For example, one of the tools is an updated multistreaming feature that allows users to stream simultaneously to multiple platforms (and thus, access all of their subscription services and reward programs), including Twitch, YouTube and TikTok among others. This tool launches in open beta later this year. StreamElements also has Sponsorship Viewer Rewards in development, which would allow viewers to earn rewards by playing games on the channel and the creator to make money even while offline.
The other tools StreamElements has revealed are geared towards offering creators insight into their audiences.
