Today, there are Founders Badges on Twitch. A concept available only for the first 10 Premium or paying subscribers in Twitch affiliate channels. It is also awarded to the first 25 Prime or paid subscribers of Twitch's partner channels. Learn more about the Twitch Founder Badge.
What is the definition of the founder badge?
First, it should be noted that the founder badge is only available to affiliate channels and partners of Twitch. However, if your channel is not in these categories, you cannot award founder badges. So to get it, you have to be the first Prime or paid subscriber of a channel, or one of the first 25 paid subscribers of a partner channel.
Is it possible to remove or reassign Twitch Founder Badges?
Technically, no. This is because founder badges are distributed, in small quantities, to those who financially support your channel. As a result, these badges cannot be deleted.
Par contre, si l’un de vos fondateurs décide de laisser son abonnement expirer, du coup, le badge ne sera plus visible. En revanche, il figurera toujours dans votre tableau de bord. Et vous pouvez le modifier à ce moment, que si la personne décide de ne plus s’abonner !
How to change who are the founders of your twitch channel?
It's simple, just go to your dashboard. In Channel Stats, then click View your subscriber details.
Then to do: manage your founders. You will be able to choose who are your founders of the channel by deleting those who are no longer subscribers, you will then have the choice to keep only those who are still subscribers or not.
You can also modify the other types of roles:
The roles of the badge holders can be modified, ie: Editor, moderator or VIP. For your information, moderators are the most important on your channel. The VIP title is an honorary title to give to your most loyal subscribers. If you want to do a little update on these roles:
- Go to Community;
- Then, click Role Manager;
- To add a VIP member, type: Vip username;
- To add a moderator, type: mod username;
- If you change your mind and wish to cancel, click on unvip username or just cancel the modification of username.
How do I award a founder badge?
The awarding of a founder badge depends entirely on the way in which you have assigned it. As a result, there is no way of assigning a founder badge to a user or subscriber yourself.
Indeed, even if your subscriber has left your channel, he or she will still keep the badge and its status. However, it is possible to hide the founder badge in your settings. However, you can't delete it under any circumstances, as Twitch itself distributes the badges. It is not controlled by the Twitch channel owner.
The benefit of a Founder Badge is that you can track people who have been with you since you started your streaming journey. It is therefore a kind of reward to the precious support of this subscriber. For other subscribers, you can award subscription or loyalty badges as a thank you.
