Mixer (defunct)

Mixer was a live-streaming platform developed by Microsoft, designed for gamers and content creators to broadcast their gameplay and engage with audiences in real-time. Launched in 2016, it introduced unique features like low latency streaming and interactive tools for viewers. Despite its innovative approach, Mixer struggled to compete with larger platforms like Twitch and YouTube Gaming. Microsoft announced its shutdown in June 2020, citing a desire to focus on other gaming initiatives. This closure marked the end of Mixer’s brief existence in the competitive landscape of online streaming.
