Twitch is removing permanent storage of past broadcasts

A lot of you stream nowadays! So I'm just going to post this here instead of meaning to link this in chat and then never doing so.

The Official Twitch Blog Update: Changes To VODs On Twitch ? The Official Twitch Blog

Going forward, we’re increasing default rolling storage for past broadcasts from 3 days to a maximum of 14 days, for everyone who has opted in (i.e., enabled Archive Broadcasts). For Turbo subscribers and members of the Twitch Partner Program, that storage is increased to a maximum of 60 days.

Unfortunately, increasing the amount of storage this way comes at considerable cost. In order to enable this, we have to remove the "save forever" option entirely for past broadcasts.

Quote:

Highlights will be saved indefinitely; however, they will now be limited to 2 hours in length. All prior highlights that you’ve made will be saved regardless of length.

As for existing past broadcasts, beginning three weeks from today, we will begin removing them from Twitch servers. If you would like to keep your past broadcasts, we encourage you to begin exporting or making highlights of your best moments so that they’re saved for posterity.

So y'all might want to do something about this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
