WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TWITCH?
Launched in 2011, Twitch is a gaming-focused live streaming website. As of February 2020, there were 3.8 million unique broadcasters on the platform, representing millions of people who had joined since then.
Gamers have the option to live-stream their gameplay on Twitch for other people to see. Streams might go from lasting a minute to eight hours or more. You may locate a stream by looking through numerous categories, including particular games. You may follow a streamer’s channel to receive activity updates and notifications if you find one you enjoy.
Since its debut, Twitch has collaborated with gaming organizations like Blizzard Entertainment and the Overwatch League to create global gaming and esports events that are only available on the network.
HOW DOES TWITCH WORK?
A split-screen display lets you view what the streamer sees on their monitor while you watch a live stream or “broadcast.” But through a tiny window on the border of their stream, you’ll also be able to hear and see them perform.
Users may buy games on Twitch using links in streams, and broadcasters get paid for the sales they generate. They can also utilize affiliate links to market things that are related to their streams.
You may interact with other viewers while watching a Twitch stream by commenting with them, and depending on the channel, you might be able to ask questions or offer ideas and get immediate responses. You may view previously broadcast gaming or programs thanks to Twitch’s ability to preserve feeds.
