Ever seen a Twitch stream where players get in-game rewards like rare skins, bonus packs, or limited-time content just for showing up? Those are called TwitchDrops, and they're awesome for leveling up your gaming experience. But to get them for EA games, you need to link your EA account to Twitch. How do you do that? In this article, we'll show you how to link your EA account to Twitch.
Step-by-Step Guide to Linking EA to Twitch
Linking your account with Twitch is pretty simple. All you have to do is follow some simple steps. Here is how you can do it:
Go to the EA Account Settings Page
First, open any web browser and visit the Electronic Arts (EA) website. On the right side of the page, click the "Profile" option, and then log in with your valid credentials.
If you don't have an EA account, go ahead and create one by clicking on the "Sign up" option to continue.
Go to Connections and find the Twitch option.
After logging in, go to the left side of the account settings and head to the Connections tab. Here, you will be able to manage all of your accounts and platforms. Simply scroll down and find the "Twitch" option in the list.
Head to the Twitch link and sign in
Now, click on the Twitch option. You will be prompted to sign in with your Twitch account. Please note that if you have (2FA) two-factor authentication enabled, you'd also have to provide a verification number or OTP that is sent to your email or mobile device.
Authorize the connection.
After you sign in with your Twitch account, a prompt will appear asking for permission to connect your Twitch account. Click Authorize to continue.
Lastly, confirm the link and check for the success message.
And that's it! You have now linked your EA account with Twitch.
How to Verify If Your EA and Twitch Accounts Are Linked Properly
Now, the question is, how would you cross-check if your EA account and Twitch account are linked? Well, to confirm this, you can do the following steps.
Log into Twitch, check connected accounts
Click on Twitch's settings and head over to the "Connections" tab. After that, go to the list of connected accounts. Under the other accounts section, if you can see an EA account, it means that your account is connected.
Visit EA settings to confirm the connection.
Alternatively, you may check the connection using EA settings as well. Click on your profile name from the top-right corner and select Account Settings. In the left-hand menu, click on Connections and look for Twitch in the list of linked accounts. If Twitch is listed, the connection is active. If not, you may need to relink your accounts by following the official linking process.
Common Issues While Linking Your EA Account to Twitch
As you connect both accounts, you will likely face a few problems. Knowing how to deal with such issues can be very helpful; let's discuss this in detail.
| Problem | Solution |
