posttwitch

Posttwitch refers to the period following a live-streaming session on the platform Twitch. It encompasses the various activities and considerations that occur once a streamer has ended their broadcast. This can include reviewing VODs (Video On Demand) to identify highlights or areas for improvement, engaging with the community in offline chats or forums, and planning for future streams. Posttwitch activities also often involve content creation beyond the live broadcast, such as editing stream highlights into shorter videos for platforms like YouTube or TikTok, or creating social media posts to promote upcoming streams. For viewers, posttwitch might involve watching VODs of past streams they missed, catching up on community discussions, or preparing for the next live broadcast. The concept highlights the ongoing nature of content creation and community building that extends beyond the live interaction on Twitch itself. It acknowledges that a streamer's work doesn't end when the "Go Live" button is switched off, but rather continues into content repurposing, community engagement, and strategic planning for future broadcasts.
