Maghla Twitch VOD & Videos

Barbara Phelippeaux might not be a household name, but in the French streaming world, she's broken barriers under her online persona Maghla. This 31-year-old content creator from Les Lilas made history in January 2025 when she became the first French female streamer to hit one million followers on Twitch. It's a milestone that speaks volumes about her staying power in an industry where many creators burn out within their first year.

Maghla's journey started back in 2017 with horror games, but she quickly realized that sticking to one genre wouldn't cut it. Instead of following the typical gaming streamer playbook, she developed her own flavor of content mixing gaming sessions with talk show formats. Her signature shows "Sip&Gossip" and "Fleep&Go Sleep" became fan favorites, offering viewers something different from the endless stream of battle royale gameplay that dominates Twitch. These interactive formats helped her build the kind of loyal community that many streamers dream of but few achieve.

What makes Maghla's story particularly interesting is her background. Growing up with gamer parents who introduced her to classics like Doom and World of Warcraft, she was practically destined for this path. But she didn't jump straight into streaming after high school. Instead, she worked from age 17, earned a literature baccalaureate as an independent candidate, and completed a degree in Economics and Management at the University of Cergy-Pontoise. She even attended École des technologies numériques appliquées before diving full-time into content creation.

Her numbers tell an impressive story of consistent growth. By 2023, she had already crossed 950,000 followers, making her one of the most-watched French female streamers. Now sitting at over 1.1 million Twitch followers, she's also built substantial audiences across other platforms - 1.27 million on YouTube, and a million each on Instagram and TikTok. Her recent streams average around 5,800 viewers, with her all-time peak hitting 55,164 viewers in January 2025.

The French streaming scene has been dominated by male creators for years, making Maghla's achievement particularly significant. She's not just another content creator riding trends - she's carved out her own space with a mix of gaming, lifestyle content, and genuine personality that resonates with her audience. When she celebrated reaching one million followers with an Instagram carousel, her caption perfectly captured her authentic approach: "You were there from what era of hair?". It's that kind of self-aware humor and connection with her community that has made her a genuine force in French digital entertainment.
