If you’re a fan of Blizzard games like Overwatch, World of Warcraft, or Diablo, you’ve probably heard about Twitch Drops—free in-game rewards you can earn by watching streams. But to claim these goodies, you’ll need to know how to connect Blizzard to Twitch. Linking your Blizzard Battle.net account to Twitch is a quick and easy process that opens the door to exclusive cosmetics, mounts, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just diving into Blizzard’s universe, this guide will walk you through the steps to sync your accounts seamlessly. Ready to level up your gaming experience? Let’s get started with the tips below!

Step 1: Linking from Twitch’s Side

First, ensure you have both a Twitch and a Battle.net account. Head to Twitch.tv and log in. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select “Settings” from the dropdown. Navigate to the “Connections” tab—here’s where the magic happens. Scroll down until you spot “Blizzard Battle.net.” Click the “Connect” button next to it, and a pop-up will prompt you to log into your Battle.net account. Enter your credentials, select your region, and hit “Authorize.” If you’re already logged into Battle.net on the same browser, it might connect instantly. Once done, Twitch will confirm the link, and you’re halfway there. Double-check by refreshing the page—your Battle.net account should now appear connected.

Step 2: Verifying from Battle.net and Troubleshooting

Now, let’s confirm the connection from Blizzard’s end. Log into Battle.net, click your username in the top-right corner, and go to “Account Settings.” Under the “Connections” section, look for Twitch. If it’s linked, you’ll see your Twitch username listed. If not, click “+Connect,” log into Twitch, and authorize the link. Sometimes, issues arise—like a browser glitch or a recent password change breaking the connection. If that happens, unlink and relink both accounts, but note there’s a 7-day cooldown before switching to a new Twitch account. After linking, watch eligible streams with Drops enabled, claim your rewards on Twitch, and log into Battle.net to see them in-game within 24 hours. Enjoy your loot!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Do You Get Blizzard Drops on Twitch?

To get Blizzard Drops on Twitch, link your Blizzard Battle.net account to Twitch via the “Connections” settings on both platforms. Then, watch streams with Drops enabled—check the streamer’s title or Twitch’s Drops inventory for eligibility. Claim your rewards in Twitch’s Drops section after watching for the required time, and they’ll appear in-game on Battle.net within 24 hours. 

Do Twitch Drops Work If Muted?

Yes, Twitch Drops work even if the stream is muted, as long as you’re actively watching. Twitch tracks your viewership based on the stream being open in your browser or app, not the audio. Just ensure the stream isn’t paused or minimized for too long, and you’re logged into the Twitch account linked to Battle.net. Mute away and still claim your Blizzard rewards!
