The aforementioned features are already present on the video platform Twitch, and they’re all vital tools to allow the streamers to engage with their community. Furthermore, limiting chats to subscribers only can assist as a moderation tool by expelling random people and it provides streamers with another tool to encourage their viewers to begin paying for watching the content

Now moving on towards another important update which is the polls. They are vital for engaging with the often-chaotic chatrooms, thus providing streamers with a simple method to ask for opinions for their future course of action.

On the other hand, YouTube is still limiting clips feature to gaming creators only with more than 1,000 followers. However, the company says that it will launch this feature for everyone eventually.
