kensonplays Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It's a brand new platform that's planning to release this summer. They are hoping to bring back the Mixer vibes and feel with their platform, which should be out in the next 2-3 months (by Summer end roughly). I've had the opportunity to be invited to their invite-only streaming (in alpha, must be invited to stream TO it, but anyone can join and watch), and I must say, it has a TON of potential. It has low latency, threaded replies to help keep track of conversations in chat, and more to come as they go from alpha to open beta this summer!

Shortie Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I had heard about this through a former Mixer partner that I knew when Mixer was still around and I have an account on there. I will admit, it is looking like it does have a lot of potential and it will be interesting to see what they bring to the table. Kick seems to be showing a lot of potential at the moment as well and is growing fore sure so that is going to be interesting to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some things I didn't like seeing, like crypto gambling and stuff, so I couldn't re-register since the name isn't available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about about how it's been growing recently with what's been going on with Twitch.

As for SharePlay, I'm definitely going to make out time and watch when the show starts before I would draw my conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are able to turn off being able to see these in your settings if that helps 🙂 you can turn off gambling and also hot tub streams as well which I think is great. I have made use of this option and I feel a lot better for it now 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true. This is an option I believe many were crying out for on Twitch so that they could hide sections that they were not interested in but Twitch never implemented it which was a shame. It's great to see that Kick has thought about this and what the community want and implemented it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
