Using Twitch to Live Stream Your Events

Advantages of Live Streaming on Twitch

There are several ways Twitch and its vast audience can help your business. Initially, Twitch.tv live streaming service almost exclusively catered to gamers, and the majority of the content was in that niche. The growth of the platform attracted other content creators and businesses that wanted to reach out to people, especially millennials.

Nowadays, the majority of the content on Twitch is still gaming-related, but around 40% of all content belongs to other content niches and businesses. Getting started on Twitch is easy and requires less investment than traditional live streaming platforms, making it very appealing to businesses on a budget.

If your business has a younger target audience looking for interactive ways to connect with products, services, and brands that interest them, then Twitch is the way to go.

Disadvantages of Live Streaming on Twitch

Twitch does have some downsides. Mainly, it might not be an ideal place for certain business sectors, since the audience is just not there. You will hardly see any legal or medical content and live streams on Twitch. It also requires creative marketing strategies to keep an audience engaged, well-known as they are for their short attention spans.

Another potential issue comes with simultaneous streaming across many platforms. If your business becomes a Twitch Partner, Twitch.tv live streaming events might be exclusive to the platform for some time (24 hours or more), making it impossible to live stream the event on other platforms as well.
