Other social apps punish links — we think linking out should be easy. Live Now is part of how we're making that happen.

While in beta, Live Now is currently limited to Twitch links. Support for other streaming platforms may follow as we learn from the beta.

MMFA post 1/14/26: X (formerly Twitter) is releasing new Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Media Matters for America does not accept these new terms. You can still find us elsewhere: Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and of course, at mediamatters.org, where we are still full speed ahead calling out right-wing media misinformation.
