    @Steam @valvesoftware @Twitch You going to show valve how to fix its streaming service? Not had an issue on Twitch but watch on steam breaks every five minutes.

  • Ocfos Ocfos 🐀 (@Ocfos) reported

    Hey @Steam @OnDeck your stream in the steam client is incredibly choppy and keeps cutting out, despite my connection being 100% fine and having zero issues. I've had to refresh at least 40 times despite doing nothing else while watching. Viewer numbers seem chaotic too.

  • blackroseMD1 Brian Haslip (@blackroseMD1) reported

    @Steam @thegameawards The stream is awful. It keeps stopping and starting, then dying completely, over and over again. I'm on gigabit internet. There shouldn't be an issue.

  • FrogggrGo Liam Dupere (@FrogggrGo) reported

    @bombdigy @Steam you got a problem knowing how steam works, those are profile id's not bots
