Re: Twitch Stream

Of course my company's firewall blocks twitch as a gaming site.

Re: Twitch Stream

It will be interesting getting this running well around our NYC dept of Ed Websense filtering. I like the twitch platform but i'm sure it will be an issue for a lot more teams doing kickoff from their schools. We're creative so I'm sure we will all find a way.

Also it's good to see Twitch is finally recognizing FIRST on a large scale instead of picking and choosing acceptable streams.
Quite the opposite from banning our 2015 NYC Regional stream mid day for "non gaming content" without further explanation despite reaching out multiple times

Twitch has changed a lot in that regard since 2015.

Now you have IRL, Creative, and Mukbang (communal eating), though I think you could use either of the first two for FRC.

2. Streams on Twitch can be tracked by their number of viewers. To make the front page by default, it takes about 10,000 viewers. Think we can make it happen?

Hype levels are reaching critical levels...
Realistically, kickoff isn't the best time to introduce a large crowd of spectators. With no gameplay to watch and little understanding of what you're dropping in on most people would tune out pretty quickly and be turned off.

It would still be exposure which is nice, but a live competition with commentary/video playback is likely much better for creating new fans of FRC.

There seems to be a second, closed-captioned stream. https://www.twitch.tv/firstinspires1

Are they actually not banning FIRST Streams now? I've been hesitant to use and/or promote Twitch streams at our event since our stream got taken down a few years back for the same reason.

The Non-Gaming Content bans, as far as I understood were an automatic 24-hour ban resulting from too many users flagging a page. Unfortunately Twitch has such slow support that the event would be over by the time anything could be done about it.

Does anyone know if Twitch has any sort of partner program that gives pages immunity from automatic bans like that? If they do it might be something for events to look into.

Re: Twitch Stream

@cbale2000

As mentioned earlier in the thread, Twitch now has categories for non-gaming content ("IRL," creative, and even eating). So no more fear of having non-gaming content banned.

And, yes, Twitch does have a partnership program. The FRC GameSense channel is partnered on Twitch. But partnership does not grant immunity from bans (AFAIK), although it does grant a bevy of different features (custom emotes, integrated subscription system, etc).

This is interesting...I was looking at the stream around 9:00 PM Pacific yesterday and the embed of firstinspires that I have on my team website was showing offline. I went to their Twitch page and they were "hosting firstinspires1." It looks like this is still happening. For reference, people can go to milkenknights.com/steamworks so see how the embed appears.

Re: Twitch Stream

Sean,
Those sections however have very strict guidelines. For example to not be banned for misusing IRL a person(the broadcaster) is required to be on camera
( https://help.twitch.tv/customer/port...672652-irl-faq)

Code:
A: IRL is specifically for vlog-inspired, interactive content. If you are unsure whether the content you want to share fits within IRL, please set your broadcast to Not Playing.
A: Yes, you must be actively interacting with your audience when streaming in the IRL category. Unlike a lifecast, you should be the focus, either as a visible part of the stream or through providing commentary.
And for creative, build site streams would definitely fit the requirements but I think competition streams wouldn't.
https://help.twitch.tv/customer/port...1-creative-faq
Code:
Electronic and robotic projects
Cooking and baking full recipes from scratch
Creative writing
Video editing
Photo editing
Programming and coding
Software and game development
Web development
Building custom PCs
So creative is more for the creating part of the season.

However, the fact the the partnership between FIRST and Twitch seems to be growing (since they are hosting the kickoff broadcast and had the Championship live stream hosted for 2016-and wasn even put on the front page) makes me hopeful they will either clarify under what section competitions can be streamed in or create an additional one that fits them.

At the same time I know the New England FIRST has two accounts and has been streaming their competitions on Twitch for at least 2 years which is why I made the picking and choosing comment. Now that they are opening up beyond just gaming(again) I think they will definitely try to accommodate the FIRST community and our traffic.

RoboSports Network (formerly GameSense) has been working with Twitch over the past year to help find a home for FIRST on Twitch. The Creative team at Twitch is very excited about FIRST, as it falls broadly in the same arena as the "Maker Movement" (ie, MakerFaire, cool tech stuff and hobbyist). While the competitions don't necessarily have the same direct link to creating things like robot-building does, continuity is important and it's still all part of the same process. I can't officially speak for Twitch, but from our communications, they're intending for Twitch Creative to be our home in the Twitch Community.

Yesterday when I was in the chat I noticed there was a twitch staff member (fix) in the chat.

[14:16] <fix> So excited PogChamp
[15:44] <nickmcski> wow a twitch staff member intrested in FRC?
[15:48] <nickmcski> I guess with FRC having so many members some would work at twitch. I just never expected to see a Twitch staff member in the chat 2 days before kickoff
[17:13] <fix> @Nickmcski Of course I love FRC!
[17:13] <fix> I'm an alum from Team 4 in Los Angeles
So worst case if the channel does get an automatic ban leading up to kickoff there will be at least one Twitch staff member in the chat.

PogChamp -- it's me!

Hey everyone, Zach here from Twitch. Just to give y'all a quick history, I'm an alum from Team 4 down in Los Angeles (2005-2009), went to LSU for Political Science, and joined Twitch on the Partnerships team about 18 months ago.

Sorry for taking so long to jump into this thread as I've been working pretty diligently since the holidays to get the kickoff specifics orchestrated and just landed in New Hampshire myself.

It seems like there's a lot of concern over the categorization and moderation of robotics content on Twitch, so let me say emphatically that both the creative portion (design/fabrication/assembly) and the competition are welcome on Twitch! If you're familiar with the history of Twitch (and Justin.tv), you know that there's been quite an evolution of content guidelines for the site. This developed out of a need to work closely with the community, both on the product and content fronts.

After joining Twitch and working in gaming for about 6 months, we officially launched Twitch Creative which greatly expanded the content allowed on the site. Pretty soon after, I reached out to GameSense who did an absolutely fantastic job at producing a live show at the Championship in St. Louis. As many of you have pointed out -- IRL was the most recent expansion which has even further broadened the content guidelines.

Basically, this has been the first few steps in an effort to #makeitloud -- Twitch's foundation is communities and I truly believe that FIRST & Twitch make a great alliance. As both an alum of the FRC program but also an audience member of Twitch before being an employee, I want to do what I can to make a positive impact on the community. I am here to listen to any feedback (positive and negative!), new ideas, or even help with any engineering/product development. Any thoughts of a way to make TwitchPlaysSTEAMworks happen?

Really excited to see the kickoff stream and hope to see some MrDestructoid in the chat.
