Download a mobile-first landing page template that auto-highlights when your Twitch stream is live and pairs with Bluesky's Live Now badge.

Pain point: You want a lightweight, branded landing page that sits behind your Bluesky profile, shows your portfolio, and automatically highlights your Twitch stream when you1re live 6 without wrestling DNS, bulky CMS, or a tangle of integrations.

Why this matters in 2026

Bluesky's adoption spiked after late-2025 platform shifts and feature launches 6 notably the roll-out of the Live Now badge (begun in the v1.114 beta in 2025). With creators migrating to diverse social surfaces, a single, mobile-first landing page tied to your Bluesky profile is now a must-have: it increases discoverability, centralizes monetization, and works with Bluesky's Live Now linkage to Twitch.

Bluesky's Live Now badge currently links Twitch streams automatically; this template complements that behavior with an on-page highlight and instant CTAs when your stream goes live.

What you get in this guide

  • A ready-to-save HTML + CSS + JS template optimized for Bluesky profile links and mobile-first use.
  • Embed instructions for Twitch and two approaches to detect live status: client-side and serverless (recommended).
  • Prewritten copy blocks, meta tags for SEO & social, CTA button examples, and copy you can paste into your Bluesky profile.
  • Best practices for custom domains, DNS, privacy, and analytics (2026 updates included).

Quick overview 6 how it works

  1. Host the single-file landing page on a small host (Netlify, Vercel, Fly, or a custom domain). For modular delivery and template-as-code patterns see Modular Publishing Workflows.
  2. Set the Bluesky profile link to point to your landing page URL 6 Bluesky will show your profile link and the app's Live Now badge will point at Twitch if you include your Twitch link in the profile.
  3. The page queries Twitch (via a secure serverless endpoint or public API token) to determine if the channel is live and toggles the "Live" banner and primary CTA accordingly.

Before you start: requirements and 2026 notes

  • Twitch channel name or ID.
  • Basic hosting (static site host with optional serverless functions for secure Twitch API keys).
  • Twitch Client ID and OAuth token if you use the serverless approach 6 Twitch's Helix API is stable in 2026; tokens and scopes haven't dramatically changed since 2024 but follow Twitch developer docs. Avoid embedding secrets client-side.
  • Why serverless in 2026? Rate limits and token security: Twitch tightened some rate behaviors through 20242026; lightweight serverless proxies reduce exposure and give you caching and retry control.

Downloadable template (copy & save as live-landing.html)

This single-file template is intentionally lightweight and mobile-first. Save it as live-landing.html and host it. Below the template you1ll find instructions for the serverless function, meta tags, and copy blocks.

How to save and host

  1. Copy the file contents into a new file named live-landing.html.
  2. Host it on Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, or your custom domain. Netlify/Vercel supports a single-file deploy and a serverless starter.
  3. Point your Bluesky profile link to the hosted URL. In your Bluesky profile, also set the Twitch link to your Twitch channel address so Bluesky's native Live Now badge points to Twitch as well.

Serverless function (secure live check) 6 Node.js example

Do not put your Client Secret in the front-end. Use a serverless function to query Twitch Helix's Get Streams endpoint and return a simple JSON payload.

// Example Netlify function: netlify/functions/twitch-live.js
const fetch = require('node-fetch')

exports.handler = async function(event) {
  const channel = (event.queryStringParameters && event.queryStringParameters.channel) || ''
  if (!channel) return { statusCode: 400, body: JSON.stringify({error:'missing channel'}) }

  // Environment vars: TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_APP_TOKEN (OAuth Bearer)
  const clientId = process.env.TWITCH_CLIENT_ID
  const token = process.env.TWITCH_APP_TOKEN

  const url = `https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=${encodeURIComponent(channel)}`
  const r = await fetch(url, { headers: { 'Client-ID': clientId, 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } })
  const data = await r.json()

  const isLive = data.data && data.data.length > 0
  const stream = isLive ? data.data[0] : null
  const response = { isLive, url: isLive ? `https://twitch.tv/${channel}` : `https://twitch.tv/${channel}`, title: stream ? stream.title : null }

  return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify(response) }
}

How to get Twitch tokens in 2026 (short)

  1. Create a Twitch Developer application and copy the Client ID.
  2. Use the OAuth Client Credentials flow to get an app access token (server-side). Store both as env vars in your host (TWITCH_CLIENT_ID, TWITCH_APP_TOKEN).
  3. Rotate tokens occasionally; implement caching to avoid hitting rate limits.

Prewritten copy blocks (paste-ready)

Use these for Bluesky profile or your landing page sections.

