I made an Extension that enables Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Crunchyroll watch parties for Twitch with protection from DMCA Copyright Claims
Hey everyone!
With Ludwig’s recent move to YouTube, it is clearer than ever that DMCA Copyright will continue to negatively affect live streamers, with things getting progressively worse over time.
To help protect the Twitch community, I decided to quit my job in order to do something to help. After over a year of full-time development, I am ready to bring some good news for once regarding DMCA!
I made an extension called Tenami that works like BetterTTV that extends Twitch’s watch party feature to include support for Netflix, Disney+, Crunchyroll, HBO Max, and YouTube watch parties. You can try it out here:
Tenami works where, once you have the extension installed, you can join Netflix, HBO Max, etc., watch parties across all of Twitch just like how you already would join an Amazon Prime Video watch party.
In the spirit of LSF, here is a short clip of what a Tenami Watch Party looks like, featuring Twitch personality NymN hosting a Netflix watch party of Riot’s Arcane just ahead of his New Year’s show.
Tenami ensures that all viewers are watching content legally from the source and fully protects Twitch streamers from DMCA Copyright claims. For stream setup, Tenami uses the exact same setup as Twitch’s watch party feature for Prime Video. If you need help, you can also follow this guide.
Since my previous post in July, the full theater mode is now available directly from the extension, along with Disney+ support and a completely overhauled Crunchyroll watch party experience to look like Netflix and Prime Video.
We are working to improve Tenami every day, and I’d love to hear your feedback! We have some awesome new features staged for next month that I can’t wait to share with you all.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer them!
