Twitch is undergoing a platform overhaul to support streamers beyond live sessions. It is looking to diversify content distribution, introducing features like Stories, and improving Stream Together for collaboration. The platform acknowledges the need for mobile moderation tools - the lack of mobile tools has been a limitation in keeping communities safe.
Thursday, March 7, 2024Twitch is introducing a discovery feed that features separate tabs for live streams and top clips. It represents a significant shift in content consumption on the platform. The new feed caters to users seeking quick entertainment during brief moments of downtime, while also providing streamers with a new avenue to showcase their content to a wider audience.
Twitch's mobile app is getting a significant makeover that makes it look like a TikTok-like feed. The redesign aims to improve content discovery, making it enjoyable and more accessible for the over 50% of users who primarily watch on their phones to find new and beloved streamers. Along with the primary feed change, the new app features a Browse tab, an Activity tab, a Profile tab, and a Plus button for starting livestreams.
