When I first started live streaming back in late March, early April, we got a notification saying that only 100 hours of video storage will be kept This means, as an example, if you stream, for example, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that's 40 hours of storage. In 3 weeks, that's 120 hours minus the 20 hours of storage. In this case, you went over 100 hours of storage time and any videos will be deleted.Â
I will only speak for myself when I say, my videos on Twitch would get deleted automatically after 7 days. Not to mention, I can't store more than 100 hours worth of videos. I can imagine those who had terabytes worth of content, talking about thousands of hours. To me, that's just infuriating. Yes, you can upload to your stream to a different platform, such as YouTube or Rumble, but uploading take a long ass time.Â
After a thinking about it and careful consideration, I started to upload my Twitch Live streams to my YouTube channel and created a "Twitch Past Live Stream' Play List. At which point, I thought, If I'm going to upload my Twitch Streams to my YouTube channel, I might as well just live stream on YouTube and be done with the headache of uploading from one platform to another.Â
Hence, the last time I uploading a game play video on my YouTube channel was a year ago. I chose to revive my YouTube channel by uploading my Twitch Streams. a few days later, I made the decision to Live Stream on YouTube instead; reason being, I don't loose my past recorded game play videos nor my live streams. If at some point, Twitch reverts its decision and we can keep out videos in the same manner as YouTube, then I'll start streaming on Twitch again.
Will I continue to stream on Twitch? I don't know. However, If I would multicast my streams, sure, I'd be up for streaming on both Twitch and YouTube. Since I don't multicast and I want to keep my videos without it being deleted, at the moment, YouTube is the best choice for me to live stream. Hence, that's why I started to live stream on my YouTube Channel.Â
