TimTheTatman makes return to Twitch after 3 years, will multi stream to YouTube

YouTube streamer and Call of Duty fiend Timothy "TimTheTatman" has made a return to Twitch after three years of not broadcasting on the Amazon-backed platform. The announcement of this shift came through a post on X, where he simply wrote "I'm back btw" and provided a link to his Twitch stream, which was also being multi-streamed on his YouTube channel.

To those unaware, multi-streaming means holding broadcasts on multiple platforms at once, thus catering to the unique audiences one has acquired across different streaming websites. Multi-streaming became a possibility on Twitch after a change in the website's rules regarding its use in October 2023. Prior to that, Twitch streamers were barred from participating in multi-platform broadcasting.
