      Video sites dont organically have a doom scrolling structure where you just sit and get fed more and more random content in an endless stream until you dont know how long you have done it. Short stories bridges that gap for video sites.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Ahead of TwitchCon Las Vegas, Twitch is launching stories for streamers to connect with their audience even when they aren’t live.

    Partners and Affiliates who have streamed at least once for 45 minutes or longer in the last 30 days are eligible to post stories, which are viewable for any of their followers and subscribers on the Twitch mobile app.

    “But we’ve heard form you that trying to connect with them through multiple services limits your reach and can feel rather disconnected from your shared experiences on Twitch.”

    Fenili added that feature will reaching out to followers easier through Twitch, so that streamers don’t have to use another social media platform to let their audience know when they’re going live or if they’re running late.

    Twitch said it plans to release additional story features in the coming months, like creating polls, tagging other streamers and launching editing capabilities.

    The company announced a slew of new tools during TwitchCon Paris earlier this year, and has been rolling out new features like its discovery feed and anti-harassment measures over the last few months.
