However for those not in attendance Twitch Support on Twitter also confirmed the news. \u201cWe\u2019ve announced that you can simulcast on ANY live streaming service,\u201d said Twitch Support. The Twitch guidelines have now been officially updated in support of this new ruling. While streamers are now able to stream freely wherever, there are still rules that the streamers have to adhere to on Twitch\u2019s end. \u201cIn line with a coming change to our Terms of Service, we are now allowing you to simulcast on any service,\u201d said Twitch. \u201cWe believe in giving you the freedom to simultaneously stream on other services, but we also want to ensure that the Twitch user experience is not compromised.\u201d The simulcasting guidelines are as follows: You ensure that the quality of Twitch users\u2019 experience of your Simulcast is, at a minimum, no less than the experience on other platforms or services, including by your engagement with the Twitch community, for example, via chat. – You should not provide links, or otherwise direct your community, to leave Twitch for your simulcast on other services because we value the community on Twitch and the integral role community engagement plays for all Twitch users. – You do not use third-party services that combine activity from other platforms or services on your Twitch stream during your Simulcast, such as merging chat or other features, to ensure the Twitch community is included in the entirety of the experience of your livestream. – For more news and other viral Twitch stories, head over to check out our coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
