Balticon on Twitch

Virtual Balticon 54 will be broadcasting popular panels and presentations to the Twitch streaming service to make these items available to more attendees. While attendees viewing on a Twitch stream will not be able to pose questions directly to participants via Q&A, this will provide a convenient way to get access to panel content once Zoom registrations are full.

How to use Twitch

  • Twitch video can be viewed through the Twitch app and (as a guest) at https://www.twitch.tv/ through most major web browsers.
  • An account and login are needed to post text comments as the streaming is ongoing; guest accounts can watch without a login.
  • Find the BSFS Twitch account here: https://www.twitch.tv/bsfsbalticon
