The number one streaming platform for games has revealed a new studio app meant to make it easier for anyone to stream.
But why is Twitch building this Studio now?
“We know a lot of people want to stream but fail to start because it can be complicated. Twitch Studio improves the experience for new streamers by making it easier to get started, with guidance on how to setup your first stream.”
Since its founding in 2011, Twitch has grown to become the leading live streaming platform on the internet with 2.2 million daily broadcasters and 15 million viewers Twitch is by far the most popular streaming platform around, but recently competitors like YouTube Live, Facebook Video and Mixer have begun challenging them from the margins. Just last week top Twitch streamer Ninja announced that he’d signed an exclusive contract with Mixer. Only five days after this switch Ninja’s Mixer channel reached 1 million subscribers. Despite this, Twitch is still by far the biggest streaming platform with 72% of the over 3 billion total hours of viewership happening on Twitch compared to 19% on Youtube, 5% on Facebook and 3% on Mixer.
So who’s going to sign up for this Beta?
