Amazon’s Twitch game-livestreaming division acquired voice chat firm Curse back in August. Now Curse is launching a major update for its voice-over-internet-protocol app with video calls and screen sharing.

These features have been the most requested by streamers, according to Twitch. Earlier at TwitchCon 2016 in September, the company said that users would be able to synchronize their Twitch and Curse accounts to get extra perks.
