"Innovative live-streaming space"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Twitch?

Twitch is an innovative live-streaming space that allows users to come up with innovative ideas that can be implemented into either my personal stream or my organization. Kick, Rumble, and Youtube have never worked for me as well as Twitch has. I believe Twitch owned by Amazon is the fairest to its workers. Also, Kick has ties with gambling Casino Stake which makes me question the credibility of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitch?

I dislike the strict community guidelines implemented by Twitch that cause users to not feel comfortable acting how they think. Also, the ban system is not consistent and does not follow a consistent guideline so many streamers over-think every little thing because they are scared about being banned rather than enjoying the stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Twitch is giving the Generation Z business club a staff badge so we can appear more authentic. Also, in order to maximize productivity, I want to have a personal project which would be my own Twitch stream where I will cover political coverage, video games, and react-to videos. Within my own Twitch stream, because of my knowledge of the entrepreneurial realm with a unique leftist perspective, if given a staff badge, I would be able to get more attention in other chats and thus pull people in towards the business.

"It is user friendly to use"

4/5

What do you like best about Twitch?

Twitch offers several robust features that make it one of the best live-streaming platforms. We compiled a list highlighting some of the most notable features. Viewership engagement: Viewers can interact with any streamer, provided the permissions are set, any time they are streaming through live chat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitch?

Despite its strong position in the world of online video gaming, Twitch faces some weaknesses. User interface issues, such as poor search functionality and discoverability, limit the platform's ability to cater to a more general audience outside of its loyal gaming community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Twitch is a popular service, and there’s a good reason Amazon paid nearly $1 billion for it. But as a streamer and viewer, I’ve come to realize it’s not perfect; there are lots of problems, actually.

It’s not an exaggeration to say Twitch is largely responsible for popularizing (and democratizing) the live streaming of games. It wasn’t long ago that spitting live video onto the Internet was the domain of production studios with millions of dollars in equipment. Now, it all happens with the click of a button, whether you’re sitting at a PC or PlayStation 4. It’s incredibly simple, and it’s led to a paradigm shift in the way games are talked about, especially after they’re released. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamer Life"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Twitch?

They allow you to stream your favorite games, content, music, and other modes of communication through a platform that is easy to use. Their user platform for streamers is helpful when you are just starting and you can mold your stream to make it as easy or as detailed as you'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitch?

There are many third parties needed to utilize in order to make your stream something that is unique and better for your audience. There are some technical glitches that could be worked through when it comes to Twitch Prime utilization. It could also be better for the mobile/phone app user to be able to subscribe via Twitch Prime and the chat function/mobility could be better on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
