Steam has launched its own streaming service, allowing people to watch other Steam users directly through the Steam interface.
The service lets you simply watch friends games instantly, and broadcast your gameplay instantly.
The service gives Steam its own, propriety rival to major streaming platforms such as Twitch. Considering that Valve delivers some of Twitch’s biggest games in Dota 2 and Counter Strike, developments with this platform will be very interesting.
To sample Steam Broadcasting for yourself, simply update your client to accept beta participation.
