"Microsoft is closing its Mixer service on July 22nd and plans to move existing partners over to Facebook Gaming. The surprise announcement means Mixer partners and streamers will be transitioned to Facebook Gaming starting today, and Microsoft will no longer operate Mixer as a service in a month’s time."

(also can a mod move this to the News section? i haven't posted a thread here in ages so I apologize)

I never even heard of it... Is it a streaming thing (I assume from the Facebook Gaming mention)?

No wonder they're shutting it down, it must have had zero advertising.

It was Microsoft's attempt at taking on Twitch. They paid a ton of money to some big-name streamers to exclusively use it, but it looks like it didn't really matter.

The fact they didn't even tell their employees about it until the day of is shitty beyond words.

it started as beam.pro, who's claim to fame (besides just not being twitch) was having very little stream delay. then they were bought out by microsoft in order to integrate it into the xbox platform, but that wasn't really working out so they paid some top twitch streamers big money to join. recently an employee spoke out about a racist manager and only got a standard "this is unacceptable" response, then a couple days later microsoft announces this with no warning to anyone involved

To say nothing of Google and their YouTube streaming platform. I don't know if there's any decent livestreaming options that aren't powered by either Google, Amazon, or Facebook.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
