- For the game terminology, see hitbox.
hitbox.tv or hitbox for short is a website created for the purpose of sharing live video feeds (called "livestreams" or just "streams") on the Internet and is a smaller alternative to Twitch, popular for both Project M as well as streams for tournaments such as the Nebulous series.
Overview
Hitbox's primary purpose is to allow users to record themselves playing video games while others can watch in real-time as they play the game. The service has frequently seen use in high-profile tournaments as to allow interested viewers to spectate games or matches that they ordinarily cannot see live; outside of this, hitbox.tv has also seen use by casual players in order to merely record themselves playing for a public audience.
Streams recorded in hitbox.tv can also be uploaded to YouTube upon their conclusion; similar to YouTube, hitbox.tv also offers a partnership programmer that allows users to potentially monetize their streams.
