I have some freinds who really want to stream, however they are on the new generation Ipv6 connection.

I learned recently that twitch does NOT allow users to stream on IPV6 Because the homepage and the streaming servers are on IPV4, old generation network connectivity.

If it was me, and I didn't bother to stream, then fine, IPV4 is good enough on a minimal level. But for me, I care about my network connectivity, esp when using IPV6, I love that IPV6 is encrypted at the IP level, making them more secure than IPV4, which still is plaqued at sniffling and application layer exploits.

At the moment, the internet is needing of updating, twitch is still not updated to IPV6, a stronger, faster, and better connection.

NOT TO MENTION, Your 1.7 million broadcasters will be loads better, since IPV6 PEERING helps all of your streamers streaming better quality.
Please do this!

Hej there, yesterday i had a troll in my channel. Nothing special...

Ignored him, banned him without reaction. Done
5 Mins later hes back with a new account. 1 sentence - banned.

I know, it is not possible to turn this off, but why does a Ban not include the ban of the Ip? Yes, the User could restart his Router/modem, get a new Ip and come back, but this would be a lot more work then just creating a new account.

If this is possible, maybe this would be an idea to make the life of trolls harder a little bit.

Basically the name says it all, yes twitch has come out with a twitch music library; however, I find the content to be very sub par. Instead, since twitch now has the function to link to your Amazon account it would be interesting to see if they could make the music on your stream available to those who are Prime subscribers as long as you us Amazon Music.

I'm not sure if this is possible as I'm not positive if twitch can split the audio portion of the stream. I know they can mute the audio completely but I'm sure there would have to be a separate plugin for the streaming software such as xsplit and OBS. I do know that in OBS you can add an additional audio output device and I would be fine with wearing earbuds to hear my music, but it would be nice for those viewing the stream as well.

Again not sure if this is possible and I'm not a quote "streamer" with the exception I stream once in a blue moon. But I watch streams constantly and it sucks that the past broadcast will be muted if a streamer decides to play music (not from the twitch library) when they're live.

Let me know what you think,

Please add a Follow button to the viewer card in chat. Specifically the class "tw-bottom-0 viewer-card_actions". For non-techs, the Viewer Card is the pop-up that happens when you click someone's name in chat.

A good amount of streamers like to shout out people in their chat who also stream, or based on a chat discussion, you may want to follow someone who is participating in chat. It's a poor choice of design flow that a button exists to "Add Friend" but not to Follow them. It would be much easier to have a button right there in the Viewer Card instead of having to click their name, click their name in the Viewer Card to get to their page, then click the follow button there as their host stream is loading and battling for your bandwidth.

Pretty please, with sugar and cherries and minimal dev effort. Thank you.

Hi guys, this is probably a purely subjective case that I present, but at the same time I'm sure I'm not the only bilingual streamer out there.
So, I decided to try and bring together a logical post about how and why allowing streamers to be listed in two different languages is helpful to those streamers.

First: The Problem.
Streaming in one language and one language only is restrictive to bilingual streamers. People who want to increase their audience are forced to choose only one language, and viewers can't discover them.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about by browsing the overwatch section, in Chinese and once more, in English. Let's use a bilingual streamer that speaks both Chinese and English as an example. That streamer is forced to be listed in one language's directory or another. The streamer cannot be listed in both language's directories.
Second: Being discovered.
I streamed in English today for the first time. Let's compare this to the day before where I streamed in Chinese.
Today's stream (listed in English directory) - https://imgur.com/h6RnN8e
Stream from Wednesday (listed in Chinese directory) - https://imgur.com/jCnMGSA
For both of these streams, I was physically at Computex - a trade show that is comparable to Consumer Electronics Show, but this takes place every summer in Taipei. These two screenshots conclusively display that when I stream in English, I have less viewers, when I stream in Chinese, I get more. But maybe half of my viewers come from the browse page.
The solution: Allow users to list themselves in a maximum of two language directories on Twitch. The reason why I am against using more than two language tags for a streaming session is because this could be abused to be listed in pretty much every language section.
If a streamer is lying about being bilingual and enough reports flow in, then I suggest that the community managers of a region be able to take away their bilingual tags.
Finally, how do we define "bilingual"? I have an undergraduate degree in Chinese language and literature and I speak a little Korean, but I wouldn't call myself "functional" in Korean, but of course I wouldn't be against a sort of "closed beta" program where twitch admins allow users to individually apply for bilingual streamer permissions. Faker would qualify, ToyZ would qualify, S1mple and a lot of CS:GO streamers would qualify for this. I guess it would be logical for Twitch as a website to restrict bilingual listings to only affiliates and partners for the time being. This would theoretically limit abuse of the system by limiting this to a smaller pool of streamers.
