Twitch Just announced the arrival of a new feature that will radically change the aesthetics of live chat. This feature is called «Chat responses» (Chat responses in French) and platform users are allowed to reply to a person’s comment in a new discussion format. To put it simply, by pressing a comment, you have the ability to respond directly to the person and your answer will be shown after that comment, away from the rest of the chat. Twitch has also posted on her account a small demo video with which we can watch a «Chat responses» at work.
Chat responses help keep the conversation going, even when the chat stops.
