  1. I think shared chat is great for connecting different streamers communities and streamer bots are good and a necessity for most streamers.

    The downside is that with shared chat, the individual command bots in each channel can easily overtake a shared chat depending on how many streamers are using shared chat together. Constantly you'd see a wall of text from another streamer's chat bot in a different stream you're watching because of shared chat.

    I know that there's command bots that have a bot badge included. Would it be possible to add an option that keeps their messages limited to…

  2. have slow mode for whispers to prevent spam, so the streamer does not have to fully turn off whispers, and can still use them as part of there stream if they want.

  3. there is a test in which titles, viewer numbers, and tags have been moved to the top of the video window. it looks cramped. it doesn't look right and it's harder to read. please, put that info back at the bottom. if something isn't broke, don't 'fix it.'

  4. You guys used to have it fine where you could ban specific phrases from ever showing up in chat. With the "best viewers on kljdgkl" stuff it worked great, but idk why you decided to have the IQ of a potato and change it to only specific words instead of specific phrases, now I'm getting those best viewers douchebags in my chat again. CHANGE IT BACK

  5. I watch a lot of streamers who are extremely picky about people dropping hints/spoilers in chat. Often times people innocently will drop hints/spoilers only to be scolded or muted or banned. It would be nice if there was a "hint's/spoilers" button that highlights on or off in chat that allows you to send hints/spoilers via a special highlighted message in chat. (This might help prevent people from accidentally posting hints/spoilers). OR when you enter the stream it gives you a warning like the "this stream contains adult themes" are you over 18? (press yes or no) splash screen. But in…

  6. Yo.

    You know the twitch chat: a lot of people are flooding the same emote or the same meme message. On the other hand there’s always a few lunatics who are trying to send a longer message or actually a fresh and relevant comment (not me tho) but it instantly disappears in the flood.

    I could easily imagine the chat to have 30 second stacking window and the message that gets duplicated kind of stays in place and maybe its number grows with more spam, giving room and slowing down the chat allowing for more meme, while flooding will still…

  7. The new feature based on chat activity to "consider a clip" needs some major overhauls as it is very buggy & is turned on for channels where clips aren't even available.

    Some general notes
    - Streamers need to have the option to turn it off in their dashboard
    - There should be more controls to set who in chat sees it and what threshold of activity counts for a "hypeable" moment vs normal chat activity

    BUGS (as I can think of them)
    - It prompts viewers in DJ channels. (DJ's aren't allowed to have clips.)
    - It prompts in streams…

  8. Allow both streamers and chatters to opt-out of "Chat seems active Consider clipping this moment" alerts. Don't just leave it to 3rd party plug-ins to fix this.

  9. Shutdown this new annoying "consider a clip" popup in the chat, or at least give me the option to disable this annoying *! Every few minutes I get bothered by this useless ***** overlay, just because there is a minimal increased chat activity.

  10. This new thing of having the Twitch chat bot constantly notifying people watching the stream about the chat being active and clip for the streamer is incredibly annoying. We don't need that popup going off every few minutes, we don't really need it at all. Why did this show up in the last couple days anyway? Please get rid of this annoying reminder, delete it, get rid of it. It's not needed and obtrusive.

  11. This was added recently and started appearing so frequently in a stream I was watching as to be obnoxious and disruptive. I even made an arbitrary clip in hopes it would make the message stop, but it kept appearing. It's frustrating and has only served to discourage genuine participation on my part. Eliminating this popup- or at least adding a cooldown to prevent it coming up so frequently would be appreciated.

  12. Twitch posts various automated messages for users in chat such as "celebrate your subscription". There's a new one I keep seeing asking me to make a clip for the channel I'm watching. I do not ever want to see that message and cannot find a way to disable Twitch from sending it every half hour or so. Adding an option to disable it in the "three dots" button for the messages would be helpful.

  13. I posted this elsewhere on the forum because I got here by following a link from someone sharing their own experience with the same problem, but I figure that this is a great place to post about this problem too.

    Why, after ten years of chatting on Twitch with a verified email address, is Twitch blocking me from every single Twitch chat unless I give my phone number? I've been on great behavior for my entire time on Twitch, so why did Twitch impose this on my account a few months ago? Twitch has not given any reason, and I…

  14. A special chat instance where banned and timed-out users get sent so they can all troll each other to death. Ideally, they wouldn't be able to tell immediately when they got sent there. The chat they got banned or timed out from would just stop; then, when they try to send another message there, they start seeing replies from "chat jail".

    Also, if a user gets sent to chat jail from too many channels, chat jail gets displayed for them on every channel all the time.

  15. The main idea is to make it easier to visually separate one chat message from the ones next to it.

    A few options:

    1. Different background colors for messages (alternating between white and light gray for Light Mode; alternating between black and dark gray for Dark Mode)

    2. Smoother movement when a new message comes in (instead of instantly jumping by however many lines the new message takes up)

    3. Thin lines between (or around) chat messages. Bubbles around messages would make messages very easy to differentiate, but they also take up more space.

  17. Shared chat should be updated so it doesn't include channels one is banned from because it would make it hard to chat if a viewer is banned in at least 1 channel that is participating on the shared chat.

    Example..
    I'm currently banned on DiffuseMoose and he used the shared chat with KibblesAwoo on November 23rd between 9:20 pm and 9:30 pm PST. When it was activated, it locked my chat POV on KibblesAwoo to "You are currently banned" which locked me from chatting from KibblesAwoo's side of the shared chat.

    If implemented, it should filter out messages that are…

  18. SYNTAX CHECK
    STOP pushing through rule breaking chat.
    After posting in a chat a comment with to many ?????, I received a 5 minute timeout. And for 5 minutes I am wondering why I was even allowed to post in the first place.

  20. Filter chat by badge. For bigger streamers with quick moving chats to quickly filter chats by badges that users have so they can read messages they might otherwise miss.
