\u201cJust Chatting streams are different from video game streams and they are a lot more dependent on engaging and interacting with communities,\u201d said Forrester. \u201cBecause of this, we spun up a group last year to specifically look at what features and tools we could build for Just Chatting creators to make interacting with their community and the content they produce easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This, he added, is just the beginning where Just Chatting-specific features are concerned. That said, Twitch does not plan to leave creators who focus on video games \u2014 still the platform’s bread and butter in aggregate \u2014 out in the cold. Forrester also does not believe the distinction between gaming creators and Just Chatting creators is as meaningful as some make it out to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt’s important to remember that gaming creators are also producing Just Chatting content on a regular basis,\u201d he said. \u201cAll the features we’re investigating are centered [on] making it easier for creators to engage, interact and solicit input from their community, and we believe that both gaming and Just Chatting creators will benefit from them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
