As the coronavirus continues to impact people socially and economically, Soundcloud and Twitch have united to help musicians and creators earn income for those that have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak. The new partnership will allow all SoundCloud Pro, SoundCloud Premier and Repost by SoundCloud creators to have their Twitch Affiliate status fast-tracked for free which will allow creators the ability to earn revenue from performances streamed on Twitch. Just like with YouTube, there will be an approval process and affiliate access is not guaranteed.
SoundlCloud said in an official statement, “It’s an unsettling time for everyone right now, and we know COVID-19 has been especially hard on musicians who were scheduled to play live shows over the next few months…many creators are turning to live video streaming platforms to connect with their fans.”