  • Short bio: "Streamer & creator 6 I play indie RPGs and build community-driven speedruns. Tune in live for co-op nights and giveaways."
  • CTA for pin: "Live now 6 join the stream & say hi!"
  • Booking line: "Brand inquiries & collaborations: hello@yourdomain.com"

Meta tags & SEO: quick starter

For discoverability in 2026, make sure your landing page includes these meta tags to help Bluesky, link previews and search engines display correctly.

<meta name='description' content='Streamer landing page 	6 live alerts, links, merch, and bookings.'>
<meta property='og:title' content='Your Name 	6 Live on Twitch when streaming'>
<meta property='og:description' content='Catch live streams, tips, and merch.'>
<meta property='og:image' content='https://yourdomain.com/og-image.png'>
<link rel='canonical' href='https://yourdomain.com/'>

Mobile-first & accessibility tips

  • Make CTAs large and high contrast 6 Bluesky users are predominantly mobile-first in 2026.
  • Use accessible ARIA attributes for dynamic elements (e.g., aria-hidden on the iframe when not visible). For localization and caption workflows, check community resources on subtitles & localization.
  • Ensure link targets open in a new tab only for external links, and label them clearly.

Analytics and privacy

Creators often want both insight and privacy. In 2026, with rising privacy expectations, use a lightweight analytics option (Plausible, Fathom, or a self-hosted minimal tracker). If you embed third-party trackers, disclose them on a simple privacy line on the page. For privacy-by-default patterns and UI tradeoffs, see privacy & on-device patterns.

Bluesky integration checklist

  1. Host your landing page and test the URL on desktop and mobile.
  2. Update your Bluesky profile link to the hosted landing page URL.
  3. Set the Twitch link in Bluesky to https://twitch.tv/yourname so Bluesky's native Live Now badge points to Twitch automatically.
  4. Test: start a Twitch stream and watch the landing page and Bluesky badge behavior (serverless check should flip live state).
  • Composable profiles: In 2026, creators prefer small, single-purpose landing pages that can be embedded into link aggregators. Keep your page modular (one file or headless fragments) for easy reuse.
  • Federated & decentralized link surfaces: Expect Bluesky and niche social clients to expand how they surface Live and link metadata. Design your page with well-structured meta tags and a clear canonical URL so third-party clients can pull accurate previews.
  • Privacy-by-default: Many audiences favor privacy-first creators. Offer opt-in analytics and clear cookie-free fallbacks.

Common troubleshooting

  • Live not detecting: Confirm your serverless endpoint is returning isLive. Check Twitch token validity and rate limits. Use logs in your hosting provider.
  • Embed blocked: Twitch player requires parent parameter that matches the domain hosting the iframe. If embedding fails, remove the iframe and link to the channel instead. See guidance on embedding and portable kits in the field at portable smartcam kits.
  • Bluesky badge not showing: Bluesky automatically assigns Live Now badges based on your Twitch link in the profile. If it doesn't appear, re-add the Twitch link and allow a few minutes for propagation.

Short case study: LinaPlays (fictional)

Lina, an indie game streamer, used this template in January 2026. She hosted the page on Vercel with a serverless endpoint. After setting the Bluesky profile link and Twitch link, her Bluesky Live badge pointed viewers to Twitch while the landing page toggled a big "LIVE" banner and embedded the player. Within two weeks she increased click-throughs from Bluesky by 38% (measured with Plausible) and consolidated tips and merch in one place. She also explored turning streams into cataloged merch and clips in storage workflows like Storage for Creator-Led Commerce.

Checklist before you publish

  • Replace CONFIG.twitchChannel with your Twitch name in the HTML file.
  • Deploy a serverless function with TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_APP_TOKEN env vars.
  • Upload an OG image and update the meta image URL.
  • Test on mobile and set the Bluesky profile link to the final URL.

Comply with Twitch and Bluesky Terms of Service. Don't expose API secrets client-side. In light of platform moderation and privacy scrutiny in late 20251026, keep a simple privacy line and contact email on your page for takedown or data requests.

Actionable takeaways

  • Copy & host the single-file template and commit to a custom domain 6 it makes you look professional and improves link trust.
  • Use a serverless live-check to avoid leaking tokens and to keep your page responsive and secure.
  • Optimize CTAs for mobile 6 make Watch Live and Tip your primary actions.
  • Set your Bluesky Twitch link so the Live Now badge works alongside your landing page highlight.

Next steps 6 2010-minute plan

  1. 10 min: Copy the template, set CONFIG.twitchChannel, and deploy to a static host.
  2. 5 min: Create a Twitch developer app and issue a server-side token (or test without serverless during setup).
  3. 5 min: Update Bluesky profile link & Twitch link, and run a test stream.

Final notes

In 2026, having a small, branded landing page that integrates smoothly with Bluesky and Twitch isn't optional 6 it's a baseline for professional creators. This approach reduces friction, protects your identity and tokens, and gives you a central place to convert traffic into subscribers, tips, and partners.
