You can now watch your favorite Twitch streams on your Android TV device. The company announced that with its new app, you can not only view live streams, but also recorded ones featuring top games, players, and events. Additionally, you’ll be able to follow channels and games while also viewing profile pages to learn more about the broadcasters.

While the company has brought its technology to Android TV, it still lacks one for the new Apple TV device, although there are some workarounds.
