X BOOSTS LIVE VIDEO WITH NEW STUDIO AND CREATOR PAYOUTS

Live Studio simplifies the desktop setup process for streamers with an updated interface integrated into Creator Studio. The platform now includes chat control options, allowing creators to moderate interactions in real time, and custom thumbnail support for video previews. The new command center consolidates livestreaming tools in one location, reducing friction for creators managing broadcasts. These features address common pain points in live content production—setup complexity, audience engagement, and presentation quality. The payout expansion signals X's commitment to competing in the live video space alongside YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms. By offering financial incentives alongside improved tooling, X aims to attract creators who depend on streaming revenue. The updates arrive as X continues rebuilding advertiser relationships and creator trust following recent platform changes. Live video represents a key growth area for engagement and monetization across social platforms.
