Twitch Desktop App
All your favorite communities, friends, and games, all in one place.​

Servers

• A virtual home for your community to chat, watch, and play with fully customizable text and voice rooms. Attach your Twitch channel to your server so your community can watch live and use Twitch Chat right within the app.

Friends and Messaging

• Friend Sync quickly imports all your friends and games you follow. So you can spend less time herding cats, and more time, chatting, video messaging, and playing together.

Voice and Video Calls

• Crystal-clear voice calls whether between one or two friends or an entire raid group. Start a call with anyone by sending an instant invite link to chat.
• Or hang out face-to-face with your nearest and dearest friends, subs, and teammates with video calls. Up to five people can chat together in beautiful HD. Screen-sharing is also a breeze.

Addons and Overlays

• Find, install, and manage addons for your favorite games directly within the app. And coming soon, cloud storage makes it super easy to carry your settings over across multiple machines.
• You can also enable in-game overlays to manage your voice and video calls without alt-tabbing.

Log-in with either your Twitch or Curse account, so I will assume this is a rebranded Curse app for Twitch.

I have seen a lot of Twitch adverts as of late, being a long time gamer I am
aware of what it is and does, but I am just not up for public servers.
Wildlands & The Division have very active Twitch communities and I was tempted, but
didn't take the bait.
Those of you that use it, what do you think of it versus a private client like
TS3 or GameVox ?
Cool Share Spawn !

They should make a UWP app with it or at least port it.

For watching, I'm using "MyTwitch" Windows 10 app because it has superior hardware acceleration for my crappy backup laptop. And it just works faster than webpage.

Would be nice if their official app also offered screen capture, direct chat integration and webcam support. That would be sweet.

Is it good? I'm using ztwitch on my Windows Phone but it has some weird bugs.

Some interesting apps above mentioned. I have loved using Twitch. Tend to join streams that are playing Mario Kart!

I really like it. Has all the things I need and nothing more. It's fast and I really like the way how chat works in it.
