According to reports, it seems the new Twitch update will change the UI of the browser page on the website in an attempt to bolster stream discoverability. Twitch Partner LowcoTV recently shared a beta version of the new look on her Twitter, which has received widespread approval from the community.The changed UI has new features such as stream-autoplay in a mini-player, quick access to related streamers, and the added advantage of not having to watch a pre-roll ad while trying to find a stream to watch.Many believe this will help new streamers grow by increasing the ease of access for a viewer to pick and choose from a number of streams without the hassle of ever going to another page.Lowco 🏳️‍🌈@LowcoTVMASSIVE TWITCH UPDATE: Twitch is experimenting with a whole new way to browse streams.

This looks to be a *game-changer* for the viewer experience and a big win for smaller creators! Here's what it looks like and why I think it's so good ⬇️ https://t.co/GgpmV5tWeQTwitch's new Browse UI might help new streamers growThe current 'Browse' section of Twitch is not interactive and forces viewers to individually click on streams to see what is going on in the respective streams. Shown below is the current browsing page for Fall Guys. Notice the endless table of static images that meet the user:Current Browse page (Image via Sportskeeda)After choosing the game you want to watch, you will be met with a list of streamers currently streaming the game. But in that list of hundreds, if not thousands, the only way to distinguish between each channel is to go by a still image of the thumbnail and stats like the number of viewers and channel language.The new Browse page, however, is different in a good way. It will have a mini-player at the top with the selected stream playing to give the viewer a good idea about the stream and its content without even leaving the browsing page.New Twitch browser page (Image via Zach Bussey/Twitter)Viewers can easily click on another stream to sample it, too, making the process of trying to find a new streamer much easier. As pointed out by netizens, this will boost channel growth for new streamers.Of course, the mini-player can only play a ~1-minute preview of the stream before stopping, but that is plenty of time to judge the streamer's overall attitude and content.A big problem with finding new streams is the pre-roll ads that play before the stream even starts. Without going into the debate about the new Twitch ad policy, LowcoTV said in her preview that she had not seen a single ad on the Browse page. A Twitch employee also corroborated this:Lowco 🏳️‍🌈@LowcoTVConfirmed by Twitch staff: no ads will be shown when browsing streams through this update. Huge Wtwitter.com/stevemz/status…Steve Mz@stevemz@LowcoTV correct, no ads in this view31416@LowcoTV correct, no ads in this viewConfirmed by Twitch staff: no ads will be shown when browsing streams through this update.

Many users thought this UI change made sense and commended the purple platform for the update:P4wnyhof@P4wnyhof@LowcoTV Which makes sense - Its like a Trial -> Get small windows browse -> Get engaged and interested have to watch pre roll (or not if streamer just ran an add)1@LowcoTV Which makes sense - Its like a Trial -> Get small windows browse -> Get engaged and interested have to watch pre roll (or not if streamer just ran an add)TheDirewolf@TheDirewolf_TV@LowcoTV Agree, huge W.

FB gaming used to do something similar at the top of their categories and I always loved using it as a way to find new creators.My only concern is if it's the same partners constantly. I'd rather it be algorithm-based and show me streamers it thinks I would like.1@zachbussey I like it.

As long as ads aren't played until you click "join stream" it's a good way to view creators before making a decision on if you appreciate their vibe or not Twitch community HATES change though.So everyone will complain 🤭11@zachbussey I actually like this! As long as ads aren't played until you click "join stream" it's a good way to view creators before making a decision on if you appreciate their vibe or not Twitch community HATES change though.So everyone will complain 🤭Some Redditors have raised questions about whether something like this can help new streamers. Their point is that people mostly go to new streamers through word of mouth, i.e., when they see another streamer in a collab, hear about them from their favorite streamer, or when their streamer raids another streamer.Some even said they let YouTube "discover new streamers" for them:A few actually thought that the change might make it worse for small streamers, as the fancy new Browse page will end up promoting existing well-established streamers:Reddit comment about new Update (Image via LiveStreamFails / Reddit)Some want the Amazon-owned platform to incorporate hover-preview rather than the click-to-preview option:The new update has the potential to allow more traffic to pass through the explore page than ever before. The key to increasing any traffic to a page is to increase interactivity, which increases the accessibility of the viewer to reach their desired destination.Plenty of people want to find new streamers to watch, and the fact that Twitch is willing to overhaul the 'Browse' page means they are working towards a solution.
