UNF professor using gaming site to help students

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A University of North Florida Chemistry professor is tapping into the trend of online gaming. He's making himself available to students on a popular streaming platform for gamers -- called "Twitch." Professor Josh Melko has been using 'Twitch' for office hours for more than a year and he says the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Melko said he wants his students to come in person during office hours, but the reality is some are intimidated or don't have the time. Melko says during his live stream, students can ask about specific homework questions or it could be broader, for example, what should I do with my career.

Germany shooting suspect appears to have livestreamed attack online

Read full article: Germany shooting suspect appears to have livestreamed attack online

Photo by Jens Schlueter/Getty Images(CNN) - A gunman who killed two people -- one outside a synagogue and one in a kebab shop -- in the German town of Halle on Wednesday appears to have streamed the attack live online. A 35-minute video, which appears to have been filmed with a camera mounted on the helmet of the attacker, was streamed live on Twitch, an online video streaming platform owned by Amazon that is most commonly used to stream live video of videogames. The suspected attacker launched into a brief anti-Semitic rant at one point in the video. The footage, which was filmed in a first-person shooter perspective, bears striking resemblances to the video streamed live on Facebook by the suspect in the Christchurch attack in New Zealand in March. The company added: "Twitch has a zero-tolerance policy against hateful conduct, and any act of violence is taken extremely seriously.

Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf, the 16-year-old who won $3 million in the Fortnite World Cup, was the victim of a "swatting" prank Saturday as he was livestreaming on Twitch. On the livestream, Giersdorf could be heard saying, "I've been swatted." Altogether, it took about a half-hour to resolve the situation, Werner said, adding it's believed the call originated from Europe. Giersdorf's father told ABC News he had a message for whoever carried out the prank.

(CNN) - Just two weeks ago, Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf won the $3 million championship in the Fortnite World Cup's solo competition. Kyle was in the middle of livestreaming a round of "Fortnite" on the video platform Twitch when he suddenly left the screen. The idea is to lure a SWAT team or other response team to the person's house. When Kyle came back to the livestream, he explained the situation, saying the SWAT team came in with guns. In April, a 17-year-old was charged with 40 felony and 33 misdemeanor delinquency charges in Ohio after making a number of prank swatting calls.
