“If you’re used to using the Twitch Desktop App, we recommend bookmarking Twitch.tv in your browser of choice for easy access.”

Fans have had mixed reactions online.

Some joked that no one uses the Twitch desktop app but others were very disappointed.

One user tweeted: “Twitch killing its desktop app is quite frankly, garbage. Thanks for nothing, Twitch.”
