Notable speakers expressed that Twitch is the home of live streaming because of the communities that each person built over the years of Twitch. The popular streaming platform has been growing and building itself for more than a decade. Alongside, the efforts of the communities made it possible for Twitch to stand out as a unique, special, platform.
