How to See What Channels You Mod for on Twitch (Distractify)

Though you may spend hours a day watching Twitch streams from your favorite creators, the unsung heroes of every livestream channel are the moderators.

Since mods are tasked with paying close attention to a channel's chat feed during a live stream, it requires quite a bit of attention, especially if you're moderating for a popular creator.
