How to Get Twitch To Stop Sending Emails

Introduction

Twitch started as a website for watching videos of people playing video games and chatting, and it has grown to much more than that in the last few years. You will get notifications when a player you follow goes online, and other various emails you might consider spam.

One of the most common spam emails received by its users is the one telling you to "highlight your recent broadcast". The complaints about that include people getting their Gmail inboxes loaded with anywhere from 10 to 80+ emails in short amounts of time. When something goes wrong at Twitch, your Gmail ends up paying for it.

Considering the amount of Twitch sends, you may want to block their emails. This article explains how to do just that.

Unsubscribe From Emails Via Twitch Account

As always, you should first try to unsubscribe from these emails via your Twitch account. The steps are almost similar for the website and the mobile app.

1. Open the Twitch mobile app or visit twitch.tv on your desktop and log in to your account.

2. Click on your profile icon and open Settings from the menu.

3. Mobile App: Click By Email and disable Send me email notifications.

Website: Navigate to the Notifications tab. Under the By Email section, toggle off All emails.

If you only want to stop some but not all Twitch emails, you can disable the ones you don't want to receive and keep the rest enabled.

Unsubscribe Using the Unsubscribe Button in Gmail

Another way to stop getting Twitch emails in Gmail is to unsubscribe using the unsubscribe button at the top of the emails.

Note: Keep in mind that doing so will not stop all emails from that email address. Instead, you only get unsubscribed from that specific mailing list. If you want to block all emails, read the next section.

Block Twitch Emails in Gmail

Don't worry if the Twitch emails don't stop even after you've unsubscribed. You still have the option to block the emails in Gmail.

Twitch primarily uses two email addresses for sending emails:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Don't block the [email protected] email address, as it is used for sending account-related updates. The other email address, [email protected] is reserved for other emails, such as when a streamer you follow goes live or marketing emails. However, it's also used for sending verification codes and new login alerts.

So, in order to block emails, you should filter them by their mailing lists instead.

Block Twitch Marketing Emails

1. Open Gmail on your desktop and log in to your account.

2. Click the Show search options button.

3. Type list:(<marketing.list-id.twitch.tv>) in the Has the Words field.

4. Click Create filter.

5. Select Delete it from the list and click Create filter.

You can follow the same process to stop Twitch emails from other mailing lists.

Block Twitch Streamer is Live Emails

You can choose to block all live stream email notifications or only for a specific streamer.

1. Open a "Streamer is live" email from Twitch.

2. Click the down arrow below "Twitch".

3. Click Filter messages from this mailing list.

4. If you want to block such emails from all channels, remove the channel id from the filter value as shown in the screenshot and click Create Filter.

5. Select Delete it from the list and click Create Filter.

Conclusion

Twitch sends a lot of unwanted emails that can quickly clutter your inbox. The best solution to stop emails from Twitch is to adjust your email preferences in the account settings.

If you're unable to access your account for any reason, you can set up Gmail filters to automatically delete Twitch emails.

Unwanted emails can be a major distraction and disrupt your workflow. By blocking Twitch emails, you’ll reduce inbox noise and make it easier to stay organized and focused.
