Twitch revamps channel pages to help you tune in to streamers
Twitch has unveiled a slew of improvements for viewers and streamers alike at its annual TwitchCon event, and one of them addresses one of the most basic challenges: deciding who to watch. It's revamping channel pages to provide much more information to prospective followers, including a YouTube-style channel trailer, stream schedules and more overall detail. Given that many streamers have to resort to easy-to-miss handmade schedules or unofficial add-ons, this could be helpful for clarifying just when you can expect to see a broadcaster online. The refreshed look should roll out later in 2019.
NVIDIA has created an AI-powered greenscreen for streamers
NVIDIA has unveiled the RTX Broadcast Engine, powered by the Tensor Cores on RTX GPUs, that can do live filters, greenscreening and other tricks for Twitch streamers. The most interesting feature is RTX Greenscreen, which can remove the background from Twitch streamers and replace it with gameplay or whatever you want. "The RTX Greenscreen AI model understands which part of an image is human and which is background, so gamers get the benefits of a greenscreen without needing to buy one," NVIDIA said in a press release.
