Twitch did something today! They updated their Simulcasting Policy so you can now (multi)stream on any other platform too, without having to worry about getting banned, BUT they want you to limit everything you do in a way that multistreaming becomes a pain in the ass.👏🤡
For real... thats a bad joke and especially things like not combining chats will inevitably result in a worse experience (let me tell you that as someone who streams to four different platforms at the same time). What they are actually saying is that you are allowed to broadcast your Twitch stream to other platforms - nothing more. Basically just advertising your Twitch stream on other platforms.
So people who want to interact with you have to go on Twitch to do so. And the second point with the links looks to me like restricting links to Linktrees/Carrds (like anti OF) that link to other sites, so every viewer on Twitch has it as hard as possible to switch platforms.
Hey @Twitch if you really care about quality, how about you enable 8Mbps for everyone (like other platforms) and get your technicians asses up to work on AV1 support asap, so you can increase quality while keeping bitrates low? Crazy ideas... i know. 🤪
