Mixer merges with Facebook: All the info on streaming for gamers

With Mixer, Microsoft was able to make a name for itself in the market of hip gaming streams. Nevertheless, the portal has now been shut down. We have all the info on the merger with Facebook and the new service.

New strategy: Microsoft discontinues Mixer and becomes a partner of Facebook Gaming.

Facebook has long given streamers the opportunity to host their broadcasts. However, Twitch continues to lead the market, followed by YouTube. The collaboration between the two giants Facebook and Microsoft is set to change this.

Mixer will end, Facebook Gaming is set to grow

Here's the overview of the situation:

• Mixer will henceforth cease to exist (deadline: July 22, 2020).
• The community is to switch to Facebook Gaming as completely as possible. Microsoft will act as an official partner.
• Any remaining user credits on Mixer will be replaced by Xbox credits to compensate.
• Active Mixer streamers will automatically become streamers on Facebook Gaming including the monetization program called "Level Up".

The billion-dollar streaming market will thus be reduced by one name; in return, an existing player will become all the stronger in the future. You can learn more about the big change in the info banner at the top of the Facebook Gaming homepage.
