how exactly does this "hosting" thing work on twitch anyway
@monorail ah so if stream A is hosting stream B and I say a thing in stream A's chat, streamer B and their chat room can't see it?
@Felthry right
@Felthry You write up a list of people to host and if they come online while you're off, or you go offline while they're on, they'll play on your page -Katie
@Felthry if you're not streaming, you can choose to have someone else's stream appear on your channel, as a way to advertise them or, in some cases, allow for smaller chats around a big event
like when you're signing off you might host one of your friends who's streaming, or if you're a speedrunner going to a gdq you might host the gdq channel so that your smaller community can chat in your channel while watching it
