"Twitch is launching a feature this week I've wanted for a very long time: the ability to scrub back on a livestream right from a streamer's main channel page. You can already look back at previous parts of livestreams as they're going on by clicking through to the Videos section of a streamer's profile, but it seems like this change will be a much easier way to rewind and see what you missed."
"Rewinding will be available first on the web, and initially only for Twitch Turbo subscribers or for channels that you subscribe to individually. Twitch is doing this more limited launch to start because the company needs to make sure that the feature doesn't become a way to get around ads, CEO Dan Clancy says in a livestream. Twitch plans to release the feature to everyone at some point in the future and is also working on bringing it to mobile."
Twitch is launching a live-stream rewind feature that allows viewers to scrub back directly on a streamer's main channel page. Viewers previously had to open the Videos section to see earlier parts of a stream; the new control offers an easier, in-place way to rewind and catch missed moments. Rewinding will launch first on the web and will initially be limited to Twitch Turbo subscribers and to channels that users subscribe to individually. CEO Dan Clancy explained that the limited rollout aims to prevent the feature from becoming a way to circumvent ads. Twitch plans to expand access to all users and to bring the feature to mobile.
