At Streamloots we’re always trying to find new ways for creators to provide valuable content to their communities, no matter the platform where they stream. And as a streamer grows and matures their content and channel, usually they come to realize that providing ‘offline’ content – meaning content that is always readily accessible and not just during a live stream – can be incredibly valuable to viewers as well.
It’s for this purpose that we’ve developed and just released the Streamloots Feed. With it, all creators will be able to provide constant and diverse offline content to supporters, keep your community updated on current or upcoming channels events, offer exclusive content for Subscribers only, and much more. In today’s article we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about the Streamloots Feed.
