As a Catalan streamer I love to watch other catalan streamers. But twitch plataform don't allow me to set that my videos are in catalan because I can't specify that I'm streaming in catalan. I must choose: "Others".

This situation creates a problem for at least 11.000.000 people that lives in places where the main language is catalan because we have no easy method to find videos/streams in our language.

For that reason, We will really appreciate that twitch adds Catalan language as an option on Language settings of Live Streams.

NOTE: that we are not asking to translate the whole platform. We only want an easy way for catalans and any other existant language to filter the content and classifty it.

Thanks in advance for your support.

This is not to take away from the improvements that have already been made, and are being implemented. The work that is being done is greatly appreciated.
However, further change is needed to better protect streamers for banned users. Merely preventing chatting is not enough to deter harassment, stalking, or intrusive bot behavior.

Most people are aware that measures often can be circumvented, that is not an excuse for the lack of protection that currently exists.
Streamers need a way to completely cut off a user from content. I believe the proposed measures are reasonable, and will also provide protection against abuse as well as preventing intrusive bots from squatting in channels without permission.

The proposed changes are:
1. A banned user is prevented from connecting to a channel's chat completely, which means their name does not appear in the list of viewers.
2. A banned user is prevented from viewing the stream itself, on site or using other means.
3. A banned user is blocked from subscribing and following, and will be automatically unsubscribed and / or unfollowed.
4. A banned user is prevented from viewing any other channel information and content, including the streamer's panels, VODs, clips, followers, and followed accounts.
5. A streamer must be able to toggle an option to treat logged out viewers similarly as a banned user, preventing any access until they log in.

Additionally, to prevent excessive account creation, the following measures should be implemented as well:
6. Accounts need to be verified by e-mail.
7. Limit the amount of accounts per e-mail, to 1 or at a maximum 2.
8. Limit the amount of accounts that can be created from a single IP address per day.

Thank you for your consideration.

Please allow streamers to remove people from their follower's list. As a small streamer, I struggle with trolls, and I have made many streamer friends who have had the same experiences as me. On more than one occasion I have banned a troll from chat and had them return with upwards of 3 other accounts, sometimes even up to 10 or 15 other accounts during one stream. (Keep in mind my average stream is about 2.5 hours, and I try my best to not acknowledge or encourage the trolls at all, I just ban them and move on.) They follow each time they return, adding new but empty follows to the follower count.

I have had trolls return with new usernames that target my mods, or reference something that was said earlier in the stream, or even referencing their past usernames that were previously banned. Their follows are meaningless because they will likely never return with that account that they made to troll a specific streamer.

Many streamers try to keep track of their follower to viewer ratio as they grow. To see what they're doing wrong or right, and to see what helps them grow or makes them lose followers. Having those empty follows of people who will never return is quite a problem.

Here are a few of my suggestions:

- Automatically removing someone from the follower's list if they get banned in chat.

- Giving streamers the option to view their banned chatters list and manually remove the follow themselves.

- Remove the option to make multiple accounts with one verified email address. (This enables trolls to make new accounts in just a couple of minutes and quickly return to keep harassing a streamer)

- If a streamer has banned several usernames that share the same email, allow the streamer to ban the entire email address and any associated usernames.

- If a streamer has banned several usernames that share the same email, allow the streamer to remove any and all usernames that are associated with that email from their follower list.

Trolls will not keep me from streaming, but implementing at least one (if not several) of these ideas would be a huge help to me and many other streamers out there. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Add custom level category for an increasing community of players that are streaming custom made games or levels such as TRLE levels (tomb raider level editor/ trle.net). Could also apply to other games with custom maps/mods etc.

There is a steadily increasing audience for these levels and it is detrimental to the streamer to have to set the game as "tomb raider the last revelation" most of the time, purely because this is the engine used, but not actually what is being streamed. People will open the stream for tomb raider 4 but leave when its not actually tomb raider 4.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

There are people on Twitch, who have a program that allows bot spamming in chats. They buy accounts somewhere in the form of login:oauth:token and connect them to their program.
They used to spam ads to promote themselves, now they do that to create conflicts between streamers or just to mess with streamers.

It is possible to get an Oauth:token through the Twitch API request, using apps verified by Twitch.
If I understood correctly from the developer's words, Twitch can get info about a token that sent the message.

What do I suggest to deal with the problem is to add a form to a channel settings in order to put there the names of users (bots), which can send messages in chat using oauth:token got by a 3rd party app.

I think it'll be the most effective way to deal with spammers because in most cases the accounts used for spamming are stolen ones and users whose accounts were stolen wouldn't be happy to find out they were banned from some channels because someone was spamming from their accounts.

