how to go back on a twitch stream
If you’re watching a Twitch stream and want to go back to see something you missed, here are the steps you can take:
1. Rewind using the Twitch player:
– If the stream is still live and the broadcaster has enabled VOD (Video On Demand) or Stream Highlights, you can click and drag the progress bar (the timeline) at the bottom of the player to go back in time. You can also click on the specific spot on the timeline to jump to that point.
– This feature is only available if the broadcaster has allowed VODs to be saved.
2. Use the Stream’s VODs (Video On Demand):
– After a stream ends, the content may be available as a VOD (Video On Demand). You can check the channel’s VODs by going to the broadcaster’s Twitch profile and looking for past streams.
– On the channel’s profile page, go to the “Videos” tab, where you will find past streams, clips, and highlights that you can watch at any time.
3. Check for Clips:
– Twitch also allows viewers to create clips of moments from live streams. If something specific you want to revisit was particularly noteworthy, you may be able to find it as a clip on the broadcaster’s channel or in the “Clips” section.
If a stream is live and doesn’t have VODs or clips available, your ability to rewind is limited to the ongoing broadcast unless you pause or record the stream manually.
Make sure to check the specific settings of each stream or broadcaster, as not all streamers allow VODs or clips for their content.
