Hi everyone
So I am very interested in starting streaming on Mixer (for those of you who do not know what Mixer is, google it)
I have been closely watching the moves they are making to slowly start breaking into the Live streaming platform game and they are making some big moves by buying up huge streamers from twitch. They are a Microsoft company and obviously have a lot of money in order to be serious about this fight vs Twitch.
Currently there is 0 chess being streamed on mixer, which either means it has no chance or you can see this as a chance for us as Lichess (note chess.com streamers cannot stream on mixer because chess.com has a partnership with twitch) streamers to start our own chess community on mixer. If they are going to grow and eventually rival twitch then now is a great time to jump in and get the ball rolling.
That being said, the only real way we can even consider this attempt at moving over to mixer is if Lichess makes it a platform we can stream to (being able to still be featured on the front page of Lichess, but actually be streaming via mixer).
Now of course naturally Lichess has 0 incentive (and rightfully so) to put in the effort and work to give us this option if there is no chess on mixer etc.
So my question to you guys as streamers and viewers are what do you think of this idea of starting our own streaming community on mixer?
P.S. Pay attention to all the extra features you guys as viewers have of interacting and supporting the streamers on mixer absolutely for free by just being an active viewers. Also note that Mixers servers are a lot better, so for those of you who struggle to stream on twitch (quality wise) might find a much better experience on mixer.
