Here we can see, “How to Watch Twitch on Roku”
What is Twitch?
Twitch is a gaming-focused live-streaming network. Non-gamers may not understand the allure of watching other people play video games, yet Twitch is enormously popular, with 15 million viewers every day.
Twitch focuses primarily on video games. Users can watch other people play games, engage with other viewers, or broadcast their gameplay live to the rest of the globe. Various games are streamed, including Fortnite, Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends, and Grand Theft Auto V, among the most popular.
Subscriptions and Twitch collaborations are other ways for streamers to make money. ‘Ninja,’ the platform’s biggest star, has over 11 million followers and is said to earn over $500,000 every month.
