QTCinderella has opened The Streamer Awards 2026 co-stream to creators across platforms, but the instructions differ depending on where they broadcast. Twitch co-streamers must select “The Streamer Awards” category, include the event's name in their stream title and activate the co-stream feature from QTCinderella's or the official awards channel. Creators on YouTube and Kick can also remotely restream the ceremony, with QTCinderella confirming that they only need the event name in their titles. The guidelines were posted on X on November 11, a day before the November 12 ceremony. The post also says attendees cannot livestream from inside the venue.

QTCinderella sets out the steps creators must follow to co-stream the awards

QTCinderella shared the guidelines on X on November 11, saying, “All co streams are welcome.”She described them as support for the production: “These help the show greatly and help it exist so please keep them in mind.”

She asked creators to select the event category, press the co-stream button on her channel or TheStreamerAwards' channel once the broadcast goes live, and put“The Streamer Awards”somewhere in the title. She also asked participants to follow the official @streamerawards account.

Twitch requires creators to initiate co-streams through that button. A simple rebroadcast does not qualify.

YouTube and Kick creators can restream, but in-person IRL coverage is off limits

Kanel Joseph asked whether creators using a different platform could join in. QTCinderella replied, “Youre welcome to remote restream it no sweat! Just have streamer awards in your title.” She gave a similar answer to X user @Devin_C_Sims, who asked about co-streaming on YouTube: “Welcome to! Just have Streamer Awards in your title.”

That gives YouTube and Kick creators the green light for remote coverage on their channels, while the category and co-stream button instructions apply to Twitch's co-stream setup.

There is one restriction for creators attending in person. QTCinderella said IRL streaming from the venue will not be allowed, but attendees can remotely restream the show and record vlogs.

Her post put it plainly: “If you are attending the event we do not allow IRL streaming BUT you may remote re-stream the event and also may vlog to your hearts content.”

The 2026 ceremony has 37 award categories. IShowSpeed, a two-time winner, Jynxzi, Joe Bartolozzi, CaseOh and Stable Ronaldo are among the five nominees for Streamer of the Year. QTCinderella and Caroline Kwan will host the ceremony.
