This means if you are planning on making a public server, you’ll want to ensure you have proper moderation in place. Unless the server is private you don’t need anything to join a server unlike Discord where you need at least an Instant Invite link. Discovering Servers offers a bit more as you’re able to use a wide range of filters such as the type of server, number of members, or what game its focus is. If you’re searching for specific people you can do that by their Username, E-mail, or even their Character Name which is a nice feature. The list seems to be compiled from connected programs such as Steam/ or mutual friends. With the Discover Friends button, you’ll be presented with a list of recommended people to add to your friends list or whisper them. Discovering friends and servers boasts the same idea. The video game integration further emphasizes what Twitch is going for which is all around connectivity for their users. More game integration will be available in the future as there is a Game Library tab that will allow you to launch your games that you have purchased off directly off the App.
Twitch desktop mode install#
Additionally due to Curse’s mod support, if you have any compatible games, you can search and install add-ons directly through the Twitch App. The far sidebar also includes the button to switch to Chat and also windows to discover new friends and servers to join. On the left everything is neatly labelled and organized into the various areas of the App such as Recent interactions, Friends, Servers, and Groups. Right away you have the choice to create a server, join one, or start a call where you can invite people via a link or adding your friends.
When you open the App you are greeted by a nice Twitch purple homepage. The Rundownĭue to Curse having their own VOIP service before Twitch acquired them, they have been able to use it as a foundation for the Desktop App. I’ll also be checking out the main features of the App since things like statuses, friend lists, settings, etc.
Twitch desktop mode upgrade#
The service is an upgrade and re-skin of the old Curse VOIP service but as someone who never used the old Curse program, I’ll be viewing the app as a first time user. Alongside their launch of Pulse, Twitch is starting to make their mark on the Social Media world. Thanks to the acquisition of Curse last year, they now have a new VOIP service.
Twitch recently launched their Twitch Desktop App.
