Streamers Map helps you discover content creators by region using an interactive map. Explore channels, find creators connected to specific areas, save your favorites, and check which channels are live. The app is designed to give more visibility to small and mid-sized creators who are often overshadowed by larger channels. With Streamers Map you can: • Explore creators on a map by country, region, or province. • Search for specific channels. • Save channels so you can find them again more easily. • Check your saved channels. • See live channels when supported by the platform. • Add new channels to help the map keep growing. The goal is to support creator discovery and help more channels gain visibility, especially those that are just starting out or do not yet have a large audience. Privacy notice: the locations shown are approximate and randomly generated within the selected region or province. They do not show where a creator lives or any real address. Streamers Map only represents the area from which the channel says they create content or stream.
