What is Twitch?

Twitch is the world’s leading live streaming platform for gamers and many other things, from ‘social eating’, which consists of watching streamers eat and drink, to simply watching someone play chess. On the platform, users can watch and chat with millions of other users from around the world.

Twitch also allows users to broadcast and watch pre-recorded videos. Typically, a Twitch broadcast includes audio commentary from the player, and a video of the player might also appear on the edge of the screen via their webcam.

Watching broadcasts and videos on Twitch is completely free and doesn’t require viewers to log in. Creating an account, however, does allow users to add their favourite channels to a follow list (similar to subscribing to a channel on YouTube) and participate in each stream’s specific chatroom.

Why is Twitch so popular?

Twitch has gained popularity mostly due to its live streaming feature as well as the rise in eSport interest. Today, millions of professional gamers stream their live game action, which in turn is spectated by millions of users. One of the factors to its success is that it focuses its broadcast services to video games mostly.
