What is Twitch?
Overview of Twitch
Twitch is a live streaming platform originally geared towards gamers that launched in 2011. Since then, it has amassed millions of users, with a total of 3.8 million unique broadcasters as of February 2020. Twitch offers gamers — or anyone interested in lifestyle casting about other subjects like food or music — the ability to stream their activity and let others watch in real-time. Streams can last anywhere from a minute to eight-hours and beyond. You can find a stream by browsing various categories, including specific games. If you find a streamer you like, you can follow their channel and get activity updates and notifications. Since launching, Twitch has partnered with gaming companies like Blizzard Entertainment and Overwatch League to host worldwide gaming and esports events exclusive to the platform.
How Twitch Works
When you watch a live stream or "broadcast," a split-screen display will allow you to see what the streamer sees on their monitor. But you'll also be able to hear and see them play through a smaller window on the edge of their stream. Twitch also allows users to purchase games through links on streams, with streamers receiving sales commissions, as well as the opportunity to sell products associated with their streams using affiliate links. While viewing a Twitch stream, you can comment alongside other viewers, and depending on the channel, you may be able to do things like make suggestions or ask questions and receive real-time answers. Twitch also saves streams, so you'll have the option to watch previously streamed gameplay or shows. The company has launched iOS and Android apps so users can get all the same content — from people to channels — alongside a host of mobile-friendly features wherever they are. Twitch offers subscriptions for those who find themselves getting more invested, with three tiers, ranging from $4.99 to $24.99 a month. Subscriptions allow you to support your favorite streamer and grant you the ability to watch a channel ad-free and access other perks, like emotes or chat badges. Emotes are exclusive emojis that let you show your support for a streamer, while chat badges help identify the user you are — from a broadcaster to a VIP. Other badges can be purchased that let you show off your support for specific streamers or interests. Twitch Prime is another subscription option, though it must be manually instead of automatically renewed each month. It gives you access to additional games and exclusive in-game content, with a bonus channel subscription every month at no additional cost, a member-only chat, more broadcast storage, and more.

Note that there is a levy of 5% Twitch withholds on payouts. There are also conversion rates as the funds transfer from the US to the channel owner's accounts in Australia. Note that from your channel contributions, Twitch takes a 50% cut from all subscriptions. Twitch pays out to streamers on the 15th of each month if the amount ready is over $100 USD. Physical revenue received by Nova Roma through the Twitch channel can be read from the annual Provincia Australia governor reports. Presently the channel owner donates 30% revenue to Nova Roma Inc. and donates the remainder 70% to the Provincia Australia Nova Roma treasury. This donation split will change as more revenue is generated by the channel.
