Getting ready to [start streaming on Twitch](https://allcreatortools.com/blog/how-to-start-streaming-on-twitch-with-obs-studio)? One of the first things you’ll need is your stream key—a unique code that connects your [streaming software](https://allcreatortools.com/categories/streaming%5Fsoftware) to your [Twitch channel](https://allcreatortools.com/blog/managing-roles-on-your-twitch-channel). In this guide, we’ll walk you through finding your stream key and where to add it in [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/). 

**Important**: Keep your stream key private. Anyone with access to it could stream on your channel, so don’t share it publicly.

To find your stream key on Twitch, follow these steps:

1. Log into [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/).
2. Go to Creator Dashboard:  
  1. Click on your profile picture at the top-right corner.
