Media company instantly gets banned from Twitch after disaster stream LeLive\/TwitchThe launch of French media company Webedia\u2019s LeLive program didn\u2019t go to plan, as the Twitch channel was plagued with problems before it found itself being banned after only a few hours. The LeLive launch kicked off on Monday, February 3 as Webedia looks to expand its online presence by adding to a brand-new Twitch program for younger viewers on their pre-existing YouTube, Dailymotion, Mixer, Molotov TV, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook channels. The program is supposed to offer evening streaming \u2013 kicking off at 5PM CET and running through until midnight. Guests who have made their name from content creation, being an influencer, or just a general celebrity are getting involved. Yet, their arrival on Twitch is going to have to wait. During the launch stream on February 3, the stream was only a few minutes old when one of the presenters, Kevin Razy, walked onto the stream and struck up a conversation with some of his other hosts. However, when referencing \u201cYouTube money\u201d in their talk, Razy dropped a racial slur immediately after. While the full broadcast of the stream has since been deleted and isn\u2019t available anyway, some viewers were able to quickly capture the clip and re-publish. In the aftermath, though, the channel has found itself banned \u2013 seemingly because it had been reported due to the use of a slur.

(@Dr_Wasabii) February 3, 2020 With the channel being struck down by Twitch, some jokesters stepped in and took over the official name with demands of \u20ac5,000 to hand it back over. Even when they were online and broadcasting though, it wasn\u2019t like LeLive had the smoothest of streams to begin with. Fans on Twitter and in Twitch chat complained about issues with sound delays and other glitches. The channel did manage to get them figured out just before they got banned, however.

Fans will still be able to check it out on the likes of YouTube, Mixer, and Facebook, but whether or not they\u2019ll be able to return to Twitch anytime soon still remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
