Twitch is a platform where you can stream live/recorded stream videos from various content creators for free/premium ($11.99/month). Being a popular entertainment platform, the Twitch app is available on various platforms except Roku.
Due to the Roku and Twitch dispute, the app is currently not available on the Roku channel store. But you can still stream Twitch on Roku via screen mirroring from your PC/mobile.
How to Screen Mirror Twitch on Roku
To screen mirror Twitch on Roku via mobile or PC, you need to connect your Roku TV to a WIFI network. Also, connect your mobile/PC to the same network as Roku. After this, you enable the following settings:
