Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has published an open letter detailing the company’s plans for 2025, including new ways of collaborating, mobile improvements, and more monetisation.
After thanking the streaming community for an “amazing” 2024 – “More than ever, in today’s world, we all want and need to find belonging and connection with other people,” said Clancy – the CEO listed new tools and opportunities for streamers, as well as new ways of building connection.
Collaboration is a “core part of Twitch”, so following the Stream Together feature added last year, the company is working on shared hype trains and shared sub goals to drive revenue collaboratively. In addition, shared chat will be manageable in the mobile app for IRL streamers.
Speaking of mobile, last year Twitch re-launched its mobile app (as announced at TwitchCon Europe), adding a Discovery Feed to find streamers based on recommendations. This year it will continue to revise the app, adding the ability to stream in both landscape and vertical video, and investing in the feed to aid discovery. Clips – short videos of a streamer’s best moments – will also be easier to edit.
