Multi-brand TV Manufacturer Vestel adds Twitch to Smart TVs

February 23, 2021 11.51 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Vestel is rolling out a Twitch app across all of its smart TV ranges.

The manufacturer, which produces sets under the Hitachi, JVC, Telefunken, and Techwood brands, is offering one-click access through a Twitch button on its TV remote controls.

The app is being made available on all Vestel smart TVs produced since 2018.

Those with Twitch accounts will be able to sign in on the TVs, so that they can keep up with the latest live broadcasts from the streamers they follow.

“We are extremely proud to be able to launch Twitch on our Smart TVs,” said Barýþ Altýnkaya, Deputy General Manager of Marketing and Product Management, Vestel. “With this addition to our app line-up, we can connect everyone at home to an endless library of live entertainment that covers everything from games, sports, and travel to cooking and talk shows.”

Sajjad Rehman, Director of Business Development at Twitch added, “Twitch is first and foremost a community which comes together to experience live entertainment, based on their passions and fuelled by interactivity. And there is no more important community than a family. Bringing Twitch into the living room through the Vestel TV’s will make it even easier for even more communities to come together for those never to be repeated moments which take on Twitch every second.”

Vestel’s latest range of smart TVs have screen sizes of up to 58”, 65” and 75”, many with 4K HDR. They also feature live streams of games including League of Legends and Fortnite.
