Popular live streaming platform Twitch has taken a new step to enrich user experience. After extensive testing, Twitch’s TikTok-style discovery feature is going live for all users. What will change?

Twitch is introducing a TikTok-style discovery feed feature

Twitch’s discovery feature will be available at the end of this month. This innovation will allow users to easily scroll through live broadcasts and clips on the Twitch mobile app.

Users will now be able to discover content individually and reach content they are interested in faster. Here are the features of the new discovery stream:

• Two separate discovery streams: Users will be able to navigate between two separate streams, ‘Live Broadcasts’ and ‘Clips.’ This distinction will help users find content more relevant to their interests.
• Interaction and accessibility: Users who want to interact more with the content they like can switch to theater mode by clicking on the broadcaster’s avatar. This mode further personalizes the viewing experience.
• Ad integration: According to Jess Sung, the discovery feature will include ads, but users will be able to skip these ads. This will ensure users have a seamless scrolling and viewing experience.

These new features are being positively received by Twitch users. Thanks to the innovations brought by the discovery stream, users will be able to access the content they are looking for much faster and more effectively. Moreover, the integration of ads without disrupting the user experience reinforces the platform’s user-friendly approach.

This strategic move by Twitch will keep the platform competitive in the continuously evolving digital media landscape and encourage users to spend more time on the platform. With these innovations, Twitch aims to meet user expectations and maintain its leadership as a live streaming platform.
