TwitchCon San Diego is a wrap with over 30,000 attendees.
During the opening keynote, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy announced several updates to the platform:
🚀 Mobile App Evolution: As over 70% of new viewers access Twitch via mobile, Dan announced that improvements are coming. The app’s new updates will make it easier to find channels, enhance video play, and improve navigation. Thumbnails, better VOD access, and the ability to follow categories are also coming to the Following tab in October.
🎥 Clips Made Easier: A new Clip Carousel will let streamers share moments from their streams on social media. Mobile users can now create portrait clips, making it easier to capture those highlights.
💬 Shared Chat: (My personal fav) Collaborating creators can now merge their chats with up to 6 streamers, bringing their communities closer together. This feature will roll out next week, enhancing collaborations and fostering connections between streamers’ audiences.
⚖️ Improved Enforcement System: Twitch is giving more clarity on Chat violations, allowing creators to see the exact infraction and appeal if necessary. Strikes will also start expiring over time for low-severity violations, helping streamers avoid permanent penalties for minor infractions.
🌍 Globalizing Guilds: The Twitch Guild program, designed to foster growth and support among creators, will expand globally in 2025. This includes the Black Guild, Women’s Guild, Hispanic and Latin Guild, and the newly announced Pride Guild for the LGBTQIA+ community.
