Twitch has added two new categories for streamers and viewers. Here’s everything you need to know about the update.
Twitch is a popular live-streaming platform that mainly focuses on video game streaming. It also includes categories like music, art, and “Just Chatting”—where streamers casually discuss with their audience. Streamers like Kai Cenat use these categories to label their streams and help viewers find streams related to their interests more easily.
In August, the popular live-streaming platform added a new DJ category, separating those with a specific interest in DJing from the music category. Fans of LEGO building and miniature painting can also rejoice, as the platform has introduced two new categories dedicated to those hobbies.
Twitch New Categories: LEGO & Brickbuilding and Miniatures & Models
Twitch has added the LEGO & Brickbuilding and Miniatures & Models categories to its extensive list of options. This aims to enhance the experience for both streamers and viewers.
The addition marks an exciting beginning for streamers whose content focuses on building with LEGO sets or other bricks, as well as those who create figurines using glue and paint. Currently, these categories have already attracted hundreds of followers, showing just how much users have been looking forward to them.
For those unfamiliar, both miniature painting and brick building have been popular niches on Twitch, with streamers like MiniaturesDen boasting over 20,000 followers. These new categories will help streamers narrow their focus and reach interested viewers more easily instead of relying on Makers & Crafting or other categories.
So, if you’re interested in creating or streaming content for those new categories, now might be the perfect time to do so, as they’re likely to attract more followers in the near future.
