Twitch uses mediators like OBS and Xsplit currently if someone is just starting up with streaming to handle technical issues and other Twitch integrations. But with Twitch Studio, the streaming platform looks forward to eliminating the need for any middleman and handle all the stuff on its own.
Since Twitch Studio is still in beta mode, as of now, only limited features like activity feed, alerts, and chat that allows you to engage with your fans are available. But once the full version goes live, it will have capture cards and in-game overlay support too.
Twitch Studio is currently only available as a closed beta for now however, you can apply to join.
