A new category : Twitch Education

Twitch should be allowed to be a place not just for entertainment, but also for learning and education. People who wants to stream educational content are currently not allowed to participate on Twitch, unless they are artists or programmers. Twitch is one of the largest streaming services, and while there is plenty of educational material on the internet, there is a lack of interactive, free to use services for interactive classes. Twitch could become a fantastic plattform for students, teachers and groups who wants to learn in a more interactive environment, that they can't get with other learning resources on the internet.

    Twitch should absolutely show increased support for educational channels. I switched from Zoom to Twitch during the COVID onset, and my class liked it way more. This seems to be underappreciated.

    Educational content is everything. I have found a community of folks willing to talk about science and it has motivated me to renew my efforts of learning.

    This should 100% happen! Video education is here and Twitch should act on this right away.

  • ProfMelko commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please! Would help to add tags for different subjects also. Twitch is a great platform for education, but we need better discovery. Especially with more teaching going remote...now is the time!!!
  • English_Sandwich commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes! There should also be more education-related tags to choose from!

    Technically "Younger users" shouldn't be using twitch without adult supervision, according to the user agreement, but some of us adults like learning too

    Hello,
    I just had an idea about new category named ‘educational’. I don’t know if there is something similar on twitch already but the concept reminds me a bit on ‘just chatting’. My idea was, since you have a lot of younger users, to have a category that would include some sort of education through live stream. It could gather teachers that would stream some their basic or advanced knowledge or something of that kind. I believe this type of streaming could be the future of learning, but it’s still just an idea. If there is anyone interested in this concept I am here to discuss!

    Really awesome idea and wish Twitch would add this. The possibilities are endless with this category. Could even learn new languages under this category!

    Since you're diversifying into the hellhole that is currently Twitch IRL, might as well make it a better place with the current Creative streams and add Education

    Education would be a great idea!
  • Marc Lapointe commented  ·   ·  Report

    excellent idea education: mathematics,history,astro-physics,any kind of learning will be good ...

    The fact that we have to fight to make this happen while we have softcore porn on twitch says a lot.

    this only makes sense to add this category.
