Twitch has now announced that it will implement a storage limit for uploads and “Highlights” to just 100 hours per user, effective April 19, 2025. If the storage limit is exceeded, the video will be automatically deleted – especially with low viewing rates. So, what should you know about it?
Moving forward, Twitch will also add storage monitoring to user accounts, making it easier for them to see usage and manage their videos based on view rate and video duration. Twitch also emphasised that this change will not affect video sharing in the “Clips” format. This change is expected to only affect around 0.5% of users who actively stream on Twitch.
Moreover, Twitch also said that the Highlights feature is not as effective as using Clips and Tags. This leads to high storage costs, for features that are rarely watched. With this move, Twitch is expected to be able to manage their resources and storage more effectively.
