Twitch's Bold Move: Introducing Exciting New Features!

Highlights

Twitch is removing the Community Moments feature from its platform due to limited user usage, which has sparked controversy among fans.

The feature allowing viewers to create default clips of memorable moments was introduced in the latest Beta version but will be revoked in October.

Numerous Twitch users, including content creators, express their disappointment over the removal of this feature and argue that Twitch should have enhanced it instead of discontinuing it.

Twitch has announced that it will be discontinuing the Community Moments feature due to limited usage by its userbase. According to Twitch, this feature will be removed from the streaming platform in early October. Fans have expressed their opinions on this controversial change. Throughout the year, Twitch has implemented various changes on its streaming platform, including a new restriction for blocked users and the distribution of other features through Beta versions. The Community Moments function was one of these features, allowing viewers to generate a default Clip of a memorable moment through a chat command or special button. This feature rewarded viewers with a special badge. However, Twitch has decided to roll back this feature and it will no longer be available starting October.

Twitch's official Twitter account recently announced the discontinuation of the Community Moments beta due to its limited usage. As of October 5, 2023, this feature will no longer be accessible. However, participants will be allowed to keep any Twitch badges they have earned. Unfortunately, Twitch streamers will no longer have the ability to create new moments as the "Community Moments" tab will be removed.

The decision to remove this feature has received criticism, particularly from content creators who enjoyed using it. They expressed their disappointment, stating that their communities greatly appreciated the feature and hoped for its expansion rather than its removal. It was also pointed out that the moments feature was only available to a select few, limiting other communities from trying it out. The removal of this feature is seen by many as creating a fear of missing out within the community.

Following Twitch's announcement about discontinuing moments, a user on the Twitch user voice suggestions page swiftly posted a request to Keep Moments. As of now, this suggestion has received support from 2227 individuals. Numerous Twitch content creators have also urged the platform to extend this feature to a wider user base, enabling more communities to benefit from its usefulness. Only time will reveal whether this feature will remain intact or be eliminated from Twitch's offerings.
