The creator bootcamp (July 15–20) featured professors including Lizzo, T-Pain, Pokimane, and Ludwig, and accepted students such as Skai Jackson and PlaqueBoyMax. The event drew millions of live viewers across platforms.
Streaming Streamer University 2026 live on both Twitch and YouTube marked a confirmed multi-platform pivot for the world's most-subscribed Twitch streamer.
At the July 20 closing awards stream, Cenat confirmed the third installment of Streamer University will be held internationally in Europe, with alumni from 2025 and 2026 classes invited to return.

Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Kaicenat is a creator with a presence on YouTube (8,180,000 followers), Instagram (17,363,845 followers), based in United States. Their content sits in the streaming & entertainment space. Their YouTube bio reads: "I create". The full audience and engagement breakdown is below.
Kaicenat reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As a streamer creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.8%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows streamer content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in streamer and related categories, Kaicenat offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
