Twitch shuts down feature because nobody used it TwitchTwitch is getting rid of a feature that has been in testing for a few months, simply because no one has been using it. While Twitch remains the go-to platform for streamers, the Amazon-owned platform does face tough competition from a few challengers. YouTube and Kick have both signed big names, and Rumble has also been making a few waves. That competition, and subsequent demands from users for them to up their game, has prompted Twitch to make a fair few changes over the last few years. Naturally, other platforms, and streamers who\u2019ve moved over there, have been trying to follow in Twitch\u2019s footsteps with a few things. Some YouTube streamers have been demanding a better directory page, while Kick streamers were desperate for clips off the bat. However, there\u2019s probably one feature they won\u2019t be following, and that\u2019s Community Moments. Twitch is getting rid of Community Moments If you\u2019ve watched a big Twitch stream over the past few months, you\u2019ve probably been granted a Community Moment badge and clip at some point. The chat typically fills up with jokes about NFTs too. Well, they\u2019re being done away with, simply on the basis that they haven\u2019t become as widespread as Twitch probably planned. \u201cWe\u2019ve made the decision to shut down the Community Moments beta on October 5, 2023 due to limited use from the Twitch community,\u201d Twitch tweeted on August 31. \u201cThis will allow us to focus on developing features that bring value to more streamers and their communities in the future.\u201d A number of prominent streamers, including Esfand, stated that barely anyone had access to it, so there\u2019s no surprise that it had \u201climited use\u201d across channels. Some creators have already urged Twitch to bring it back and open up access for others, but that seems a little farfetched now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
