bitheeranidas00

The reason is that recently there were reports online about the possible blocking of American platforms YouTube and Twitch in the Russian Federation. If this happens, Russian users will not only lose the opportunity to stream, but also will not be able to withdraw their earnings to their bank accounts. Therefore, users create accounts on Trovo primarily for reinsurance.

Now in numbers. The Game World Observer portal reported that at the wordpress web design agency beginning of 2022, the number of streamers from Russia on Twitch decreased by 28%. At the same time, the analytical service Stream Hatchet conducted a study, during which it turned out that in the same year, from February 24 to March 21, the number of Russian-speaking streamers on Trovo increased from 1.6 thousand to 9.2 thousand users, which amounted to 446%.

What is Trovo?
What is Trovo?

"Trovo" is a streaming platform. It was created by Tencent, a Chinese investment holding company. The distinctive feature of the service is the high quality of streams and minimal delay between the viewer and the content maker.





How to watch streams?
The platform allows you to watch streams from any device: phone, computer, laptop and tablet. There is not only a desktop version, but also an application that can be downloaded and installed on any smartphone.

Please note that the quality of the broadcast depends on the subscription and its level. The minimum quality is 144p, and the maximum is 1080p. If the viewer has a subscription to the channel of level 2 ($ 5) or 3 ($ 9), it becomes possible to watch streams in 1080p+ mode. This quality is considered premium, you will not find it even on streams on YouTube and Twitch.

What is Mana and what is it for?
What is Mana and what is it for?

Mana (mana) are points that can be earned for watching streams on Trovo, provided that you are registered and logged in under your nickname. You can get 20 points for five minutes of viewing. A regular user without a subscription can accumulate up to 960 mana units per day.

IMPORTANT! When collecting mana, do not forget to click on it within 48 hours so that it is credited to the account and does not burn out.

When viewers spend their mana to watch a streamer's broadcast, they accumulate it to launch a "Boost Projekt" rocket. These rockets help the user get to the sidebar on the site for all users. When a streamer accumulates mana to launch a rocket, it goes into their inventory and they can use it at their own discretion for two weeks.

In 7 days, the user can earn five rockets:

first rocket - 50 thousand points;
the second rocket - 100 thousand points;
the third rocket - 250 thousand points;
the fourth rocket - 500 thousand points;
fifth rocket - 1,000 thousand points.
Don't forget that every Monday at 00:00 UTC (2:00 Moscow time) the rocket's mana counter is reset.

IMPORTANT! Each streamer who spends a lot of points can get to the top of the site in an hour. The top 6 users, whose viewers spend the most mana, automatically get to the main page of the platform for another hour. It turns out that the key to success on Trovo is active viewers. This is the logic of the service.

What is Elixir?
Elixir is a paid (donate) currency on the platform. Having bought it, you can donate to the streamer you like.
