Blogging about eSports or video games? Then this is the perfect plugin for your blog, as it lets you install a simple widget in the sidebar or footer, listing the most popular live streams of a particular game or Twitch search. It even shows real-time previews and the current viewer count for each stream, so your visitors can easily navigate to any Twitch stream of their desire.
Support for any game
It does not matter whether you want to list streams of League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void or other games, the Snoost: Twitch Game Streams plugin support any game present on twitch. Simply place the widget in a sidebar where you want it to appear, and type in the name of the game you want to list streams of (Example: If you type “Star Citizen”, it will show live streams on Twitch of Star Citizen). All streams are sorted by the highest amount of current viewers, and updated every fifth minute.
