Reach Lost Twitch Viewers With Game Change Notifications

Twitch streamers deliver great content to their viewers every day, keeping many viewers glued to their screens every night. Streamers enchant their communities with ever-changing computer games and new ideas. But standing out in the sea of other streamers and content and winning over repeat viewers is not easy. But when streamers do manage to build a community around them, it's often hard to reach all viewers with every piece of content. Viewers on Twitch are highly competitive. This is especially evident at major events, such as the live show by German streamers Trymacs and Amar, who at times had up to 220,000 viewers glued to their screens while they competed live against their opponents in several disciplines. You also have to keep in mind that real people are sitting in front of the screen during a stream like this. It is a great challenge to keep all viewers equally enthusiastic and entertained.

Many viewers often follow several streamers. Deciding on a stream often depends on what the streamer is doing. It is not uncommon for questions to pile up in the chat about what is being played today and when. Depending on this, viewers then switch to other streamers. So-called variety streamers are characterized by the fact that they frequently stream other games and other content live. Of course, this appeals to many different user groups, so winning over a constant number of people is an art in itself.

When streamers go live, Twitch sends a push notification to users who follow the streamer. Even though streamers often turn to other social media to reach their audience even when they're not streaming live, a tweet on Twitter doesn't always reach everyone. So push notification is essential for streamers to avoid being forgotten. But if viewers are not excited about the current game and switch off, the thread to the viewer is broken. Reaching fans who have switched streams is impossible on Twitch. Only if the fan stops by again at a later time, he can convince himself of the current game of the streamer.

CationCrew allows streamers and viewers to reconnect. Through selectable notifications, viewers can configure exactly which streamers and which games interest them. If the streamer switches to a previously configured game, viewers receive a new real-time notification via E-Mail, Telegram or browser push notification. That's usually not possible via Twitch. This way, the streamer can rebuild the thread to the viewer and automatically attract exactly those viewers who are interested in the current game.

With the help of referral links from CationCrew, which streamers embed under their stream, their viewers can subscribe directly to all game changes of this streamer in addition to the Twitch notifications. All it takes is one click. We'll show you how this looks from the viewer's point of view here.
