Starting April 19, Twitch will implement a 100-hour storage cap for Highlights and Uploads, affecting both published and unpublished content. Streamers exceeding this limit may face automatic content deletions if they do not manage their storage effectively. Twitch is also introducing a video storage tracker in the Creator Dashboard to assist creators in organizing their content. This decision reflects a broader trend in social media toward managing video storage costs, as Twitch's analysis revealed that traditional Highlights and Uploads were not significantly enhancing content discovery compared to newer features like Clips and the Discovery Feed.
