Overview
- Twitch will enforce a 100-hour storage cap for all Highlights and Uploads starting April 19, 2025, affecting both published and unpublished videos.
- The policy excludes Past Broadcasts (VODs) and Clips, which are either auto-deleted after a set period or limited to short durations.
- Twitch stated that Highlights have not been effective in driving engagement compared to features like Clips and the mobile discovery feed.
- Less than 0.5% of active Twitch channels currently exceed the 100-hour limit, and affected users will be notified to manage their content.
- The speedrunning community has raised concerns about losing archived gaming history, urging members to export their Highlights to other platforms like YouTube.
