With the announcement of Twitch introducing a 100h highlight storage limit, we think it's right to announce our stance on it. On April 19th Twitch will start deleting your highlights starting from the least viewed one, if the cumulative video length of all your highlights exceed 100 hours. This affects a huge amount of speedrunners, and will very likely result in huge amount of history lost. So we urge people to preserve their submitted runs with the easiest method being using the export to YouTube feature within Twitch. Then editing your submission with the new video link. This will put it back in our verifier queue but we will try to re-verify it as quickly as possible. Now how this affects our current ruling requiring permanent video storage:

We will continue to allow Twitch highlights for submissions.

Our reasoning behind that decision is that while Twitch will delete videos until you're below the 100h storage limit, the videos are still permanent if you're below the threshold and you just can't highlight any more runs if you're above the 100h limit. This is in no way different to Google Drive, which has a storage limit, but we also allow for submissions.

This does not affect our ruling that runs need to have a video to be on the boards. This means that we might reject runs that were previously verified, if we find out or get notified that the video got deleted. So we highly recommend you to not use Twitch and use a more long-term solution like YouTube.
