  1. It is no surprise that if you watched any stream, most streamers have "Regulars" that they game with. I think there should be a badge a streamer can give to those that they play with constantly on stream.

  2. wenn in theatre mode with the chat under the video, the leaderboard blocks 1/3rd of the chat window (atleast on my screens)

    please let us disable the leader board in the chat setting so we can se more of the chat

    side note the "stream chat" bar that seperates chat from the video is way thicker than it needs to be blocking another 1-2/10th of the possible chat window

  3. It would be a great quality of life for Ultra Wide Screen users to have a twitch chat window where you can edit the width size. Currently, If you are watching a vod with 21:9 monitor/resolution, you get a lot of black portions on your screen and the chat windows is barely readable. On live streams, you can just pop out the chat and place it wherever you feel comfortable but that option is not available on vods.

  4. The amount of time people have been subbed is pretty common to be found, but I also think it'd be cool if you could see how long somebody has been a VIP, mod, founder, etc. This could be optional to the streamer and/or the person in question (via the current chat settings where the displayed badges are).

  5. The Viewercard for each user, specifically those with permissions in each channel to use newly added commands, such as /announce and /shoutout, seems to be missing the output for those commands.

    While i understand shoutouts actions are visible from the Modview/Dashboard, it would still be nice to be able to scroll through a moderator's chat history to view who they've previously shouted out.

    It would also be nice, and downright common sense, to be able to view the content from a moderator's previous /announce use.

  6. Wenn man in den Stream eines Content-Creators joint steht folgende Nachricht im Chat: Willkommen im Chat!- Ich würde vorschlagen dass man diese Nachricht Customizen kann, dass dann sowas steht wie: Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß in meinem Chat! -oder sonstige Nachrichten

  7. My chat filters delete a couple pretty specific terms/phrases. But even people whom I've seen before in my chat and enjoy the company of still fall prey to my filters from time to time. And it's quite disheartening when all of their contributions to the chat are completely purged because of one new message.

    With instances like this, for old and new users, it would benefit not just myself, but a good chunk of other streamers from what I've seen, to have things so that ONLY those individual messages with the actual filtered content gets deleted, as opposed to a…

  8. Leave a rules button next to the channel points to highlight the rules.
    Note: I make this suggestion because many do not read the rules and the rules button is currently very "hidden" because it has to open the settings.

  9. One annoying thing on a stream is when the streamer (or even the chat users) answer the same questions over and over.
    A cool feature that could be added is a new command called Question.
    When the message begins with a "/?", a bot could try to answer to the question ask depending on keywords that is it.
    The streamer would just have to think about common questions that people ask, finding keywords of the questions, and then mapping it to an answer.
    On the chat, a bot would show the possible answers that could fit. Then and only then,…

  10. Much like the Founder badge of a channel, Twitch should implement a badge for the first 10 followers for Affiliate channel and then upgrade it to 50 followers if a channel becomes a Partner. I think this should be made since it can show someone's support of a channel.

  11. Current Chat is hard to read in streams with lots of viewers. Chats scroll up as new chats appear making it hard to for the eye to track at high speeds.

    I'd suggest creating a mode where chat can use a "progressive scan" approach much like old CRT televisions which illuminated pixels sequentially overwriting old pixels. With this approach, new chats would overwrite the oldest chat. The next chat would overwrite the next oldest chat. Chats would stay in a fixed position on the screen until they were overwritten by a new chat. This would make it easier to read…

  12. As the topic says,

    a feature to AUTOMATICALLY restrict and monitor all accounts following your channel the same day as the accounts where made.

    This would save me and most likely others a lot of work going through your follower list everyday to keep obsessed psychopaths out.

    I am of course talking about the new marking feature that recently came to be where you can choose to monitor a suspicious chatter and even restrict his messages from being seen by the rest.

  13. Сделать возможным обычным пользователям отправлять только смайлики и подписчикам писать одновременно(объединить режимы "чат для смайликов" и "чат для подписчиков" или сделать независимыми друг от друга).
    Часто во время просмотра фильма или мультипликации во избежание спойлеров ставят один из вышеупомянутых режимов. В первом случае стримеру не хватает интерактива от трансляции, во втором интерактива не хватает обычным зрителям.

  14. Chat disappears when chrome window is made smaller
    no expand
    You have to change it quickly so the chat below is created
    Otherwise the chat will be lost.

    크롬창을 작게바꿀때 채팅이 없어집니다
    펼치기도 없어지고요
    크기를 줄일때 빠르게 줄여야 채팅이 아래에 생깁니다
    안그러면 채팅이 없어지고 화면만 줄어듭니다

  15. (I deleted my old post because it was hard to understand)

    A Welcome message that shows up every time you enter a channel's chat. Not when you click to say something like it does now, but when you first see the chat.

    It would include Rules but be more welcoming and flexible.

    Examples:

    Headline: "Chat Rules"
    Body: (Usual chat rules as they are currently)

    Or:

    Headline: "AVAST! YE SCURVY KNAVE!"
    Body: "He, she, ye, or they who dare cross this rope bridge to join us aboard the ship shall be cursed if they refuse to follow THESE RULES..."

    Or:

    Headline:…

    Twitch responded

    Sadly no update, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for reuploading if you were concerned the first post was too confusing! Means the world when people clarify <3 



  16. Right to the point: I have a stream where i am regular viewer Guild Wars 2 game, but there is a player who plays in competitive scene of that game, known to the streamer i watch and his viewers.

    I've been mistaken for that player many times in streamer's twitch chat because of my nickname, which is similar to that player's nickname.

    I don't want to change my global nickname because on other streams it's fine, but for that stream alone, where i am constantly mistaken for someone else, i would set some unique nickname.

    I.e. Just like Discord's server…

  17. Make "Chat Filters" setting persistent. Currently, I have to turn my Chat Filters OFF every time I log on to the website, even though I have cookies enabled for the site, and this is very annoying. This setting should be stored in the account and persistently applied. Even better, it could be applied to each individual channel.

  18. My reasoning behind this is that a sword implies offense, as oppose to what mods actually do, which is mostly protect the communities they are apart of. I think this fits better with how Twitch and mods in general feel about their duty.

    Suggestions and feedback welcome. :D

  19. So, I know Pride Months is over soon, but it's never to late to do it.

    I wanted to show my support to Pride Month and me as many others we have done it already.

    But I would love an option for us to use a rainbow color username during Pride Month to show the support.

  20. Can we have an option to turn off the highlight on monitored users for moderation? It especially is useful for the streamer as the person being suspicious shouldn't draw the streamer's attention more than other viewers.
