Zoom has added Twitch integration to its app,lonely ladies sex videos allowing users to livestream meetings straight to the public for emote-based judgement. Don't get too excited to broadcast your next Dungeons and Dragonssession, though.
Announced on Wednesday, the new connectivity feature lets users go live on Twitch directly from the Zoom desktop client, linking their accounts on both platforms. While it was certainly possible to stream Zoom meetings to Twitch prior to this update using third-party programs, the in-app integration should make it much easier to do so.
Unfortunately, there are a few caveats. Livestreaming Zoom to any platformhas previously been considered a paid privilege, and that app's new Twitch integration is no exception. Zoom's in-app Twitch connectivity thus isn't available for free users, only working on paid Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Educationaccounts, and even then only for licenced users of those accounts. The cheapest is the Pro tier, which will set you back $149.90 per year per licence.
