Mixer (formerly Beam)

Mixer, formerly known as Beam, was a live streaming platform focused on gaming and interactive content. It allowed content creators to broadcast their gameplay or other activities directly to viewers, who could interact in real-time through chat and unique features like co-streaming. Mixer stood out for its low-latency streaming technology, providing a smooth and engaging experience. Microsoft acquired it in 2016, aiming to compete with platforms like Twitch and YouTube Gaming. In 2020, Mixer was shut down, with its technology integrated into Facebook Gaming and other Microsoft services.
