Social video platform Twitch announced that it will enable its broadcasters to customize their channel pages with interactive experiences. That means broadcasters will be able to add things like polls, music, games, and Streamlabs’ loyalty and tipping platform to their livestreams.

The Extensions, which are coming soon (Twitch didn’t say when), can plug into a live video feed on Twitch. The new customization options could enhance growing the relationship between creators of livestreams and their communities. This could lead to better engagement, more dedicated fans, and new ways to monetize them.
