twitcam

live video broadcast on Twitter/X

noun TWEET-kam Rare

Usage Note

Twitcam was a live-streaming service integrated with Twitter, popular in the early 2010s before being shut down. In Italian social-media discourse the term survives as a nostalgic reference or is used loosely for any live Twitter-connected broadcast. It is invariable and used with feminine gender (la twitcam). It is now largely obsolete, replaced by Twitter Spaces or live streaming.

Examples

"Stasera faccio una twitcam con i miei follower."

Natural Translation

Tonight I'm doing a live stream with my followers.
