Twitch rule-breakers, rejoice: Targeted enforcement will replace blanket bans

Twitch, the popular live-streaming platform, announced several updates and changes at its 10th TwitchCon event. The most significant change is the company's shift from blanket bans to targeted enforcement for rule violations. This means that a chat violation may not affect a user's ability to stream, or vice versa. Additionally, Twitch is introducing a beta rollout of dual-format streaming, allowing streamers to go live in both vertical and horizontal views simultaneously. The platform is also integrating with Meta's AI glasses, enabling Twitch live-streaming support within the next few months. Streamers will be pleased to learn that Twitch is increasing the number of sponsorship deals on the platform, as the company reports growing advertiser enthusiasm for Twitch streamers. These new monetization opportunities will be rolled out to all monetizing streamers, including affiliates, in the coming months. The article also mentions the introduction of a new feature called Auto Clips, which automates the creation of highlight clips for streamers. TwitchCon 2022 is currently underway in San Diego and runs through this Sunday.
