Amazon-owned live streaming platform Twitch revealed at Twitchcon 2018 a slew of new and unique features coming to the site. These include Twitch Sings and Squad Stream. Twitch Sings is described as a "new category of game" and is built by Twitch and Harmonix, the developer of Rock Band. As a viewer, you will not only be able to watch your favorite Twitch talent sing their hearts out, but also participate by requesting songs, give challenges, or even sing along. Twitch Sings is currently in closed beta, but you can sign up on their website if you want to try it out. Live streaming video platform Twitch announced in a blog post yesterday that they are introducing new tools for creators who "have a passion for making videos on their own terms." This new set of tools is dubbed "Video Producer", and it allows creators to showcase pre-recorded videos that premiere at a scheduled time. One of the main features of Video Producer is "Premieres", which the company teased at TwitchCon 2017. Twitch has also made it easy for viewers to distinguish what type of video is playing by adding new status indicators for premieres and reruns.
