Following Twitch Studio’s beta launch on Windows PCs in November 2019, the software that lets users stream their own gameplay to the popular video platform is now available for Mac. For those of us gamers who shun the siren call of PC gaming, this is a major step forward. Sure, there are plenty of third-party alternatives like OBS, but native Twitch streaming is easier to set up and use.