Since a year has already passed since the last time people talked about it here I’ll write again
Everyone who makes clips will agree that it is inconvenient to look for a clip, you know the name, which was a long time ago, but to find it, you need to scroll a lot of clips

Search by clip name in the clip manager, because if you made a clip a year ago, and you are looking for a clip in the manager on that channel on which you are looking for a clip, you should look for more than 1000 clips for a long time, even if you remember the name of the clip

After a recent update to version 5.8 on January 17, 2018 a feature on iOS mobile was removed to be able to "pinch to zoom" in on areas of the stream. Being on mobile with an already smaller screen, when I'm watching Magic: The Gathering streams, it's really important for me to be able to zoom in on the various cards to read details of the print. With this new update, the streams are locked into the "full screen" view and it makes it much more difficult to view.

Is there a possibility to reintroduce the "pinch to zoom" functionality in a future update? There is currently a reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/7rf8l6/was_ability_to_zoom_pinch_removed_in_the_latest/

where another user is concerned about the same update

Greetings,
My name is Brandon Cole, and I am a totally blind Twitch streamer and viewer, as well as an accessibility consultant for video games, and an advocate for accessibility for the blind. I am attempting to climb the ranks as a streamer, and have currently reached
affiliate status. However, this is not without its struggles. I have been forced to commission a friend of mine to log into my Twitch account to export
my videos to my Youtube channel. I've had to do this because the screen for exporting videos is not accessible with screen reading software. I have tried
multiple screen reading solutions, and multiple browsers, and the issue persists. This screen used to work perfectly, but after Twitch went through one
of its more recent series of changes, that and a couple other screens became inaccessible. You can perhaps imagine my shock when I discovered I also wasn't
able to subscribe to a Twitch streamer I liked because that screen was now inaccessible as well. Again, this is another screen that used to work fine.

I would like to ask that accessibility to the visually impaired receives some consideration. i am not the only blind Twitch streamer out there, and I can
tell you we'd really appreciate it. Test with screen readers, one of which, (NVDA), is free, find out what the export screen, the edit video info screen,
and the subscription screen have in common, and potentially fix them. If that cannot be done, provide an alternative page for the visually impaired that
functions differently. You are, in one sense, already doing this with the subs.twitch.tv page, which I learned about from Dr. Lupo. This is a viable workaround
for blind people, as this page functions perfectly for subscribing. If the ability to gift a sub can be added to that page, and if pages can be created
so we can do the other things mentioned here ourselves, we will be most grateful. I would not hesitate to shout your greatness to everyone if you were
to do this for us. Please, please let me know if you have any other questions, and if by chance there's any way I can help. Thank you, and have an amazing
day!

Creative and IRL categories have been available, in some form, on Twitch for nearly 3 years now, ever since the Bob Ross series was marathoned. Yet, despite the existence of these categories, people are woefully unaware of the existence of any of them, except the biggest two: Just chatting, and Music and performing arts. The latter of which is usually overrun by 24/7 radio channels, while Just chatting is still a "catch-all" category for even content that should be categorized under the specific ones (eg. Travel and outdoors, etc).

It's not uncommon for people to comment along the lines of "wow, I didn't know people were streaming this on Twitch" when a Creative channel is raided by a Gaming channel, or when a musician is raided by a Gaming channel. "Actual talent on Twitch" is a bit of a meme now, which I've heard so often myself.

My suggestion:
https://www.twitch.tv/directory needs to change. Instead of mixing in the non-gaming categories with the gaming one, and sorting them by viewership, pin the non-gaming categories to the very top regardless of viewership counts. These categories desperately need the exposure, and have some of the most unique content on Twitch (and most of Twitch is still unaware of their existence). This will not impact the gaming channels, as people already know that Twitch is a platform that started off as a game streaming platform. The gaming categories can follow below the non-gaming ones, and will still be sorted by viewership.

People need to know that these categories exist, so that more people will explore them, and discover the unique streamers. Streamers who have so much creativity to share with the rest of Twitch.

As an affiliate who is succeeding in grabbing a wonderful community of viewers and subscribers, I would love for them to receive what they deserve for their patronage to both me and Twitch. I believe that Partners should 100% be allotted more emotes for their success, but the same could be said for us affiliates. I understand that can be difficult to do considering you (Twitch) wants to have more benefits for partners. However, I believe there is a middle ground that could be met and I have a few ideas that I will list to give us hard working affiliates, and our subscribers, more incentive.

1. There could be a more strict/ more difficult amount of sub points for an affiliate to receive an extra Tier 1 emote slot, such as :
One Emote: Base
Two Emotes: 25 sub points
Three Emotes: 50 sub points
Etc...
(So basically the Partner Emote Milestones, but a new one for us Affiliates)

2. Remove the option for higher tier subscription options to allow for more emote slots in lower tiers.

3. Viewership Milestones, once the affiliate has reached an average concurrent viewership over a 30 day spread of X amount of viewers they are given Y extra emotes.

These were just some ideas that I personally had, I believe option 1 to be VERY do-able. I and so many others hope to see progress in this area in the future!
Thank you,

TheLuffyTV
