What does it mean 'Twitch will let them'? Is this some new feature in their software? Or were streamers actually forbidden to stream on several platforms at once by some contract?
- bakugo 3y agoTwitch partners were forbidden from doing it by their contract, yes.
- corobo 3y agoAye, the rule before this change is in the terms as: > 11. Simulcasting > When you are streaming live on the Twitch Services you may not simultaneously live stream or broadcast (“Simulcast”) on any other “Twitch-like Service,” meaning any web-based network, platform, or service that supports live streaming of user generated content, without advance written permission from Twitch. For clarity, you may Simulcast on mobile-first services that support live streaming. This Section does not apply to non-profit or government entities that are live streaming for non-commercial purposes. Twitch-like being YouTube, Kick, and similars. Mobile first being Tiktok, Instagram, etc - vertical/portrait resolution https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/terms-of-service/#11-simulcasting https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/terms-of-service/#11-simulc... I imagine this will be changing soon so for posterity https://archive.ph/Y3Vti#11-simulcasting https://archive.ph/Y3Vti#11-simulcasting
