Kick adds new clip feature Twitch fans have wanted for ages
In an announcement on X, Kick revealed that a couple of very popular features had just gone live and urged viewers to keep the feature requests coming.
The announcement said that chat replays would now be available for both VODs and clips, along with a special download option for viewers to quickly save big moments.
Having a download option should make the ability to save clips a lot easier, while the chat being visible can give viewers the chance to see what the broadcast was like when big moments happen.
While the chat replay isn’t anything new, the download functionality is definitely a big deal and one that users are very excited for, calling it a “W” update.
It’s anyone’s guess what Kick has up its sleeve next, but for now, Twitch fans will need to look on in envy as clips just became a lot more accessible on the rival platform.
