Twitch is a popular live streaming service used by gamers across the globe. Gamers livestream their gameplay on Twitch for other users to watch. This platform is also used by several eSports competition organizers, content creators, and professionals. The service primarily competes against YouTube Gaming and Facebook Live. Although Twitch is mainly used by gamers, other content creators also use the platform to stream non-gaming content.
