Low Stress, High Mayhem: Using Twitch for Professional Development and Programming

This talk will describe how the Games & Gaming Round Table (GameRT) set up their Twitch channel and the recent content they are producing on the platform, including an overview of the virtual conferences and monthly discussion series they've developed over the past year. It will cover the round table's goals for the platform, challenges they encountered, and ideas for future use while making space for participant questions. We will also provide a comparison for similar social media and streaming platforms, in order to contextualize how the platform fits into the world of libraries and how it can be used to reach the broader community.
