Beam is already a well known brand as the Microsoft acquisition that got renamed to Mixer, and then sold to Facebook, and was the gaming community's favorite Twitch alternative.

Any reason for the name collision?

Our brand is Beam.gg, we are not affiliated with Microsoft's old streaming platform and didn't have it in mind when we created the name. We just thought of something that sounded cool and was easy to understand!
