Twitch Gets A GIPHY Extension, Giving Viewers A Large Library of Gifs To Use

Twitch is growing in many ways as a social experience and, now, the platform is welcoming a tool that takes social engagement to the next level. As of today, Twitch has added a GIPHY extension and given viewers a plethora of gifs to use while in Twitch chat. While exciting, this is going to be a dangerous game up until moderation efforts adjust.

Here are the details for this new groundbreaking addition to the Twitch experience:

  • The GIPHY Twitch Extension allows viewers to post GIFs to a section of the screen pre-determined by the streamer.
  • Once the Extension is activated by the streamer, viewers can access it during the broadcast via the GIPHY icon and enter search terms (reactions, emotions, etc..) into the message bar
  • GIPHY then automatically overlays a relevant GIF on the stream, allowing users to interact and visually comment on the live broadcast

Extensions also got a recent update by allowing Twitch streamers to use six simultaneously, giving the content creators a lot more flexibility and versatility. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
