Ever wondered if Twitch streamers are as popular as they are on other social media platforms? It’s known that most Twitch streamers start their streaming gigs on YouTube, then move on to Twitch and other social media platforms. Most of these folks are not just ace gamers but also Instagram stars. Their Instagram pages are full of their personal images, and gaming adventures. From epic game battles to sneak peeks behind the scenes, they share it all.

Recently, a trend of doing “fancam” style edits with the most watched Twitch streams has gained quite a lot of traction. To have prime HQ material for the edits, fans, mods, and users first save the pictures and videos posted on Instagram to their laptops and then use them in video editor software. This process is free and takes way less time than cutting footage from full VODs, making the editing more time-efficient and creator-focused. So we’ve decided to research the top 5 Twitch streamers with the most Instagram followers to help you get all the HQ materials you need.
