This year marks a major milestone for Twitch’s annual convention—TwitchCon is celebrating its 10th anniversary. To kick off this special event, the Twitch team held a keynote on Friday featuring several company leaders, including CEO Dan Clancy.
During the keynote, Clancy unveiled a series of exciting new features set to roll out on Twitch. One of the most anticipated additions is dual-format streaming, which will enhance how creators broadcast their content. Alongside this, Twitch announced upcoming support for streaming directly from Meta’s line of AI glasses, making it easier than ever to go live on the platform.
With this innovation, viewers will be able to catch streams whether they’re at home or on the move via the Twitch mobile app. Twitch plans to begin beta testing these capabilities as soon as next week, aiming for a smooth and accessible experience for all users.
Expanding into the world of AI streaming, Twitch is working closely with Meta to enable creators to stream live anytime directly from Meta’s AI glasses—provided they have a reliable internet connection. Integration of Meta AI glasses support into the Twitch mobile app is expected to launch in the coming months, opening up new possibilities for on-the-go content creation.
In addition to these tech-forward updates, TwitchCon 2023 brought several other noteworthy announcements aimed at supporting the streamer community. Twitch is simplifying the sponsorship process, making it easier for streamers to connect with brands. Medium-sized creators will now have the ability to run their own promotional campaigns, empowering them to grow their channels more effectively.
Twitch also revealed updates to its community guidelines to improve user experience. Minor infractions will no longer result in a complete ban from the platform, giving users more flexibility and a fairer approach to enforcement.
Moreover, new moderation roles are being introduced to help streamers better manage their communities. Streamers can now assign Lead Moderators who have the authority to add or remove other moderators at any time. Additionally, the new Agent role grants selected individuals access to a streamer’s analytics and financial information, providing valuable support behind the scenes.
With these announcements, Twitch is demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation and community growth as it celebrates a decade of TwitchCon. The coming months promise exciting developments that will enhance how creators and viewers connect on the platform.
