after your broadcast. Unpairing Webcaster X2 can be done from either the encoder's preferences or from the encoder's Pairing page using a web browser.

Your Webcaster X2 must be connected to the Internet before you can pair the encoder to your Twitch channel page.

    • Your Webcaster X2
