Live-streaming service Twitch (NASDAQ:AMZN) will let its partners stream media to other services including YouTube (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Facebook Live (META), according to The Verge.
That's a loosening of what had been a longtime exclusivity arrangement. Twitch mailed streamers "Starting today, you are now allowed to create live content on other platforms," according to the report.

There are still a few limits on "Twitch-like" platforms: Partners can't broadcast their streams over to YouTube or Facebook for "extended periods of time" - Twitch says "We believe engaging with two streams at once can lead to a sub-optimal experience for your community" - but simulcasting to mobile services like TikTok (BDNCE) and Instagram Live (META) is OK.
