TwitchCon Las Vegas, the highly-anticipated event for gaming enthusiasts, is all set to kick off this week. In exciting news, Twitch has announced a brand new feature for its mobile app called “Stories”. This feature allows qualified users to post pictures, text messages, or clips that disappear after 48 hours, similar to the popular feature on other social media platforms.
The stories feature on Twitch will be prominently displayed at the top of the app for viewers to easily access. Currently, this feature is only available to affiliates and partners who have streamed in the last 30 days. However, Twitch has hinted that it may be expanded to include more users in the future, ensuring everyone gets to enjoy this new addition.
What sets Twitch’s stories apart from others is the ability for creators to utilize their channel emotes and create custom backgrounds for their stories. This enables them to add a unique touch to their content and engage with their viewers in a more personalized way. Creators can also create subscriber-only stories for those who have 30 or more subscribers, making it exclusive and rewarding for their loyal fanbase.
Keeping up with the latest trends, Twitch will provide analytics for stories, allowing creators to track the performance and engagement of their content. Additionally, viewers will receive notifications whenever a creator they follow posts a new story, ensuring they never miss out on any exciting updates.
Of course, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment is a top priority for Twitch. All content posted on stories will be held to the same community guidelines as other content on the platform. In case of any violations, users have the ability to report stories directly within the app, making it easier to maintain a positive and respectful community.
With its new stories feature, Twitch aims to enhance user engagement and provide an additional avenue for creators to connect with their audience. As the platform continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Twitch expands this feature and further revolutionizes the gaming community. So stay tuned and get ready to dive into this immersive world of stories, starting from TwitchCon Las Vegas and beyond!
