# Schedule Twitch posts: formats, limits, setup

Schedule chat messages and announcements in your own channel to Twitch with 1Post: formats, limits, the daily cap and how to connect your channel.

1Post schedules and publishes chat messages and announcements in your own channel to Twitch. Write once, tailor the Twitch version with a live preview, and 1Post checks the post against Twitch's rules before it goes out at the time you set. The text limit is 500 characters, counted by code points.

## What you can post to Twitch

- Chat message
- Announcement

## Twitch limits at a glance

Every rule, with the network's own page where we read one: [Twitch specs and limits](https://get1post.com/platforms/twitch/specs.md).

## Connect Twitch

1. Open Accounts in 1Post and choose Connect.
2. Pick Twitch.
3. Sign in with Twitch and approve access for the channel you want to post to.
4. Choose the channel in 1Post. It is ready to pick in the composer.

## Before it goes out

The composer shows Twitch's preview beside the others, counts the text the way Twitch does, and lists anything the network would refuse, such as a file that is too large. Fix it in the composer and the post stays in your queue.

## Questions

**How many characters can I post on Twitch?**

500, counted by code points. The 1Post composer uses the same count and marks where the text would be cut. [Character counter](https://get1post.com/tools/character-counter.md).

**Can I schedule Twitch posts with 1Post?**

Yes. Write the post once, tailor the Twitch version, then pick a time or a free queue slot. 1Post previews the post and checks it against Twitch's rules before it is sent.

**How many Twitch posts can 1Post publish in a day?**

Up to 20 a day for each connected Twitch channel.

**Can I send an announcement as well as a chat line?**

Yes. Choose Chat message or Announcement in the composer; both go to the chat of your own channel.
