Mixer was an American video game livestreaming platform. It launched on January 5, 2016 as Beam, under the ownership of co-founders Matthew Salsamendi and James Boehm. The service placed an emphasis on interactivity, with low stream latency and a platform for allowing viewers to perform actions that can influence a stream.
Mixer was acquired by Microsoft in August 2016 and rebranded as Mixer in 2017. It was included in the Xbox One.
The service shut down on July 22, 2020, citing an inability to scale its operations. The Mixer website redirects to Facebook Gaming.
