The issue of not being able to broadcast from different platforms, which has been bothering the publishers who have made a deal with Twitch for a long time, has finally been resolved today. Twitch met the expectation in the past months in its announcement shared today, and gave its Twitch partners the right to broadcast on different platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.
With the e-mail sent to the publishers by Twitch, the publishers are no longer obliged to broadcast only on Twitch. Publishers will now be able to broadcast on the platforms they want. But ‘in some cases’ Twitch will also have the right to limit broadcasters at certain points.
It will not be possible to stream simultaneously with Twitch on YouTube and Facebook:
“From today on, you will now be allowed to create live content on other platforms,” Twitch emailed broadcasters. It started with statements. The platform acknowledged that publishers use different platforms to connect with their followers. There was an important condition for broadcasters to broadcast on different platforms: Broadcasts cannot be opened at the same time as broadcasts on Twitch. But there will be some flexibility and limitations in this as well.
Streamers will not be able to stream Twitch streams simultaneously on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. However, according to the statement, broadcasters will be able to simultaneously share their broadcasts on Twitch on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Live.
It is unknown when Twitch will bring other expected edits:
In the past months, it was claimed that some other regulations would be made together with the regulation made today. These regulations were listed as follows:
- Publishers will be able to post more ads.
- Revenue deduction for subscriptions at top publishers will be reduced from 70%/30% to 50%/50%.
- A new tier system will be introduced for subscriptions, criteria will be determined for accessing tiers (Details not provided).
It is not yet known when Twitch will put these regulations into effect.
