Mixer -- Video games like never before

Mixer (service)

Blender is a Seattle based game. The service was officially launched on January 5, 2016 as Beam, but Mixer was renamed in May 2017. The service lets you stream any content you want from video games to live audio recording. The service emphasizes interaction, with low latency and a platform to allow viewers to perform actions that can affect the broadcast.

Features

Mixer distinguishes itself as the best live streaming platform from other streaming platforms by emphasizing the interaction between banners and viewers and this is what it is. . This feature is used by an interactive system, where viewers can use the buttons displayed next to the broadcast to influence the broadcast (such as voting or playback). Another advantage Mixer uses to distinguish itself from competition is the ability to participate in four live streams.

There are four players participating in the live stream where you can share up to four people in the same live stream but each person can play the same game or a completely different game. Users can spend "Sparks" (acquired to view and share streams) to activate these interaction features, and Mixer support can be integrated into games via the SDK.

In November 2018, the site unveiled a major update called 'Season 2', including the immediate release of features and upcoming feature plans. The update added operator quality adjustment, "Skills" - a feature that can be used to run special animations and effects in chat. Some premium skills are purchased using the paid currency "Embers"; channels can receive revenue from Embers that viewers spend. Partner partners can also receive payment bonuses based on how much they spend on their channels. In April 2019, Mixer added "Channel Progression" - a level system to track user engagement with a particular channel over time. Users can get benefits to reward their long-term participation.

History

Beam was launched on January 5, 2016. In May 2016, Beam won the Startup Battlefield Competition at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference, where he received $ 50,000 in equity-free financing. On August 11, 2016, Microsoft received a Beam for a fee and an undisclosed amount. The service team is integrated into the Xbox section. On October 26, 2016, Microsoft also announced that Beam was integrated into Windows 10. Beam Broadcast on Xbox One was also integrated into the March 2017 software update. The re-branding is accompanied by the introduction of many new features, such as the user's ability to host up to three other streams on his channel simultaneously, as well as the Mixer Creation mobile app in the Mixer app.

Mixer also announced that it has high-level integration within the Xbox One dashboard, with a new tab that coordinates Mixer streams. On July 31, 2019, video game player Ninja announced that it will be moving exclusively from Twitch to Mixer from August 1. The deal was seen as a major coup against Mixer, where Ninja was among Twitch's VIPs, with over 14 million followers. The founders of Boehm and Salsamendi both left Microsoft in October 2019.
