  1. We are experimenting with a new feature that allows new viewers in a channel to introduce themselves via a simple prompt. Messages sent through this feature will be highlighted to the rest of Chat with an invitation to welcome the user via chat reply or @mention. This feature is in a limited release, and we will monitor feedback before deciding whether to make it more widely available.

    Channels are enrolled in the experiment automatically and randomly, and creators can toggle the feature on and off in their Moderation settings under Chat Options: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/settings/moderation

  2. A lot of bots are used to create and use commands. Moreover twitch have a command system (with /, for example /mods /vips, etc) and use of commands spam chats.

    So the idea is to allow developers to access those slash commands, by adding an command via twitch API (as Discord did).
    It should prevent spam on chat.

  3. Have an option to choose between the founder badge or the channel subscription badge.
    In the chat I moderate several people are "complaining" about not being able to show their subscription badge. It is a kind of privilege to have the founding badge but then why impose it and not let the user choose?

  4. 스트리머가 채팅창을 화면에 송출할 때, 보고싶지 않은 불쾌한 채팅까지 봐야만 하는데,
    이를 애드온으로서 전환해주시길 바랍니다.

    애드온에 채팅창 화면 송출 기능을 도입하여 화면에서 채팅을 보고 싶은 유저는 On, 보고 싶지 않은 유저는 Off를 통해서 강제로 불쾌한 채팅까지 봐야하는 불상사를 막아줄 수 있을 것으로 사료됩니다.

  5. When a chatter is being "watched" by mods.. dim their chat for the streamer. Perhaps also highlight chat for other mods?

  6. Sometimes I forget if I've said a certain thing in a certain channel. Maybe a Turbo/Premium feature?

    Also would be cool to be able to see friends' chat history if they allow it (like some toggle in settings "allow friends to see my chat history in across twitch").

    - Annual TOP total Bits / Gifted subs total standings.
    The winner Those who receive a nice present at home.

  8. I’d like there to be a toggle to enable or disable auto emotes for text emotes like these; :/ :) :( :D
    Normally when these are typed it’s automatically turned into a twitch emote but I don’t want that :/

  9. People in chat should be able to upvote chat messages so streamers can connect more with their viewers.
    People watching streams often share similar view on gameplay etc.

    For example: The streamer clutches a 1v4 situation but ends up dying of fall damage or poison or whatever :P its just an example here!
    But then someone in chat types "You missed a healthpack behind that tree" The message gets upvoted and the streamer see's the message and replies "Oh i didnt notice it, thanks i will remember that"

    Example: You cannot upvote your own messages because that would just be…

  11. Would be cool a chat group together the normal chat like had a tool or a simple option that could find friends or new peoples to meet

    Being this option you enter another chat but in the same stream and with people who can now be your friends

    Ex:
    Normal chat -> click a button -> chatgroup( the same stream )

    If could draw the idea would be better but i think it be enough

  12. 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…

  13. For affiliates, you can create roles for users. For example, instead of just VIP and Moderator, you can create a role, change it's icon and appearance. (ex: Friends Role.)

  14. Please, Twitch, I'm begging. Get rid of Emote Only Mode!!! A few emotes are ok, but nothing but emotes is just ridiculous! I go to chat rooms to CHAT not post silly pictures. I want to talk and emote only is a waste of my time.
    So just get rid of it. That's all. I hope I'm not the only person who feels this way.

  15. The Problem:

    If there is a non-standard latin letter in a link, link detection ends with the last letter before that non-standard letter.

    For example:
    Link in chat: www.example.de/derötzi
    Link dectection generates a link to www.example.de/der and "ötzi" remains as plain text, but the text of the link and "ötzi" is kept together

    A fix would be helpfull, for this specific and other letters, for example there maybe letters like ä, ü, ñ, æ, ø, etc that may cause problems with link detection.
    (Note: I wasn't able to check myself if these other letters don't work in links, but I…

  18. Similar to the setting to Block whispers from strangers. Have a secondary option that re-allows whispers from your followers, or a higher level your subscribers only.

    "Want to be famous" bots have been circumventing filters in chat by whispering creators. There are legitimate reasons to want to have whispers open to your community, but currently the only option is to block whispers from strangers. A creator can't go around and follow/friend everyone of their followers.

    A reason for including sub only (in addition to followers) would be reducing chance of harassment as subs are less likely to.

  19. A similar feature to chat blocked term or other form of blacklist words for chat whispers.

    This thought came up because the "Want to be famous" bots have taken to whispers instead of chat. But this feature would be great to ease issues of harrassment being able to block potential slurs or other disparraging words.

    In chat we have blocked terms as well as third party bots to filter out spam or unwanted words. But bots don't currently have the ability to filter whispers and twitch has no native method to block unwanted whispers outside of fully blocking all whispers.

  20. I think the sub gifting counter needs a rework to differentiate between the Tier 1 and Tier 2 and Tier 3 subs.

    Take my man Davezortv for example. I gifted 5 Tier 2 subs but I'm counted as below the guy gifting 10 tier 1 subs. They're effectively the same in retail but if I gifted more tier 2 subs, that should reflect as Tier 2 gifted subs in the counter.

    So per sub gifter there's a breakdown of:
    [Username]
    Tier 1 subs gifted
    Tier 2 subs gifted
    Tier 3 subs gifted

    Looking forward to your thoughts.
