"Extensions are programmable, interactive overlays and panels, which help broadcasters interact with viewers. With Extensions, the Twitch community can interact in new ways such as heat maps, real-time data-driven overlays, mini-games, and leaderboards." – 'Getting Started with Extensions', Twitch Developers, 2019.

There are several types of Extensions:
- A panel extension appears in the panel area below the video player. Panel Extensions stay active even when the channel is not live.
- A video-overlay extension renders on top of the video player as a transparent overlay. Overlay Extensions are viewable only when the channel is live.
- A video-component extension renders on top of both the video player and any video-overlay extensions. Component Extensions take up only part of the screen and can be hidden by viewers. Component Extensions are viewable only when the channel is live.
