Twitch has a new clip editor that will make it easier, easier for streamers to promote their content on platforms that target mobile users. Streamers will find the new editor under the clip manager in their creator’s dashboard. as TechCrunch notes, clicking “edit and share clip” will open a tool that will give them an easy way to create vertical video clips. They can choose to create a video that shows the entire portion of their stream or create a clip that splits the view between their stream and their camera. Either way, they get a vertical video they can share.

There is also a toggle at the bottom of the editor that they can toggle to add their channel name to the clip. After they’ve decided what their video snippet should look like, they can either download it or share it directly on YouTube Shorts with a title and a description they’ve written. While the feature only comes with YouTube integration right now, Twitch seems to have plans to add quick sharing for other platforms in the future. Currently, creators have to manually upload their videos if they want to promote their streams through Instagram Reels, Snapchat and TikTok. It still takes a little more work than sharing YouTube Shorts, but by doing so, they put themselves in front of more potential viewers who will become loyal subscribers.
The new vertical clip editor is making its way to the clip manager for all users this week.
