Shroud reveals the one thing he misses most about streaming on Mixer Twitch: shroud \/ MicrosoftMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has been back on Twitch for a few months now following the shutdown of Mixer, though it\u2019s clear he still misses one key thing from his days on the Microsoft-owned platform. [jwplayer mfcRpjb4] With the shocking end of Mixer back in June, shroud was left with a hugely important choice. Should he return to Twitch where he first came up or should he venture to another new livestreaming platform? The answer was always \u201cobvious.\u201d After shattering expectations with his return stream, shroud has settled comfortably back with the purple brand. Other high-profile Mixer streamers such as Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins also made the jump back as well. Though is there anything the world\u2019s most popular content creators miss from their previous home? Despite claiming that \u201cTwitch is the best,\u201d there\u2019s one major aspect that shroud believes they\u2019re missing the mark on: bitrate. While chatting with viewers in a recent stream, he mentioned how most of the tools on Twitch go right over his head. \u201cStreaming is streaming,\u201d he joked. \u201cMixer didn\u2019t have a lot of tools which kind of sucked. Twitch has all of the tools. \u201cThey have a lot of stuff that Mixer didn\u2019t have, but I never used that stuff anyways\u2026 I just stream.\u201d As a specific example, shroud still uses Straw Poll to engage his viewers, rather than using the poll system available directly on Twitch. Clearly, the difference in features across Twitch today and what Mixer used to provide isn\u2019t a huge concern. However, he was quick to point out the one thing he truly misses from his time with the Microsoft-owned platform. \u201cThe bitrate\u2026 I miss it.\u201d \u201cMaybe Twitch will get there soon,\u201d he followed up. \u201cFingers crossed. Twitch is a much bigger platform so we\u2019ll see. I mean, if YouTube can do it\u2026 I\u2019m just saying.\u201d The relevant topic begins at the 8:08 mark. In the simplest terms, bitrate impacts the overall quality of any given stream. The higher the bitrate, the higher the quality of your stream. Twitch currently offers a maximum of 6,000kbps for 1080p streaming, whereas Mixer used to offer up to 10,000kbps for a much higher quality. Being one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, this improvement could soon be on the way. It\u2019s clear shroud would be one of the first content creators to take advantage of any new bitrate adjustments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
