3. Once inside your settings click on the “Connections” tab. 
4. Scroll down to “Youtube” section and click on the “Connect” button. 
5. Choose the account and Youtube channel that you want to connect and click “allow”.

Linking your Twitch account to Youtube makes it much easier to share content from your Twitch account to your Youtube account. You can literally share clips and highlights straight from Twitch and upload them directly to Youtube.
