If you’ve ever wanted to rewind a Twitch stream, that long-awaited feature is finally at hand. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has announced that pause and rewind options were added to the service this week, with some notable exceptions.
Clancy made the announcement during a live-stream (via The Verge), and noted that it is currently limited to Twitch Turbo subscribers or for channels that users are individually subscribed to. However, it’s not available on mobile yet.
“It’s a feature I’ve been looking forward to us getting out,” said Clancy. “It keeps viewers connected as they pause or rewind. Chat continues to stay live, so you can see the hype and understand what’s happening in the live stream. The idea is that you’re still there, you can catch up and then you come back.”
