Description: Image showing the filter content bars which are displayed at the top of each streaming category. This shows (from left to right) the sub-category search, tags search and language search bars.
Part 1: Sub-Categories
Description: Image showing the filter content bars which are displayed at the top of each streaming category. This shows (from left to right) the sub-category search (outlined in red), tags search and language search bars.
The first filter, located to the far left will vary in name depending on which streaming category you are in:
- Gaming - Game
- Art- Style
- Music - Genre
- Tech, IRL, and Education - Topic
The sub-category describes the main focus of the current stream. So Apex Legends streamers will select said game as their sub-category, digital artists might use Digital Art, and so on.
When you click on that box you will only see a limited list of available sub-categories. That is because only currently used items will be shown in said list.
Once you choose a sub-category of your choice, you will only see streams that use said category.
If you wish to filter to something specific that you do not see listed, type in the name and press enter. If there is someone using that filter it will display that streamer, if not, your search will automatically empty.
Part 2: Tags
Description: Image showing the filter content bars which are displayed at the top of each streaming category. This shows (from left to right) the sub-category search, tags search (outlined in red) and language search bars.
Tags are used by streamers to describe their stream or themselves further.
So if you are looking for a variety streamer, you would have to put in the tag "Variety Streamer", which filters out streamers who don't use the tag currently.
If you type in a tag that currently is not used, it will automatically disappear in your search field. When you start typing, it will recommend tags that are being used as an auto-complete option.
Part 3: Language
Description: Image showing the filter content bars which are displayed at the top of each streaming category. This shows (from left to right) the sub-category search, tags search and language search bars (outlined in red).
You also can filter streams by their language. The languages are listed in what they are called in their own language. So if you are looking for a Finnish stream, you'd have to choose "Suomi" in the list, for German "Deutsch" and so on. Only streams that chose it as their primary language will be listed under the chosen language.
!! QUICK TIP !!
You can remove these filters at any time, either by clicking the 'x' on the individual tag boxes or by clicking the large blue button labeled Remove Filters on the right side of the screen.
