Twitch is rolling out a brand new chat historical past function that ought to make it a lot simpler to catch what is going on on in a streamer’s chat.
While you leap right into a stream, you can see both the final 50 messages or the final hour of what was stated within the chat, whichever possibility has fewer messages. It might sound like a probably massive hole between choices, however I feel it serves each massive and small streams effectively.
For a lot of bigger streams, chat flies by a mile a minute, discussions occurring and altering at a fast tempo. Fifty messages might be sufficient to get you on top of things earlier than shifting on to one thing else. Smaller streams could solely have a number of devoted conversations that will not submit sufficient to succeed in the 50 message threshold, so with the ability to see the earlier hour of messages permits you to meet up with what was most likely a set extra targeted on conversations.
Chat Historical past is rolling out beginning Monday, according to Twitch, and the discharge will happen “within the subsequent few days.” I haven’t got it but, however I am unable to wait to get it.
