At Gen Con 2019, there are three venues at the convention streaming online so that even those who can’t make the journey can directly share in the excitement and community of the show.
Gen Con TV - Live games & special events
Gen Con Studio - Interviews & demos with developers & publishers
Gen Con Main Stage - The biggest events from the Main Stage, including the Costume Contest!
All the channels are also collected together on the Gen Con Stream Team page on Twitch.

If you have your own Twitch channel, re-host our stream to help spread the fun far and wide, bringing even more people into the Gen Con family!
GenConTV - Celebrity Games & Events
The Streaming Stage hosts several special events each day, with celebrities, streamers, and industry luminaries playing games not only for a live studio audience, but also everyone watching from home. They will play Dungeons & Dragons or other fun RPG’s and games. Some of them are fan-favorite streamers and others are industry veterans launching new games.
