Key notes

Twitch is the world’s biggest destination for live video game broadcasts, attracting well over 100 million unique monthly viewers who use up to 20 billion minutes of gaming content monthly.

However, the service isn’t just for watching as it boasts more than 2 million broadcasters monthly, small or big, who stream any and every game they can and anyone can get in on the fun.

The Xbox One has built-in streaming capabilities, so you can get to peek into other people’s channels, watch them play and make things, and just be fascinated by the whole experience. The most rewarding part is exploring and playing with the tool sets used by streamers.
