How is this different from twitch?
1 comments

I'm an avid Twitch user and it's such a different experience (as a host and as a viewer). The main difference is the content. Twitch is geared towards gaming and Stream is geared towards virtual events. Another is how broadcasts are portrayed. Twitch defaults to a public livestream that anyone can view. Stream intentionally adds another layer and gates the Zoom event for privacy.
Thank you for your interesting comments. What does it mean to have another layer?
