With its hardcore community and complicated setup, Twitch can be an intimidating place for amateur streamers. The Facebook Gaming app is looking to offer a simpler and more accessible alternative, giving newbies a chance to experience gaming and streaming at their own pace.

Twitch has established itself as the leading player in live gaming coverage, but it’s not the only thing drawing people back on a daily basis. As the platform’s content has diversified beyond esports, the interactions between streamers and viewers have made into a hub for community and discussion.

Designed with gamers in mind, Samsung has announced the inclusion of Discord on its Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ devices. As online gaming continues to grow in popularity and mobile tech advances, people are seeking high-quality gaming experiences from their smartphones.

Gamers in search of compelling video content may flock to Twitch and YouTube, but Discord has become the platform of choice for those seeking a community they can easily drop in and out of, offering spaces in which to arrange play sessions, discuss tactics, and bond with others over a shared hobby.
