Guide on How to Delete Clips Created by Viewers from Your Channel on Twitch.tv
Picture this: You're deep into an epic stream, chat is popping off, and suddenly a killer moment happens. Viewers jump in and clip it instantly. Most of the time, that's awesome for growth. But every once in a while, a clip pops up that's off-brand, low quality, or just not something you want representing your channel. That's where Twitch's built-in clip management tools come in handy.
Whether you're protecting your brand, cleaning up after a chaotic stream, or simply curating the best content, deleting viewer-created clips is quick and straightforward. Here's the most up-to-date way to handle it in 2026 using the Creator Dashboard.
Step 1: Access the Clips Manager in Your Creator Dashboard
Log in to your Twitch account on a desktop browser (the full management tools work best here). Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then select Creator Dashboard from the dropdown.
In the left sidebar, click Content to expand the menu, then choose Clips. This opens your Clips Manager, where you'll see every clip made from your channel — both the ones you created and those made by viewers.
Pro tip: Twitch keeps everything organized with handy tabs at the top. Switch between "Clips of My Channel" (viewer clips plus yours) and "Clips I've Created" depending on what you're managing.
Step 2: Navigate to Clips of My Channel
Once inside the Clips section, click the Clips of My Channel tab. This is where all viewer-generated clips from your broadcasts live, along with any you've made yourself.
Here you'll see a clean grid or list view of thumbnails with titles, dates, and creators. Use the search and filter options at the top (like game category or date range) to quickly zero in on specific streams or moments.
Step 3: Select and Delete the Clip
Click on any clip thumbnail to open a detailed preview. A pop-up window appears with the video player and a set of action buttons on the right or top.
You'll see four main options:
- Moderation — Quick tools to handle the clip creator if needed: Timeout User (24 hours), Ban User, or Delete All Clips from This Video. Perfect for removing an entire batch from one problematic stream.
- Delete — The straightforward way to remove just this single clip permanently.
- Share — Share the clip elsewhere if you love it.
- Watch Clip on Page — Opens the full clip page for more context.
To delete, simply click the Delete button (or the trash can icon in newer views) and confirm. The clip is gone for good — no recovery option.
Bonus bulk option: For bigger cleanups, use the checkboxes next to multiple clips or the three-dot menu at the top to delete all clips from a specific stream or even everything you've created.
Quick Tip: Turning Clips into Monetization Gold
Twitch clips themselves still don't offer direct monetization like VODs or live streams. Many smart streamers turn this into an opportunity instead of a headache: they review viewer clips, delete the ones that don't fit, then compile the best ones into highlight reels or YouTube videos. It's a great way to repurpose content without duplicating raw clips on your channel.
If you're tired of managing random clips altogether, head to Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream and toggle off "Enable Clips" to prevent new ones from being created in future broadcasts.
Bottom line: Your channel, your rules. Taking a few minutes to curate clips keeps your content looking professional and helps your best moments shine. Got a big stream coming up? Make this part of your post-stream checklist and you'll thank yourself later.
