Definition

A Twitch feature that allows a streamer to send their entire live audience to another streamer's channel, typically after their own stream ends. Viewers are automatically redirected and appear as a sudden surge of visitors.

Example Usage

The streamer raided their friend's channel and brought 5,000 viewers with them.

Origin

Introduced by Twitch in 2017; named after gaming terminology where groups of players 'raid' a location together.

Fun Fact

Raids are often used to support smaller streamers or friends, and the sudden influx of viewers can significantly boost their channel metrics.
