  1. I believe that the more chat messages there are during a live stream, the more enjoyable the stream tends to be. Streamers themselves should also feel grateful to those who actively comment and contribute to livening up the stream. Despite Twitch having the excellent feature of leaderboards, it is currently limited to subscriptions and cheers.

    There has been a discussion suggesting that it might be beneficial to have a leaderboard for channel points as well. In addition to this, I think it would also be beneficial to have a leaderboard for comment counts. Smaller to medium-sized streamers would likely find…

  2. On my surface pro when I type in chat using touch screen and hit spacebar it adds another work to the word I was trying to type like it was autocorrecting but never deletes the incorrect word.

  3. For people watching VODS, let people use the transparent chat like you can do during live streams. It would allow you to have a much cleaner look and be better than black bars taking up some of the screen and making the video smaller.

  4. The popup for the emote description that comes up when cursoring over an emote in chat is causing it to be hard to select things in chat. I.E. when highlighting a raid message to right click and copy it when the channel you are watching raids another channel.

  5. I would like the option to better format the pinned messages. For example being able to list a few bulletpoints. Right now it clumps it all together no matter what and that makes the message not come across that well. Or some other way longer messages could be shared with good visibility.

  6. It is very common to receive raids from channels that were broadcasting a game completely different from the one you are currently playing, causing most viewers to leave the broadcast that received the raid immediately, if there was a way to place a restriction on the game , to receive a raid from a channel that was playing the same game as you at the time you are receiving the raid, I believe that the chances of viewers remaining on the broadcast are greater than that of a game different from the one you are playing.

  7. I saw in a different thread that there is an X to close the subscription notification. I do not see it. There is only the "three vertical dots" button.

  8. Cuando pone el curso delante de un emoji, las opciones de moderación aparece un globo de dialogo diciendo "Borrar" "Emoji..." y así. Y muchas veces pasa que quieres borrar un comentario y no puedes porque delante aparece el mensaje de "borrar comentario" tapándote la "x" para poder borrarlos, entonces termina complicándote la tarea de moderación. También resulta molesto porque termina siendo mucho spam en pantalla.

  9. The total amount of users that can be blocked is capped at 1000 users. Sadly this is inadequate in channels with large communities. In larger channels there are often people who spam chat with incessant ant pointless posts, and the 1000 cap for blocked users just doesn't do enough. I'd recommend upping the total to 10000 would be a better standpoint to help users control what and who they have to see in the communities various chats.

  10. AutoMod is intended to catch viewers' negative behaviors before they become disruptive to chat. However, it winds up being more interruptive to chat than what it would mitigate, because it's frequently catching messages that aren't problematic.

    I discovered that in channels with smart detection on, sending a message with ONLY the beetle emoji and no other text, emotes, or emoji whatsoever gets the message automatically removed. Having been a hollow knight stream, more chatters wanted to follow suit and also post the beetle emoiji - only to get their messages AutoMod restricted as well (this happened over a month ago…

  11. i'm ok with the add's, they make snese for twitch to earn money, its timing always interupt with chat, missing replies, or making replies miss the "sweet spot"

    can the ad's happen but don't interupt with the chat, so, the sound of the ad still playing, but not above the streamers soundlevel, so the interaction doesn't break?

    we have seen the ads 100th's of times, were okay, it just breaks the interaction, make that less, please, were ok with seeing it..but **** it breaks interaction if it cuts off sound compleetly

  14. A button with a small menu, that allows to delete or edit your own chatmessage, would be a gamechanger.

  15. Com essa atualização percebi que não posso copiar as frases no chat no tradutor. Estou chateada, pois não sou fluente em inglês e espanhol ou outras línguas. Antes eu podia fazer isso no chat. Por favor voltem como antes para podermos desfrutar melhor do Twitch. Gosto muito da plataforma. Agradeço.

    More Info Needed  ·  Ana responded

    Hi,

    Could you please clarify regarding the update? Was it an update on the mobile app? Thank you.

  16. Chat registers as an overlay (like YouTube) on the screen rather than making the stream a smaller size.
    When viewing YouTube streaming, I find myself leaving chat on as it doesn’t affect the overall stream viewing as much as on twitch where the viewing screen adjusts to smaller size to accommodate chat. I typically leave chat off with twitch.

  17. I'm requesting this as a Linux streamer since I use Steam Overlay to see the chat as there is no maintained apps for seeing the chat if you have one screen. The Stream Chat top bar cannot be hidden and is unnecessary.

  18. Add a button to LIKE a comment in chat. Add a little icon and number if a comment gets more likes. This makes it easy to see a good comment. (or change background color for a comments with likes)
    Possibly, if a comment gets more than X LIKES, auto pin this comment for like 1 minute for visibility.
    Good comments should be easily seen and interaction would be easy like this.

  19. Deleting or editing a message in the stream chat will be so useful in the communication with the streamer.
    because sometimes i send a message incorrectly or i realize that i used the wrong words, and then the streamer misunderstands me. or sometimes i send a message that break the chat rules, BY MISTAKE, and then the mods suspect me or think that i meant it, and then i get timed out, and this will corrupt my relationship with the mods or the streamer, and this really annoys me, i hope this problem will be fixed soon,
    and thank you.

  20. Instead of Followers Only mode, you should add a mode where trusted accounts (accounts that have existed for a long time and are in good standings with twitch) are the only accounts allowed to chat. That way trolls will be filtered out, and good upstanding Twitch citizens can chat to see if they like the stream before they follow.

    You're welcome. Stream fixed.
