Twitch:Reduced Stream Delay Option is LIVE for All Broadcasters

So i just got a email form twitch saying with a simply toggle button in setting broadcasters can now reduce the stream delay by 33%

 

All i can say is Finally!!!!!!

 

 

"Beginning today, all broadcasters will have the option to reduce stream delay on their broadcasts via an on-off toggle in Settings. Enabling this feature reduces delay on average by 33%.

How have we reduced the delay? We’ve successfully cut the video segment size from four seconds to two seconds, which decreases the amount of video that is stored in the processing pipeline. If you’re a broadcaster who spends a lot of time interacting with chat, this new reduced delay option means you’ll spend less time waiting for replies.

 

You can enable this option at any time, but it must be turned on prior to the start of your broadcast to take effect.

We’re releasing the reduced delay beta as an option to broadcasters because it does come at a small quality of service cost – particularly to viewers with poor internet connections. Some viewers may experience changes in playback, with shorter, more frequent buffering times. Because less video is queued on a viewer’s computer, they will be more susceptible to variations in download bandwidth, and may experience more interruptions in service while video buffers. Rather than require every channel to switch to the reduced delay option, we’re leaving it up to the broadcaster to decide what is best for his or her community. If you spend a lot of time interacting with chat, a decreased delay may be incredibly beneficial to your community."

Yes... yes it is. now as for something like the WAN show it mmight not be the best since people on lower quality connections will see more short buffer times.

Might want to include "twitch" in the title, I misread it as "steam".

Nice to know, I'm tired of seeing a 30-second delay in streams that interact with the chat a lot.

 Wasn't a lower delay one of the major improvements due to moving Twitch onto the Amazon servers? At least that is what people told me.

There isn't really much interaction with viewer chat anyway so it wouldn't be needed for the WAN Show.
