"Looking forward to being able to get into the Lounge at TwitchCon EU" - Twitch CEO Dan Clancy announces his new Partner status on his own platform

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy announced his newfound Partner status on his own platform via a post on X. He even shared the email he received regarding the new status.

Dan Clancy talked sarcastically about how he can finally enter the Partners-only area in Twitchcon EU. He also stated that he had written a song regarding this event, and meant to share it with his viewers on his latest stream on Twitch.

"Looking forward to being able to get into the Lounge at TwitchCon EU. Wrote a song for this that I will share on my next stream."

For those uninitiated, the Partner program comes with a variety of benefits that are only available after fulfilling a set of requirements, such as completing streaming for 25 hours, streaming on 12 different days, and getting an average of 75 viewers (concurrent viewership excluding views from suggested raids and embeds).

The benefits include, but are not limited to, channel customization such as custom chat badges, custom emoticons, custom emoticon prefix, verified user badges, and VOD features with extended storage, and Reruns and Premieres. Partners also get priority support from Twitch staff for any hiccups they may run into while using the platform.

This event comes after the Twitch CEO was barred from the Partner program earlier due to "fluctuating viewership," with him sharing the email he received from his own platform regarding his rejection.
