xQc reveals how he got banned from streaming on YouTube Twitch: xQcOW \/ YoutubeFormer Overwatch League player F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel is incredibly popular on Twitch, but he has told his audience that he isn\u2019t allowed to stream on YouTube. xQc has transformed himself from an Overwatch professional into an entertaining variety streamer over the last 12 months. While he has had his fair share of controversies, his intense on-stream personality has led to many hilarious clips of him boiling over. While the majority of his fanbase is on Twitch, exploring other opportunities is something that streamers must do. However, according to xQc, there is one platform that he may never stream on \u2013 YouTube. During a September 2 stream, the Twitch star talked about why he doesn\u2019t use Google\u2019s website to share gameplay with his fans.

The former Overwatch League player didn\u2019t really go into much detail about why he was banned from YouTube, but it may have something to do with past controversies with him regarding toxicity. This comes at a time where many Twitch streamers are moving to rival platforms like Mixer on big exclusive contract deals. Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins made waves in the community with his multi-million dollar move to the Microsoft-owned platform, and competition is heating up for streaming websites to keep their biggest stars.

Having a streamer like that exclusive to a platform can draw a lot of traffic that otherwise wouldn\u2019t come over, and they might watch other content creators on the website, too. YouTube Gaming itself doesn\u2019t have a massive following in terms of streamers, with a report in January 2019 showing that 22,000 streamers used the platform, compared to Twitch\u2019s 63,700. The market for YouTube streaming is also vastly different compared to Twitch, with mobile games being a lot more common. While YouTube is out of the equation for a new platform for xQc, there are plenty of other platforms that he could stream on, including Mixer, Caffeine, or another one of Twitch\u2019s rivals. Twitch might not be too happy about that though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
