In addition to musical performances, guests are set to run live games of Fortnite and Uno, and if you add the “TwitchStreamAid” tag to your own channel, Twitch might choose to feature your stream in the event! Co-streaming and “supporting campaigns” are also encouraged, along with fans watching from home donating on their own.

The main Twitch Stream Aid 2020 event’s conclusion on Saturday will be followed by a subsequent week-long event filled with more fundraising opportunities, the details of which Twitch has yet to reveal.

In a press release for the event, Enthusiast Gaming Entertainment Division EG Live President Corey Mandell stated the following:

We are honored to partner with Twitch and join forces to help support the global fight against COVID-19. Now more than ever we are committed to using our entire platform to provide support and connections for our communities. Twitch Stream Aid is an opportunity to raise funds for the World Health Organization and its fight against coronavirus.

Further information is available at the original blog post, along with donation links, the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, and detailed instructions for co-streaming. A full schedule for all the event’s special guests will also be posted ahead of the show.
