Join us live on Twitch (and YouTube)
Hello dual-screen and foldable device developers,
Those of you following us on Twitter will have noticed in recent weeks that we’ve been inviting you to join a livestream each Friday (11am Pacific; 2pm Eastern; 8pm in Europe). We just recently celebrated 12 episodes over the past three months!
If you haven’t joined us yet, in this post I’ll share some more details about Twitch and how it can help you enhance your apps for Microsoft Surface Duo.

What is Twitch?
Twitch is a live streaming platform that was originally created for gamers to share their experiences online. Over time, it has expanded to include a variety of content including art creation, music, podcasts/talkshows, and live coding. Twitch is free to use, so you can join us without even creating an account (although you must login before participating in the live chat).
Surface Duo developer livestreams
The Surface Duo Developer Experience team is streaming at twitch.tv/surfaceduodev. The content is a mix of developer discussion, announcements, and live coding. Each week we’ll provide more background on our blog posts, share any tips and tricks we’ve learned, and answer your questions via the live chat. We’re also looking forward to topic suggestions from you, via Twitter or our Tech Community forum.
The last few streams are available to watch on the Twitch channel page.
YouTube
There is also a YouTube channel for Surface Duo developer content, which includes videos and playlists of training content, conference talks, as well as our Twitch stream archive.
