Low Latency Video
This article provides information on the opt-in low latency video.In an effort on continuing to provide better interactivity between broadcasters and viewers we are beta testing a new low latency mode on an opt-in basis.
Lower latency is important if you want to have interactions with your viewers. The lower the latency, the more quickly viewers can see your response to their chat comments.
While you’re helping to test the low latency mode we’d love to hear your feedback and any concerns or issues you’re experiencing.
Normally there is a tradeoff between latency and playback buffering, where a decrease in latency can potentially cause more buffering during playback. This is because there is less video buffered on the playback device and any interruptions downloading the video data can cause the device to buffer (i.e. waiting to download more video data). In order to maintain high quality video playback in Low latency mode, we take into account each viewer’s network condition and only reduce latency if we can still provide a smooth playback experience for that user. This means viewers with good connections will see lower latency compared with viewers with constrained connections.

Twitch taking a step forward with Community Guidelines Update
Twitch take the first step in cleaning up the streaming community and try to move their platform away from the cam girl streamers and have also made moves against hateful conduct and harassment. Hopefully mixer, youtube and hitbox will follow these steps forward too.
Hey Twitch Community,
Last month we announced updates to Twitch’s Community Guidelines. You asked some insightful questions about what impact the changes will have. As we approach March 5th, the date when enforcement begins, we want to give you answers so that you feel confident that you have a complete understanding of the updates.
What does Twitch consider hateful conduct?
Hateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes, encourages, or facilitates discrimination, denigration, objectification, harassment, or violence based on the following characteristics, and is strictly prohibited:
- Race, ethnicity, or national origin
- Religion
- Sex, Gender, or Gender Identity
- Sexual Orientation
- Age
- Disability or Medical Condition
- Physical Characteristics
- Veteran Status
Twitch will consider a number of factors to determine the intent and context of any reported hateful conduct. You can read more on Twitch’s harassment and hateful conduct policies in our Learn More article.
