    While Twitch has been busy expanding the breadth of what you can watch on its platform, Microsoft has been quietly improving how you watch and broadcast with its Beam service.

What does is how the service is improving. Specifically, Mixer now offers co-operative streaming and broadcasts in 4K UHD.
