  1. As thousands of messages scroll in the chat room, unable to read them, I close the chat and come back to it, from time to time, as I'm watching the game. Therefore, I suggest highlighting the replies to my messages when I come back to chat. Thx! Regards,

  2. Some streamers with huge numbers have no choice but to have chat in sub only mode. What if you had two chats, all-chat, and a sub only chat, and the streamer could decide which they wanted to look at, whilst the entire community could still communicate with one another.

  3. There is something I want to say about the follow-only chat mode.
    In order to prevent indiscriminate chatting as soon as it enters streaming, it uses a follow-only chat mode.
    When using this, the time setting is possible and the chat is not available for at least 10 minutes.
    I think 10 minutes is a little long, so I personally want to set it to about 5 minutes.
    Therefore, I hope that streamers can freely set the time setting in the follow-only chat mode.

  5. What if you did some sort of optional break out room (like Zoom does) in Twitch chat. I feel like with larger streamers it is very difficult for users to interact and stay involved, and small breakout rooms could make people feel more interaction. Lots of questions still for how it would logistically work, like how many people in rooms, how to moderate video/chats. I have lots of ideas about this but I'm not giving them to you unless you give me 1 million dollars.

  8. Nice idea to just feature followers in chat sometimes, but shouldn't be used all or most of the time. Some might have good reasons to not follow a streamer and still want to chat with others. They should not be forced to follow a streamer to be able to chat with others. Twitch has tools to stop spam, trolls and they should be used instead of making the chat followers only.

  9. I like this feature as it allows me to see what the person ,another person replied to, said. It gives needed context and means I don't have to waste time scrolling up trying to find the original message. Although one thing to improve is that you need to click on message first in order to select and copy text which is a tad inconvenient. Other than that, this is a great much needed feature

  10. It doesn't hurt anyone to just allow banned users to view the chat without the ability to write something.

  11. Instead of slow mode for high view channels, create a system where comments appear every 20 seconds no matter how frequent people comment. With even 40 people chatting at the same time, it can become quite overwhelming. With this, it will give the streamer time to respond to every comment and make sure no one who has a valid question or comment is left out.

  12. I was moderating an english chat, where somebody sent

    "Dziękuję za emotkę 2020Unroll @username" after username subscribed.

    The chat is supposed to be english only so the message would have needed to be moderated if I did not understand the content. The stream is tagged as "English".

    This message should be in the streamer language by default instead of the viewer one.

  13. this option already exists in the moderators panel, it would be great for all users to be able to update the list simply by pressing a button instead of updating the entire page, losing the message history.

  14. It would be very helpful if chat mods were able to exceed the 500 character chat limit. This is especially so when trying to input something into Nightbot but having the message to be too long and not being able to say what you want to say.

  15. Based on my experience watching a lot of DJ's currently streaming the chat can get very busy and this makes it hard to keep up with conversations.

    Could a 'VIP room' option be added where there is either a separate chat for any Subscribers/VIP status members or could some of the other users chat be filtered or offset to make picking out chat from certain users easier?

    The username colours help a little but as this is repeated a lot in a busy chat the username has to be read to pick out comments from friends.

  16. Since some channels can be host to countless viewers at once, it can be really hard to keep up with the chat for either the streamer or the viewer. What if we give streamers the option to have parallel chats that are subdivided how they choose (whether based on subscription level or something else). It gives another incentive to donate, subscribe, and more, AND it gives the more devoted viewers a more easy way to follow chat for the streamer WHILE giving the streamer further options to customize their channel and the user experience for their viewers.

  17. In Stream Manager,
    when clicking the "Whispers" icon and tab into the input line, the whole website shifts up. This makes it impossible to access the top section. Only a restart of the browser will fix this issue. Happened with Firefox Version 83.0 (64-Bit) [Newest version as of today]

  18. There is more delay when watching from mobile app rather than computer, approximately 5 more seconds. Therefore, messages sent by using a device that does not have extra delay will be spoiler for mobile users. Thus, mobile users are forced to get away from the conversation environment if they do not want to be exposed from spoilers. For this reason, there might be an optional setting in mobile app to compansate the extra delay for the chat flow for who does not want to see the chat messages beforehand. There can be a mechanism to measure the extra delay automatically…

  19. 例えば日本語をチャットに入力した場合、その国の方々が見ていた各国の文章に自動的に翻訳する事は可能でしょうか?
    配信中は海外のユーザーが視聴してくれる場合もあるので、自動翻訳機能が欲しいです。

  20. When doing a stream that puts me far away from my computer, I like to use my iPad with the popout chat to read chat. But the "top donators" badge at the top, and the chat box at the bottom take up nearly 1/3 of my screen real estate (especially when scaling up font). I'd prefer the ability to go into the chat settings for the popout and hide them, even if I need to do it manually every time. This is easily solvable with a toggle that runs a tiny bit of Javascript hiding the divs.
