I currently have ~200 views and 10 follower. But everytime someone wants to search my channel on twitch it doesn’t pop up. How can I get this fixed. My twitch username is berkaykrn and it won’t show unless I typed twitch. tv/berkaykrn

Edit: I just checked to see for myself and you show up perfectly fine. The search is not just for channels, it also does videos, games etc… so it is always going to return the top results first. When I type in your channel name, the most relevant results show up first, and if you click ‘channels’, you show up at the top of the channels list (as that name is an exact match).
