How Do You Block Ads on Twitch?
The two official ways to block ads on Twitch are to subscribe to a channel or to subscribe to Twitch Turbo. When you subscribe to a channel, you won’t see most ads on that channel. When you subscribe to Twitch Turbo, most of the ads across the entirety of Twitch will be blocked.
Does a Twitch Subscription Remove Ads?
Yes and no, but mostly yes. When you subscribe to a Twitch channel, most of the ads on that one channel are blocked for you. A streamer can choose to force their subscribers to view ads manually, but that practice isn’t very common. In addition to blocking ads, subscribing to a channel will typically allow you to access unique chat emotes from that channel, and you may get a special badge next to your name in chat showing how long you have subscribed.
Does Twitch Turbo Stop Ads?
Twitch Turbo is a site-wide Twitch subscription which blocks most of the ads across the entire site. It won’t block ads if a streamer has embedded the ads in their stream, but it catches all pre-roll ads that would otherwise appear when you load into a stream, and all mid-roll ads that pop up in the middle of a stream. In addition to blocking ads, Twitch Turbo also includes a handful of other benefits. You get a special Turbo chat badge which you can place next to your name in any stream chat, you get access to an exclusive set of new emotes, and you can also change your name in stream chats. Turbo also includes a useful benefit for streamers. If you stream on Twitch, your Turbo subscription will allow you to store your past broadcasts for 60 days instead of the standard 14 days.
