Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has confirmed that popular streamer Ninja has been given permission to livestream on multiple platforms at the same time. This move by Twitch opens up new possibilities for other streamers, as the company is working on adjusting its simulcasting policy to allow more users to do the same.
In a recent broadcast, Clancy stated that Ninja had obtained individual authorization, making him the first streamer on Twitch to have this privilege. While Twitch’s Terms of Service require written permission for simulcasting on similar platforms, Ninja has been granted this exception.
Ninja has been taking advantage of this opportunity by streaming simultaneously on Twitch, YouTube (with written permission), and TikTok. This allows him to reach a wider audience and expand his presence on different platforms.
With the rise of rival streaming platforms, Twitch’s decision to grant Ninja this permission suggests a potential shift in their approach. Rather than restricting their users, Twitch may be moving towards granting more freedom and flexibility to streamers in the future.
| Platform | Permission Required |
|---|---|
| Twitch | Written permission required for simulcasting on similar platforms |
| YouTube | Written permission required for simulcasting on similar platforms |
| TikTok | No written permission required for simulcasting |
