Connections

Twitch is a popular online service for watching and streaming digital video broadcasts. When it was founded in 2011, Twitch originally focused almost entirely on video games but has since expanded to include streams dedicated to artwork creation, music, talk shows, and the occasional TV series.

The streaming service boasts over 2 million unique streamers every month and more than 17 thousand of these users earn money through the Twitch Partner program, a service that provides streamers with added features such as paid subscriptions and ad placements.

Twitch was purchased by Amazon in 2014 and it remains one of the highest sources of internet traffic in North America.

Discord is a free voice, video and text chat app for teens and adults ages 13 and up. It was created to bring people together through a love of gaming. Teens can access Discord via their PC, browser, or mobile phone. Once there, they can join a chat that has been created on a private server and invite their friends to play and discuss games by voice, text or video. They can also message each other individually or in group chats with up to ten other friends.

Discord is different than other social platforms like Twitter or Reddit, in that people come to Discord to build private, invite-only groups. All conversations are opt-in, so anyone not interested in chatting do not have to do so.

This is one of the primary modes of communication in the competition eSPORT gaming world.

From BEAM to MIXER

What began as a simple idea for how we could improve the streaming experience grew into a whole community of people coming together to make an impact on the world. We started with the name Beam because we wanted to bring you the most cutting edge technology, and we did with our Faster Than Light latency. As Beam, we worked with our streamers to build an inclusive community and a pipeline that has changed the pace of the streaming spheres all around us. We’re proud of what we built together!

Now as Mixer, we will continue to lead the industry with community-first features, focusing on enhancing the experience for viewers and streamers all over the world. Mixer life is all about bringing friends together for a great time. You in?
