> The second bit simply says "third party service"

The spirit of the terms seems to be they don't want combined chat, and are relying on the fact that most streamers are not going to develop their own chat combining software.

If people try to get past this on a technicality, expect them to revise the conditions.

You are correct.

A huge majority of streamers rely on overlays provided by either the companies Streamlabs or StreamElements for things like displaying a chat on their stream, among others.

There are multiple software packages to do this already.

Why are you commenting on something you clearly know nothing about?

People learn better when you give them the information they're lacking rather than snark at them for lacking it.

For the rest of us who also know nothing, could you expand on your thoughts? Information is much more interesting than an internet slap fight :)

I presumed there was. I interpret running someone elses software locally on your computer as "third party".

But, silly pedantry aside, my point still stands. It seems like Twitch doesn't want chats combined, regardless of the mechanism.
