Engage, educate and excite
The first challenge was how does Twitch make sure they’re not intrusive. But also to add a layer of empowerment, within the restrictions of open access and inclusivity. And because there was no single source they needed a white labeled community hub to bring everyone together.
Empower the community
The meetups.twitch.tv site provides a single source of truth for the community builders to create, promote and run in-person and virtual events. Each of the local organizers has their own social tools. Twitch plays support.
“What’s core to all of us as people is that we really just want to engage with others. We really want to find our people, and our tribe and our place for us to belong.

There’s an instant shared connection.”
A thriving community of super-fans
