Twitch Drops: how to link Twitch and Activision accounts?

(Updated)

Want to snag free in-game rewards through Twitch Drops or claim your Prime Gaming loot for Activision games like Call of Duty? You'll need to link your Twitch and Activision accounts. Here's a clear, updated guide on how to do it:

1. Prepare Your Accounts:

• Activision Account: Head to the Activision account login page and either log in to your existing account or create a new one if you don't have one already.
• Twitch Account: Go to Twitch.tv and log in. If you're new to Twitch, you'll need to create an account first.

2. The Linking Process (Direct Method):

The easiest way to link your accounts is through the dedicated connections page on the Activision website.

• Go to the Activision Connected Accounts page.
• In the "Link with Twitch Account" section, click the "Link with Twitch Account" button.
• You'll be redirected to Twitch to authorize the connection. Click "Authorize".

Alternative Method (If the Direct Method Doesn't Work):

Sometimes, navigating directly through the Activision website can be more reliable.

• Log in to your Activision account on the Activision website.
• Navigate to your profile settings. This is usually found by clicking on your username or avatar.
• Look for a section labeled "Connected Accounts," "Linked Accounts," or something similar.
• Find the Twitch option and click "Link to Account" or a similar button.
• You'll be redirected to Twitch. Click "Authorize" to confirm the link.

3. Confirmation:

After authorizing the connection on Twitch, you should be redirected back to the Activision website, and the connection should be confirmed. You'll usually see a message confirming the successful link.

4. Earning Drops and Rewards:

Now that your accounts are linked, you're ready to earn Twitch Drops!

• Find eligible streams: Look for Twitch streams playing Activision games that have active Drop campaigns. These streams will usually be marked with a "Drops Enabled" tag.
• Watch the stream: Meet the required viewing time to earn the Drops.
• Claim your Drops: You'll receive a notification on Twitch when you've earned a Drop. Claim it in your Twitch Inventory.
• Check in-game: The rewards should appear in your linked Activision game account.

For Prime Gaming Rewards:

If you are a Prime Gaming member, make sure to also claim your Activision rewards through the Prime Gaming website. These rewards will then be delivered to your linked Activision account.

Troubleshooting:

• Double-check your login details: Make sure you're using the correct login information for both your Activision and Twitch accounts.
• Try a different browser: Sometimes browser issues can interfere with the linking process.
• Clear your browser's cache and cookies: This can resolve temporary issues.
• Contact Activision Support: If you're still having trouble, reach out to Activision Support for assistance.

By following these updated steps, you'll be well on your way to claiming those valuable Twitch Drops and Prime Gaming rewards!
