Ο Tom Verrilli, chief product officer του Twitchannounced some very important changes coming to the platform in 2023.
According to Verrilli, Twitch’s primary goal is to find new ways to increase revenue and subscribers for its creators. One of these will be Sound Bites, an audio notification tool that allows audiences to interact with each streamer for a fee. In addition, Twitch will experiment with channel sponsorships, with exclusive skins and clickable graphics – effects.
In addition, platform creators are expected to gain control over the ads that appear on their channel, both in terms of their duration and how they are displayed. Also, there will be several “smaller” updates, such as the addition of the Guest Star feature, which will enable more… professional multiple streams.
We will know more in the coming months. Until then, you can read Verrilli’s entire open letter, in which he talks about the changes coming to Twitch in 2023.
