This is a smart direction to take. Allowing music to be streamed separately from the video feed—through platforms like Spotify or YouTube Music—would definitely reduce the risk of DMCA strikes. It reminds me of how some external tools manage content separation to avoid legal issues.
For example, https://www.krydsordfinder.dk/ is a Danish crossword solver that processes word clues and solutions dynamically without hosting or copying any original puzzle content. It’s a great model of how tools can add value without violating usage rights.
Twitch could adopt a similar approach by letting extensions or partner platforms handle music externally while maintaining full control over rights and playback. It’s cleaner, safer, and gives creators more flexibility.
Would love to see Twitch move in this direction—maybe even open up more official integrations to make it seamless.
