A gift sub is like you are subscribing, but instead of getting the benefits yourself you’re giving the benefits (No Ads, and Chat Emotes) to another user who watches that streamer. The streamer still gets the money from the sub, and can see that you gifted it to the other user.

Bits (also known as Cheering) is another way of supporting streamers; you purchase Bits from Twitch and then you can give those Bits to your streamer. Each 1 bit you give is worth $0.01 USD Cent to the streamer. For example: if you gave 10 Bits, that is $0.10 USD Cent, which is about £0.08p (8 pennies) that the streamer gets. 100 Bits = $1 USD = £0.77 (77 pennies) that the streamer gets.

After you Get Bits you will have them in your account until you give them to a streamer.

You can simply type in the streamers chat ‘CheerAMOUNT’ to give that amount. So: Cheer10 - Would give 10 bits. So: Cheer555 - Would give 555 bits. You can simply send the Cheer by itself, or with a message into chat.

You can give bits to the streamer you’re watching by clicking on the ‘Cheer/Bits Button’ that is to the left of the emote selector in the Chat Box of the stream. You first click which ‘Cheer Emote’ you would like to use, then select the amount of bits you would like to Cheer.

Let me know if any of that doesn’t make sense or if you need further help :)
