Is Twitch better on browser or app?


Comments (0) | Views (4,275)

Twitch is the hub for many live streamers, whether it's in the gaming or vlogging niche. Most of them even stream on Twitch as their full-time job and earn more than just bread and butter.

However, to achieve this, most novice streamers often worry too much about how to get Twitch followers fast. While it certainly requires some time and patience to grow a loyal audience, anyone can simply get more Twitch followers from UseViral. Twitch has made things more convenient for streamers with the option of using either mobile and desktop apps or browser-based apps.
But this has led many streamers to wonder which one is best for them or their niche and whether Twitch is better on browser or app. Therefore, in this article, we are going to shed light on both versions to help you make a better decision for your live streaming. Read on!

Features on Twitch App and Browser

Although you can find most of the basic features on the app which are available on the browser, the Twitch app still lacks many convenient features.
As Twitch users can watch multiple streams at a time on the browser, this is not possible on the Twitch app, as you can only watch one stream at a time and this can certainly be a bummer for many.
Moreover, you can't use personal emotes on the app, and you also can't make any changes to Twitch's interface which can affect user experience significantly. Customized sound alerts for hosts and new subs can't also be used in the app.
On the brighter side, you can video call, group chat, personal text, share your screen, and even voice call using the Twitch app.
Whereas, on the other hand, you can find amazing features on the Twitch browser and unlimited customization options to enhance usability.

Twitch Interface

Some Twitch users or streamers may be inclined towards downloading the app for a different interface. However, sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't really much difference between the browser and the app.
Hence, many people are put off by the fact that there's really no purpose in downloading an app separately, especially if you don't want to put extra load on your system while the usability in terms of the interface will be similar.

Frustrating Ads

Pre-roll and on-page ads can be quite intrusive and annoying for Twitch users and unfortunately, you will have to bear with ads if you are planning to use the Twitch app.
The ads on the app can't be avoided, as you can't skip the on-page ads, and you will have to watch the ad once again if you restart a stream.
Whereas, Twitch browser allows you to use plenty of extensions for ad blocking, which are quite helpful in blocking almost all of the ads for a smooth user experience.

Portability

If you are a streamer who vlogs on the go about their daily life, having the Twitch app will be your best bet as you can take your phone and stream anywhere you want without any accessibility restrictions.
However, Twitch web browser is ideal for ones who have an office from where they stream regularly.
From the perspective of viewers, you will find the Twitch app quite handy and convenient, as you can watch your favorite streamers on your commute or on a long journey.
