Simulcasting Policy Update: A Game-Changer for Twitch Streamers

Tim Price

TwitchCon Las Vegas may be over, but the buzz surrounding one particular change is still going strong. Popular streamer MoistCr1TiKaL has introduced an update to Twitch’s simulcasting policy, giving content creators a newfound sense of freedom and calling it a “game-changer.”

In a video titled “Actually Huge Twitch W,” MoistCr1TiKaL expressed his overwhelmingly positive thoughts on this breakthrough, stating, “We are witnessing history. I feel like one of those people who took the first manned airplane flight, where you know what you have just experienced is a game-changer.”

The 29-year-old streamer admitted that he initially believed Twitch would not budge from its stricter ruleset. However, this shift is truly commendable and something the company can be proud of.

For those unfamiliar with the term, simulcasting refers to streaming the same content on two different platforms simultaneously. Twitch’s stance on this useful tool for reaching wider audiences has been unclear for a long time. While everyday users were relatively indifferent, partners were discouraged from simulcasting due to their contractual obligations.

In June 2023, Twitch implemented a comprehensive ban on simulcasting, except for mobile platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This decision was met with widespread disapproval.

However, CEO Dan Clancy and his team have now reversed this highly unpopular decision. Clancy himself announced the legalization of simulcasting during his keynote speech on the AREA15 mainstage. There are a few conditions attached to this change. Streamers are not allowed to direct their community to other sites or publicly display combined chats/activities. Additionally, the quality of the stream must not be compromised, although this requirement seems redundant as viewers naturally expect a good viewing experience.

There is little room for argument here. Twitch’s simulcasting ban played a significant role in the rise of its controversial rival, Kick. Clancy, who took charge in March of this year, can mend relationships with many disgruntled entertainers by demonstrating humility.

One of the most high-profile departures from Twitch was Ninja, who joined Kick shortly after the simulcasting ban was implemented. Whether he regrets that decision now is uncertain. In response to the news, he simply shared a smiley face when reposting the announcement on Twitter.
