In this episode of *What Is a DJ?**, we take a look inside the world of **Twitch DJs* and how livestreaming changed DJ culture.
What started as another way to broadcast music became something much bigger—especially when clubs and venues shut down. DJs from around the country found a new way to perform, build communities, make friendships, raid other channels, interact with viewers, and connect with people they may have never met otherwise.
But Twitch DJing also comes with its own challenges.
In this documentary, DJs talk about what it's really like performing for a crowd you can't see, building an online community, dealing with copyright issues, making money, competition, friendships, cliques, technical problems, and the good and bad that comes with being part of the Twitch DJ scene.
Most importantly, this documentary lets the DJs tell the story in their own words.
