What is Crowd Control?

Crowd Control is an innovative video game application that elevates community engagement to the next level. It enables the viewers of a streamer to interact with the games they play in real-time while also providing an opportunity for the streamer to earn additional income.

Crowd Control has already been utilized by over 70,000 creators since it was initially launched as a Twitch-only app. The latest 2.0 beta version of the app is now accessible on multiple platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and Facebook Gaming. The app's development has been a challenging journey involving multiple technical hurdles and experiments. However, now the app is compatible with almost any platform.

Crowd Control's current status

Currently, Crowd Control follows the standard split for Twitch plug-ins, retaining 20% of the payments made by fans to creators. However, as a multiplatform app, Crowd Control appears to be sidestepping Twitch's coin-based system. Other creator platforms, such as Fanhouse, have taken comparable measures to bypass App Store fees and maximize the profit of creators.

CEO Matthew “Jaku” Jakubowski clarified that viewers' payments are not limited to a single channel on Crowd Control. For example, if a viewer pays $100, they will receive coins worth $100, which they can spend on any channel they desire.

Despite having only ten team members, Crowd Control has an experienced workforce, most of whom were once creators themselves. Jaku, the CEO, began his streaming journey by playing Super Mario Maker on Twitch in 2015, eventually becoming a Twitch Partner. In 2018, he created the software that inspired Crowd Control, which he used to enhance his Borderlands 2 streams.
