Going forward, Twitch highlights will no longer be accepted for submissions. This comes after Twitch made the decision to cap highlights at 100 hours total, meaning that anyone with over 100 hours of saved highlights to their Twitch will have their highlights automatically deleted on April 19, 2025.

If your runs are on Twitch as highlights and you'd like to move them to another platform for safekeeping, it's strongly advised you either export your highlight to another platform, preferably YouTube, through Twitch's video producer or download your runs off Twitch and manually reupload somewhere else. It's also recommended that you update your runs currently on the leaderboard with a new link for wherever it was reuploaded. YouTube is strongly preferred as a video platform, but not a hard requirement.

This decision will not affect runs that are already verified on the leaderboard; we will not delete any runs that already exist on the board. However, we still encourage everyone to reupload and edit as many of their submissions as they can to prevent losing any of our history. Reuploading would be especially helpful if you're currently over the 100 hour limit and will have your highlights deleted. Runners with less than 100 hours of highlights on their Twitch will be unaffected by automatic deletions but will lose the ability to create new highlights after reaching the limit; even if you aren't at the limit yet, it may be worth it to reupload your runs elsewhere to make room for other highlights you may want in the future.

TLDR, future submissions that use a Twitch highlight will no longer be verified and will instead be rejected with a note to reupload elsewhere before submitting again. Please preserve your speedruns on other platforms like YouTube and edit your existing leaderboard submissions!
