Stream Sniping: A Disruptive Practice
Stream sniping is the act of watching a live stream of a video game player to gain an unfair advantage in the same game. Snipers use the streamed content to discern the streamer's location, strategies, and other crucial information that would normally be hidden.
How it Works: A stream sniper will enter the same game or match as the streamer. They then use the streamer's live video feed (which is often delayed by a few seconds) to pinpoint the streamer's position on the in-game map, anticipate their moves, and otherwise exploit their knowledge of the streamer's gameplay.

Many game developers and streaming services actively combat stream sniping by implementing features such as stream delays, or by allowing streamers to report suspected snipers.
