""It's a feature I've been looking forward to us getting out. It keeps viewers connected as they pause or rewind. Chat continues to stay live, so you can see the hype and understand what's happening in the live stream. The idea is that you're still there, you can catch up and then you come back.""
""Clancy indicated that the feature will eventually be added to mobile, and there will be a phased rollout to everyone on Twitch in the future. One of Clancy's stated reasons for not immediately going wide with the feature is that Twitch wants to make sure rewind can't be used to sidestep ads on the platform. He also indicated that rewind won't be available for DJ channels because of rights issues.""
Twitch added pause and rewind controls for live streams, currently available to Turbo subscribers and on channels where viewers hold individual subscriptions. The feature requires streamers who are affiliated or partnered to enable rewind and pause on their channels. Chat remains live while viewers pause or rewind so viewers can follow live reactions and return to the live broadcast. Mobile support is not yet available, and a phased rollout is planned. Protections against ad-skipping are being implemented, and rewind will be blocked on DJ channels due to music rights limitations. Twitch remains a major streaming platform with broader industry influence.
