Mixerwas an American video game live streaming platform. The service launched on January 5, 2016, as Beam, under the ownership of co-founders Matthew Salsamendi and James Boehm. The service placed an emphasis on interactivity, with low stream latency and a platform for allowing viewers to perform actions that can influence a stream.
However, citing an inability to scale its operations, Microsoft announced on June 22, 2020 that Mixer would be shutting down by the end of July 22, and that an agreement had been made with Facebook for monetized channels to join similar programs on Facebook's game streaming platform. Microsoft officially shut down Mixer on July 22, 2020.[2]
On August 11, 2016, Beam was acquired by Microsoft for an undisclosed amount. The service's team was integrated into the Xbox division.[14][15][11] On October 26, 2016, Microsoft announced that Beam would be integrated into Windows 10.[16] Beam broadcasting was also integrated into Xbox One on the March 2017 software update.[17]
On May 25, 2017, Microsoft announced that Beam had been renamed Mixer, as the previous name could not be used globally.[18] The re-branding came alongside the introduction of several new features, such as the ability for a user to co-host up to three other streams on their channel at once, as well as the companion mobile app Mixer Create. It was also announced that Mixer would receive top-level integration within the Xbox One dashboard, with a new tab curating Mixer streams.[4]
On July 31, 2019, video game streamer Ninja announced that he would move exclusively from Twitch to Mixer beginning August 1. The deal was considered to be a major coup for Mixer, as Ninja had been among Twitch's top personalities, with over 14 million followers.[19][20][21] His wife and manager Jessica Blevins stated that the contract with Twitch had encumbered his ability to "grow his brand" outside of gaming, and that his interest in streaming had been deteriorating due to the perceived "toxic[ity]" of Twitch's community.[22]
A report by Streamlabs and Newzoo reported that in the third quarter of 2019, Mixer had a 188% quarter-by-quarter increase in the amount of unique hours of content being streamed on the service, but that the percentage of concurrent viewers had fallen by 11.7%.[23] Mixer founders Boehm and Salsamendi both left Microsoft in October 2019.[24][25] The same month, streamer Shroud also entered into an exclusivity agreement with Mixer,[26] followed shortly afterward by KingGothalion.[27]
On June 22, 2020, citing a poor market share and inability to scale in comparison to competing services, Microsoft announced that Mixer would be shut down on July 22, 2020. As part of an agreement to collaborate with Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms, Inc.) on aspects of its xCloud cloud gaming service, Mixer would redirect users to the Facebook Gaming service after it ceased operations, and some partnered streamers offered opportunities to join equivalent Facebook Gaming programs where applicable. Outstanding subscriptions and Embers were converted to Microsoft Store credit.[28] Mixer's employees were transferred to the Microsoft Teams division.[28] Meta Platforms, Inc. holds rights to Mixer trademarks.[29]

The main difference between the stand mixers is how bowls are attached. the tilt-head hinges back while the bowl-lift has a lever to raise and lower the bowl. Learn more about tilt-head vs bowl-lift stand mixers to find the right one for you.
The Kitchen Aid mixer is one of the finest appliances to have for so many things such as making fresh pasta and buttercream frosting. It is so efficient and quick to blend, that I rarely have success making a mashed potato I like. Want chunks in your finished mashed potatoes? Just too easy to overmix. The starch cells in the potato break down and you get a mushy or runny texture. My personal favorite tool for creamy mashed Idaho russets is to use a ricer for a smooth potato look that still has some texture and a little dryness.
Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
The Paint Mixer Brush is ideal for digitally simulating the mixing of wet paint applied to a canvas. As you drag the Paint Mixer Brush across the page, the colour currently on the brush blends with the colour on the page, smudging and mixing them together.
So the way I use the mixer-brush in photoshop is by setting the color/clean brush to a null color (basically cleans brush after each stroke) that way it becomes a blender for smoothing out or mixing colors together . Think of the smudge brush on steroids. Then I can control the amount of blending using the flow and mix settings. Does Photo's Paint Mixer Brush have any setting that would clean after each stroke? I think that might be the challenge I am having with it?
I understand your frustration cause I'm probably used to the same workflow as yours, I found really obvious that a auto-clean feature to check was necessary. i.e. When you skin retouching you make tons of quick and precise strokes (mainly in low frequency for me) in order to even the skin tones; so having to click Clean every time is just nuts.
Technically, it's a real problem. Theoretically, you can believe it's not if you find it useful. We don't. If you don't see it as a problem, it's because you never retouch on real life situations or used this tool. You probably shouldn't be answering before doing that. Being able to build a photo software doesn't include by default being aware of what's useful or not for a photographer, that's the reason of a forum.
It's not ME, it's just a bunch of retouchers and photographers with more experience than the makers of this software, who are clearly simply requesting for something basic to be included because it's just weird not to have it, like programmers don't understand why is important. If you don't see it basic, it's because, again, you possibly have no experience at all in retouching. "We don't have it"...well.....I can see it and you should't brag about it.
You should def listen to what people is listing here as missing features; through the whole forum the response to these issues is actually zero or, as in your case, mods are answering from a closed point of view "we do it like this and that's what it is".....looks to me like the Apple philosophy, take it or leave it.
For those doing skin retouching, have you guys found your solution? If not, please read on. I might have what you want without having to go crazy pressing the "Clean Brush" button before every stroke.
Just turn on the "Auto Load Brush" button, then set the color you are using to 0% opacity. There, your blender brush is clean and still works pushing the pixels around on your canvas without having to bother with the "Clean Brush" option. Hope this helps.
I don't exactly know which part you don't understand but you simply have to select the Paint Mixer Brush, then go to the Color Tab on the right of the interface and locate the Opacity Slider and drag it to 0%. You now have a brush that behaves very similar to the Smudge Tool but with a much softer touch to it. Go and try on some photograph and try to make one of the nostrils of the person bigger, for example, and you could see for yourself if the difference in feel and look mimics the Photoshop Mixer Brush that all the posters above are talking about. Thanks.
