#TWITCH REWIND TRIAL#

In addition, disabling VODs will also remove the rewind option for the channel. This way, viewers can check what they missed while also keeping an eye on the live version, instead of always having to catch up and ending up watching on a delayed timeline. Moreover, the current livestream will continue playing as a picture-in-picture while watching the older segments. Users can then rewatch those moments at various playback speeds. Rewinding pushes the stream back to two minutes ago. Still, a rewind button could end up being a good thing for Twitch. Of course, no rewinds help make the Twitch experience unique and the livestreams even more enticing to tune in to-so that you don’t miss a single thing. Even then, the audience may find that clips and VODs are not the easiest to use if they’re searching for one particular moment.

In cases where viewers tune out or step away for some time, they might not have the opportunity to watch those moments again, especially if the streamers don’t end up putting the VODs up after the live. An estimated 26.5 million visitors came to Twitch daily in 2020, watching over 90 billion minutes per month on average.īut one feature does separate it from some other sites: a lack of a rewind button for livestreams.

Twitch is arguably the largest streaming platform out there, and even with other sites like YouTube and Facebook Gaming gradually becoming more popular, it has still retained its impressive numbers. The streaming community can try out the new feature for about a month, as announced via the Twitch Support Twitter page on Thursday.
