* LiveEpisode: The main Yogscast Twitch channel has done daily livestreams with varying streamers streaming 3 or 6 hour slots. The Yogscast also do a live charity donation drive every December called the Yogscast Jingle Jam. Several members who have done only [=YouTube=] have put their YouTube content on hold to do Twitch or regularly put out both recorded videos and streams.

The Yogscast are an independent network of Website/YouTube video producers, mostly based in their offices in Bristol, but also include people across the United Kingdom and around the world. They produce video game [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] and the occasional review for entertainment. They were members of Creator/{{Polaris}} until 2016, when they founded their own network and parted ways with Polaris due to differences of opinion in how copyright issues should be handled. Begun by Lewis Brindley (Xephos) and Simon Lane (Honeydew) in 2008 as a way of showing Simon's comedic talents to the world, by 2011, the Yogscast grew into multiple channels with different video producers focusing on different sorts of games. The "gaijin rock" band, Music/{{Area 11}}, is also associated with Yog Towers and do their own Let's Plays.

The situation got worse on July 21, 2014, when it was revealed that over [[http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/21/yogscast-declines-to-comment-on-claim-it-received-150000-of-yogventures-kickstarter-money/ two-thirds]] of the remaining funds raised during the Website/{{Kickstarter}} had mysteriously disappeared. Lewis made a statement on [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/2b4jgb/update_from_lewis_re_yogventures/ Reddit]] saying that the initial statement "omitted much", but said that he was not prepared to go into detail on the situation.
