I thought this was already prohibited by Twitch and conversely YouTube Live?

Will this change actually affect any existing Twitch streamer practices?

Banned for twitch partners. So it won't affect major streamers, but smaller ones yes.
Note that being a twitch partner doesn't give you monetary benefits or a better share from bits (one-time-"donations") or subscriptions. It only gives the streamer/community a verified profile and more emojis. So perhaps some more visibility on the start page but that's it.
Ah, okay. I didn’t realize that was the distinction. Thanks!
The big music streamers will often stream on Twitch, Instagram, and FB all at once. Looks like Instagram is fine but FB has a desktop client and may not be allowed.
TIL. Thanks!
