Twitch Weekly Q&A Summary
- “What are some aspects that make a successful Twitch team?”
The point of a team is to help everyone out. It’s a joint effort, and feels more like a family than a team. Figure out how you’re going to work together — will you host each together? Have a good schedule that works well together?
Make sure you also have a place to discuss your plans, and play with your team if you can!
- “ Is there a Twitch Booth at South by Southwest”
Nope, but there is presence there as Twitch is a sponsor.
- “What’s going to be at TwitchCon”
Watch the Twitch Town Hall VOD!– there’s some information there!
- “What qualities are you looking for, for partners in Partner Spotlights?”
There’s a lot of things, but some things include interactivity, community interaction, Twitch representation, frequency.. Things that show you can retain this growth, but also ensure when you’re on the front of the stream, you’re a good representation to Twitch
Closing Thoughts!
Sunday 4PM PST — DatHass. Watch Atrioc win or lose in League :D!
A very full week — have an awesome Twitch filled weekend!
