Twitch announces a new Clip Editor for TikTok-Like Short Video Sharing

Twitch , the world's leading live streaming platform, has announced a new update that allows content creators to easily craft and share TikTok-like short, vertical video clips across various platforms. The new clip editor, available in the creator dashboard, simplifies the editing process and enhances connectivity between Twitch and other social media platforms.

Users can choose between a split view or a streamlined vertical snippet from the clip, and there is an option to include the channel name. While direct sharing to TikTok or Instagram Reels is not currently supported, Twitch's clip editor offers direct integration for social sharing on YouTube Shorts, with plans to add more integrations in the future.

This update eliminates the need for streamers to rely on third-party tools for clip editing, like StreamLadder , streamlining their workflow and demonstrating Twitch's dedication to streamers' needs. The development also shows Twitch's desire to establish stronger ties within the broader social media landscape, catering to streamers who rely on cross-promotion to expand their reach.
