Connect your Marvel Rivals account to Twitch in three steps

To stream Marvel Rivals on Twitch, you need to link your game account to your Twitch channel. The process takes about five minutes and happens in your Twitch settings, not in the game itself. You'll authorize Twitch to access your Marvel Rivals account, then start streaming through any streaming software like OBS Studio or Streamlabs.

The connection lets Twitch track your in-game activity and display it on your channel. It also unlocks Twitch-specific drops and rewards if the game is running a promotion. Without this link, you can still stream the game, but Twitch won't know you're playing Marvel Rivals.

Key Takeaways

  • You connect Marvel Rivals to Twitch through your Twitch Creator Dashboard settings, not through the game client.
  • The connection requires you to sign in with your NetEase account, which is the account system Marvel Rivals uses.
  • After connecting, you can start streaming through OBS Studio, Streamlabs, or another streaming software without any additional setup in the game.
  • Twitch drops and channel points rewards tied to Marvel Rivals only work if your account is connected.

Sign in to your Twitch Creator Dashboard

Open Twitch in your browser and go to Creator Dashboard in the top right menu. You'll see this option when you're logged in to your account. If you don't have a Twitch account yet, create one first — you need an account to stream.

Once you're in Creator Dashboard, look for the left sidebar menu. You're looking for a section called Settings or Connections depending on your account type. Click on it to see a list of games and services you can connect.

Find and authorize Marvel Rivals

In the Connections section, search for Marvel Rivals or scroll through the list of available games. When you find it, click the button that says Connect or Authorize. Twitch will open a new window asking you to sign in with your NetEase account.

Enter the email address and password for the NetEase account you use to play Marvel Rivals. If you don't remember your NetEase login, go to account.netease.com and use the password reset option before you try connecting. After you sign in, Twitch will ask for permission to access your Marvel Rivals data — click Allow or Confirm to finish.

Start streaming through your software

Once the connection is complete, you don't need to do anything else in Twitch settings. Open the streaming software you use — OBS Studio, Streamlabs, XSplit, or whatever you have set up. Add Marvel Rivals as a game source or window capture, then start your stream as you normally would.

Twitch will now show Marvel Rivals as the game you're streaming. Viewers will see the game title on your channel, and if there are any active Twitch drops for Marvel Rivals, your viewers can earn them while watching your stream.

Troubleshoot if the connection fails

If you see an error message when you try to authorize, the most common cause is using the wrong NetEase account. Make sure you're signing in with the account that's actually linked to your Marvel Rivals game client. You can check this by opening Marvel Rivals and looking at the account name in the top left corner of the main menu.

If you've recently changed your NetEase password, wait a few minutes before trying to connect again — the system sometimes needs time to sync the change. If the connection still doesn't work, sign out of Twitch completely, clear your browser cookies, and try again. If you're still stuck, contact Twitch Support through your Creator Dashboard — they can see whether the connection went through on their end.

What happens after you connect

Your Marvel Rivals account stays connected to Twitch until you manually disconnect it. You can disconnect anytime by going back to Creator Dashboard, finding Marvel Rivals in your Connections list, and clicking Disconnect. Disconnecting doesn't affect your game account or your Twitch channel — it just stops Twitch from tracking your Marvel Rivals activity.

If you switch to a different NetEase account, you'll need to disconnect the old one and connect the new one. Twitch doesn't let you link multiple game accounts to one Twitch channel at the same time, so only your current connected account will show activity on your stream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to connect Marvel Rivals to stream it on Twitch?

No. You can stream Marvel Rivals without connecting your account — just capture the game window in OBS or Streamlabs and start streaming. Connecting is only necessary if you want Twitch to display the game title on your channel or if you want to earn Twitch drops tied to Marvel Rivals.

What's the difference between connecting and just streaming the game?

When you connect, Twitch knows you're playing Marvel Rivals and can track your stats, show the correct game title, and enable drops. Without connecting, Twitch treats it as a generic game capture and won't know which game you're playing unless you tell viewers in your title.

Can I connect multiple Marvel Rivals accounts to one Twitch channel?

No. Twitch only lets you connect one Marvel Rivals account per Twitch channel. If you want to switch accounts, disconnect the old one first, then connect the new one.

Will connecting my account share my personal information with Twitch viewers?

The connection only shares your in-game activity and stats that Twitch displays on your channel. Your NetEase password and personal details stay private — Twitch never sees them.

What if I don't have a NetEase account yet?

You need a NetEase account to play Marvel Rivals, so you'll have one if you've already installed and played the game. If you haven't played yet, create a NetEase account at account.netease.com, then download Marvel Rivals and link it during setup.
