Formas de interacción en la plataforma Twitch: categoría Just Chatting +Valorant

Abstract

This research analyzes how the interactions between streamers and their communities develop within the Twitch platform of the "Just chatting + Valorant" category. The methodology used is a qualitative approach of exploratory and visual descriptive type using the method of digital ethnography. As data collection techniques, 4 live broadcasts of 2 streamers, one national and one international of the category "Just chatting + Valorant", and a focus group to 13 users of the Twitch platform, were observed. The results obtained through data collection show that interaction with a small-audience streamer is more rewarding than with a large audience streamer. That is, streamers who don't have many viewers have more opportunity to respond instantly than streamers who have a lot of chat messages per second. It was also evident that the virtual communities of a streamer come to group people from different parts of the world. Both streamers stood out in their performance from the songs they used during the transmissions to the decoration, illumination and technology that made their streams of very good quality.
