Part 1: How It Works

Every hour, six streams are chosen at random from all streamers who are currently live (and have been for at least 15 minutes) on the platform and opted in to show on the homepage. The category you are streaming in does not matter, everyone has the same chance of being selected. If you are chosen for the feature, you will be featured on the homepage for 1 full hour - if you have any connection issues or need to restart your stream, do not worry, your slot is reserved for that full hour, so your stream will show up again when you reconnect.

Of those 6 featured streams, one stream is randomly shown in the “top spot” on the homepage, this is randomly selected for each person who visits the homepage.

Before opting in there are some requirements you will need to adhere to:
  • Show on Homepage must be checked
  • Must have streamed for at least 10 hours total on Glimesh
  • No previous disciplinary actions
  • Current stream must be live for at least 15 minutes
