Twitch, the popular streaming platform, has introduced a new feature called video stories.
This comes after the success of their photo and text stories.
Streamers can now create or upload 60-second videos directly from the Twitch mobile app.
The purpose of this feature is to help streamers stay connected with their audience, even when they are not streaming live.
This is similar to the way people use Instagram Stories or TikTok to engage with their followers.
Streamers can use video stories to ask questions, run polls, thank new subscribers, share memorable clips, promote upcoming streams, or inform their audience about any schedule changes.
The concept of stories was first made popular by Snapchat, and it has since been adopted by major platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Twitch is now adding this feature to better compete with these platforms.
Although video stories were initially only available on the mobile app, Twitch has now made them accessible through its web app as well. This is important because most Twitch users watch content on the web version.
Twitch’s goal with this new feature is to keep streamers engaged on their platform, reducing their need to rely on other social media platforms.
However, top creators are still expected to use multiple platforms to reach their audience.
