Twitch is a leading live streaming platform primarily focused on video games, esports, and interactive entertainment, launched in 2011 as a spin-off from Justin.tv by founders Justin Kan and Emmett Shear.
Acquired by Amazon in 2014 for $970 million, it hosts millions of daily broadcasters and viewers engaging in real-time chats, subscriptions, bits, and raids across gaming, music, art, talk shows, and creative content.
Headquartered in San Francisco with global reach, Twitch fosters communities through tools like clips, extensions, and events such as TwitchCon, generating revenue via ads, partnerships, and premium features while emphasizing creator support and moderation.
