I have around 60-70°C when watching Twitch and use YouTube. Is this normal temperature for [strike]CPU laptop[/strike] laptop CPU?

70C under full load is within the normal range for Intel's desktop CPUs. Mobile CPUs usually have a higher typical operating range to reduce the design effort that laptop manufacturers need to put in their cooling design and the amount of power used by the fans.

If you are playing videos without hardware acceleration, the CPU load will be fairly high and there is nothing surprising about it getting to 70C.
