Good news for gamers… Twitch has announced that is lifting its exclusivity agreement that prevented users to stream on other platforms. In an email, the company said users can now stream on YouTube, Facebook LIVE and more, however not while streaming on Twitch at the same time.
The company wrote in an email that: “When we first developed the Partner Program, we felt it was important for streamers to focus solely on Twitch for live-streaming to build their communities.”
“We still believe that Twitch is the best place for creators to build and engage with the community. We also recognise that the digital landscape has changed since we first introduced the Partner Program and that many of you engage with your communities in many different places. So, we are updating our policy.”
The gaming giant confirmed that users can simulcast on TikTok and Instagram Live.
Twitch is also asking partners to reach out if they are unable to view their agreement or are unsure if this change applies to them, in one of their FAQs.
