How to use the Clips feature on Twitch

Twitch is a great place to watch the world's best players stream your favorite video games, how-to content, and other entertainment. Often there are memorable moments that viewers want to capture, but that often is difficult as the video content is live. The Clips feature allows users to capture between 5 and 60 of the most recent seconds of a stream. The following sections detail how to use the Clips feature on Twitch.
