Xbox Insiders members have got a first-hand experience at the brand new, redesigned Twitch app which became available this week.
Since the launch of the Xbox One and subsequent Twitch app, streaming has been buggy and at times, unreliable as it crashes leaving many streamers disappointed. According to a Xbox Program Manager, Team Xbox have been hard at work making various improvements to the app while adding some new features to the app including:
- Live video previews: view livestreams while you browse
- Better support for past broadcasts: see chats on offline videos
- Improved stability: the Twitch app has been rebuilt from the ground up to improve your viewing experience

For Insiders members, to participate in the beta, do follow the steps as how to test out the Twitch app according to Xbox Wire:
- On your Xbox One console, launch the Xbox Insiders Hub (or install the Xbox Insider Hub from the Store first if necessary).
- Navigate to Insider content > Apps > Twitch Beta.
- Select Join.
- Wait for the registration to finish processing (Pending will disappear) to be redirected to the Store page and install the Twitch Beta, or, select the Show in store button on the page once the registration is complete.
Players who experience difficulty joining the beta will have to try again at a later stage. However, players are welcomed to submit a feedback report by holding down the Xbox buttom and selecting the “Report a problem” from the menu.
