For starting streamers, this could be good news.
Utilizing several platforms to grow your twitch following could absolutely be a good thing.
Of course, there are some caveats.
These are the rules for simulcasting, according to Twitch:
- Ensure the quality streamed to Twitch (during simulcast) is at a minimum the same quality as any other service you stream to
- Do not provide any links (or otherwise direct your audience) to the other platforms
- Do not use third-party services that combine activity from other platforms on your Twitch stream during your simulcast. This includes merging chat from other services onto your Twitch stream.
If rules are not followed, you will receive a warning prior to any punishment(s) towards your Twitch channel.
