曾几何时，微软^(Microsoft)想收购Twitch，可以看出该公司为何有此意图。然而，事情并没有按计划进行，因为亚马逊^(Amazon)的出现以一分钱的价格吞噬了流行的流媒体平台。为挽回损失，微软^(Microsoft)选择收购小型流媒体平台Beam，唯一目的是在未来超越Twitch。后来，这家软件巨头决定将名称更改为Mixer，从那时起，它已经获得了数百万新的流媒体。

用于流媒体的混音器与 Twitch

^(Mixer)在直播方面，Mixer仍然落后于Twitch甚至YouTube ，但它仍在增长，这对^(YouTube)微软^(Microsoft)和整个流媒体市场来说都很棒。现在，对于那些还没有给Mixer机会的人，我们今天将详细讨论它，从那里你可以决定是否值得花时间和精力。请记住，就收视率而言，它与^(Bear)Twitch和YouTube不在同一水平，但也不错。

1]设计^{(1] Design)}

当谈到Mixer的设计和用户界面时，人们必须同意它看起来很棒。精选流显示在最顶部，而平台上正在播放的顶级游戏显示在下方。此部分还显示您正在关注的频道、热门流等。

我们喜欢大多数重要的东西都显示在主屏幕上的事实；因此，不需要搬走。

2]帐户^{(2] Account)}

您要做的下一件事是创建一个帐户，或者只需使用您的Microsoft帐户登录。当然，这样做会给您带来很多好处，这就是为什么我们建议您走这条路，特别是对于那些计划成为普通观众或流媒体的人。

3] 津贴^{(3] Perks)}

是的，让我们谈谈津贴，因为这些对帐户持有人很重要。你看，每当人们观看视频时，他们都会定期获得Sparks和 XP。^(Sparks)XP 用于升级，而Sparks用于与流媒体交互的某些方面。

除了我们刚刚提到的之外，还有一种叫做 Embers 的东西，但用户不需要拥有它。Embers 就是使用高级技能来支持Mixer合作伙伴。人们必须花费真金白银来赚取这些代币，这很遗憾。

但如果你愿意付费，那就继续吧，因为在很多情况下，这会帮助你最喜欢的流媒体，这意味着他们会提供更多内容。

4]准备好广播了吗？^{(4] Ready to Broadcast?)}

^{(Broadcasting)}一旦所有正确的工具都到位，广播就很容易了。收集完所有东西之后，是时候开始你的第一次广播了。要完成此操作，请单击您的个人资料照片，然后选择Broadcast Dashboard。它应该立即在新窗口中打开。

查找显示Stream Setup的按钮，然后单击它。之后，请从列表中选择您喜欢的流媒体软件。请务必复制Stream Key，因为在完成设置时始终需要它。

总的来说，我们喜欢Mixer，因为它看起来很容易，并且有很大的成长空间来培养新的主播。Twitch等其他平台拥有庞大的受众，这是肯定的，但这也意味着竞争异常激烈

Mixer vs Twitch: Is Mixer a better Twitch alternative for streaming?

There was a tіme when Microsоft wanted tо purchase Twitch, and one could see why the company had that intention. However, things didn’t work out as planned because Amazon came along gobbled up the popular streaming platform for a pretty penny. To get over the loss, Microsoft chose to acquire Beam, a small streaming platform with the sole purpose of overtaking Twitch in the future. At a later date, the software giant decided to change the name to Mixer, and since then, it has garnered millions of new streamers.

Mixer vs. Twitch for streaming

Mixer is still lagging behind Twitch and even YouTube where live streaming is concerned, but it’s still growing, which is great for Microsoft and the streaming market in general. Now, for those who have yet to give Mixer a chance, we’re going to discuss it today in great detail, and from there, you can decide if it’s worth the time and effort. Bear in mind that it is not on the same level as Twitch and YouTube where viewership is concerned, but it’s not bad either.

1] Design

When it comes down to the design and user interface of Mixer, one has to agree that it looks great. The featured streams are shown at the very top, while the top games being played on the platform are shown below that. This section also shows the channels you’re following, the top streams, among other things.

We like the fact that most of the important things are shown on the main screen; therefore, the need to move away is not required.

2] Account

The next thing you’ll want to do is create an account, or simply sign in with your Microsoft account. Doing this gives you a lot of perks, of course, and that’s why we recommend going down this route, especially for those who plan on becoming regular viewers or streamers.

3] Perks

Yes, let’s talk about the perks because these are important for account holders. You see, whenever folks watch videos, they are granted Sparks and XP on a regular basis. XP is used towards leveling up, while Sparks is for some aspects of interacting with a streamer.

Outside of what we just mentioned, there’s something called Embers, but users are not required to have this. Embers is all about using premium skills to supports Mixer partners. Folks must spend real money to earn these tokens, and that’s unfortunately sad.

But if you’re willing to pay, then go on ahead because in many cases, this helps your favorite streamers, and this means, more content from them.

4] Ready to Broadcast?

Broadcasting is easy once all the right tools are in place. After gathering all things, then its time to make a move to begin your first broadcast. To get this done, click on your profile photo then select Broadcast Dashboard. It should open in a new window right away.

Look for the button that says Stream Setup, then click on it. After that, please choose from the list your preferred streaming software. Be sure to copy the Stream Key because it is always required when completing the setup.

Overall, we like Mixer because its easy on the eyes and a lot of room to grow for new streamers. Other platforms such as Twitch has a huge audience, that’s for sure, but it also means the competition is extremely tough
