Trovo is a live streaming platform that launched in 2020. It is primarily focused on gaming, but also hosts other types of content such as music, talk shows, and creative streams. Trovo is similar to Twitch in many ways, but has its own unique approach. The platform is developed by Tencent, one of the largest tech companies in China, which means that Trovo has access to significant resources to support the service.
A key feature of Trovo is its rewards system for streamers. Instead of just earning money through donations or ads, streamers can also earn “Elixir,” Trovo’s virtual currency. Viewers can give Elixir to their favorite streamers, which directly supports them financially.
