Twitch Quiz – Livestream Categories, Emotes and Raids

Twitch launched in 2011 as a gaming spin-off of Justin.tv, and Amazon bought it in 2014. Streamers broadcast live while viewers chat in real time.

Games such as Fortnite and League of Legends draw huge audiences, but Just Chatting became the most watched category. Emotes like Kappa, raids that send viewers to other channels and bits used to cheer give Twitch its culture.

Viewers support streamers with subscriptions, including a free monthly one through Prime Gaming. TwitchCon brings creators and fans together, and Ninja's 2018 Fortnite stream with Drake set an early viewer record. Today Twitch hosts everything from art and music to chess and science streams.
