This course explores the culture and practice of live streaming, with a particular emphasis on Twitch. Through a hands-on approach, it leads students from the various stages of live streaming - account creation, content production and delivery, audience garnering, engagement accruing and multiple possibilities of monetization. Besides Twitch, it will also examine other popular game streaming platforms such as Smashcast, Discord, YouTube, and Gosu Gamers. Interest and experience in gaming and esports a plus, but not required.
