Q&A Time
“What are your plans this year for @TwitchESports?”
“Are you going to implement a feature to allow people to watch multiple streams and chats simultaneously?”
“Is specialised streaming software required, or can embedded PS4 and XboxOne software grow an audience alone?”
“What happened to the free sub to /twitch, and what happened to the emotes?” #DiscoKappa “What is one good piece of advice you can give any streamer?”
Closing Thoughts
Tomorrow Twitch will donate $50 for every 1k peak concurrent viewership on #AGDQ2015, so remember to tune in!
