Breaking: Google bans music from Twitch

[VladTheImpaler]

Nope.. They have currently removed the audio from people who even made the music themselves, owned their own music licenses, etc.

im sure a lot of this will be fixed (maybe) in the near future, but for the time being, its basically no sound unless its your own voice on your VOD or it will be muted. Keep in mind you can play this on your stream currently but if you want to upload to youtube or save the VOD, everything will be muted.

that is some spiteful shyt by google. Damn.

 

[Serious Face]

If google doesn't change this, users will leave en masse.

actually I already made the switch to just solo my boring ass voice on my streams months ago during Elder Scrolls Online because I had pandora playing one time and tried to upload a video to youtube and they was like the fukk you thinkin tryna upload this video with music playing in the back ground so since then I did this set up (took me awhile to get it figured out actually) where basically I got a program called VAC that creates a fake sound card on my computer and creates more lines in and outs (you create the lines) and basically I have it so my music is set up to 1 line, while the game is set up to another line. So I can listen to music, but the stream cant hear it.

Cant recommend the set up for novice computer people honestly shyt made me wanna break my keyboard figuring it out

you were desperate breh

Y'all wanna watch livestreams where you don't have to worry about content ID's muting all the video's, removing all of the archives, then come to Hitbox!

Indie devs have to be pissed about this. Imagine watching a Hotline Miami stream without that fire ass soundtrack.

Everyone's gonna migrate very quickly.

you knew this was coming from this guy

That's one of the things that put Twitch over YT as far as gameplay vids. I won't miss people playing their own music, I hate that but the in-game music? Stupid.

I'll check out this Hitbox, never heard of it.

I guess the content ID has now been targeting live streams and not just VODs and been muting live streams already (thought this would be a few days/weeks away)

Does anyone use twitch to listen to music, or just to see how a game looks
Only reason I used it. And most games I play don't really have lots of music
Sports games... FPS online (campaign probably not either for the most part)

While ppl will and should leave twitch, another option would be to just turn the music off in the options menu

I did this as soon as the first person here mentioned it.

And I was just enjoying sending streams to Twitch from my PS4....

Music is important, no way around this one.
