[VERGE] Twitch will now let streamers simultaneously stream on any service they want
(www.theverge.com)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Big names like xQc, Amouranth, and Nickmercs have signed major deals with Twitch competitor Kick this year; xQc’s and Nickmercs’ deals are non-exclusive, and given that Amouranth has a video on her Twitch account from a couple months ago, it seems hers is non-exclusive, too.
(He dined with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy earlier this month and seems pleased with Friday’s news.)
“To further protect our streamers, we’re adding doxxing and swatting to the list of Off-Service Conduct behaviors we will enforce against,” the company says (emphasis Twitch’s), and the changes are in effect as of Friday.
Guest Star, which lets streamers host co-streams with others, will now be named Stream Together and will be getting features like the ability to merge chats.
Twitch says a version of its TikTok-style Discovery Feed that surfaces live channels is in testing.
And Twitch’s own alerts system for notifications like subscribers and Bits donations will “soon” support a streamer’s custom animated emotes.
