What time will Ninja go live on Mixer?
The streaming star won’t be starting out life on Mixer with an early morning stream, however. He is scheduled to go live at 12pm CST – but the actual start could take a few minutes if his epic intro makes the move too.
However, don’t fret if you don’t know what time that will be in your timezone. 12pm CST is 6:00 PM BST, 1:00 PM EDT, 10:00 AM PDT, 3:00 AM AEST, and 7:00 PM CEST.

Who is Ninja’s Friday Fortnite partner?
With this being Friday Fortnite, Ninja obviously needs a partner to help him take a shot at duos glory – and who better than the reigning world champion!
The streamer will be teaming up with 16-year-old Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf, who recently won the top prize at the Fortnite World Cup.
Bugha scooped up $3 million thanks to his solo World Cup win.Fans who want to support their favorite streamer can do so by picking up a free month’s subscription when they sign up to Mixer and claim the exclusive offer on Ninja’s new channel.
Viewers who aren’t committed to a monthly payment and instead want to toss Blevins a few dollars through donations and bits won’t have to worry either. That can still happen via Mixer but bits are instead called ‘Embers’ and come attached with Ninja-themed on-screen emotes.
One thing that may come as a shock to some fans is that they won’t be able to clip highlight moments like on Twitch. That privilege is reserved for the streamer himself, as he can pick and choose when to create a highlight.
