Twitch Streaming

Twitch is a streaming platform which was originally established to focus on video game live streaming, though it later included more types of streams such as In Real Life (IRL). It was created in 2011 and was meant only as a spin-off to Justin.tv, but later staff decided to focus all of their efforts towards Twitch due to the growing interest in video game streaming. As of 2018, the platform has over 2.2 million broadcasters monthly, and over 15 million daily users.
