Twitch is lifting its exclusivity agreement that prevented its partners from streaming on other services.
Starting today, partners can now stream on YouTube, Facebook Live and more, just not while streaming on Twitch at the same time.
Twitch clarified that it doesn’t allow simulcasting on web-based, Twitch-like services that support streaming for extended periods of time, such as YouTube and Facebook, because it believes that engaging with two streams at once can lead to a suboptimal experience for viewers.
The company, however, says it’s aware that some partners want to use other services to grow their community, so simulcasting on TikTok and Instagram Live is allowed.
