  2. The Idea is being able to send a message through the use of the microphone without having to type on their PC or Phone keyboard. This will help any viewer who is cooking, driving, or doing anything to prevent them from being able to send a message in chat using their keyboard. Having a built in Virtual Assistant (VA) like Siri or something similar would be a brilliant implementation for Twitch. This idea is a bit more extreme, but it in the near future would expand the possibilities for Twitch. You can say something like, "Hey Siri (or whatever Twitch…

  3. Observed Behaviour:
    Given chat is enabled,
    and given the browser window is less than 920 pixels wide,
    and given the browser window is more than 786 pixels high,
    when a user enables theatre mode,
    then chat is shown below the stream,
    and then there is no button to hide chat.

    Expected Behaviour:
    Given there is enough space vertically (currently 170px in addition to the stream player),
    then there is a button to show/hide chat.

  4. Problem statement:
    There are numerous young streamers ( kids & teens ) on Twitch, that are an easy abuse target, by older kids, by adults , and worst of all, by criminals.

    Questions:
    1. How can I help Twitch , in contributing and in facilitating this change to protect those streamers ?
    2. Can I help by being part of Twitch taskforce to address this severe issue ?

    Possible solutions / Suggestions:
    1. Require any non-adult streamer to have verified accounts only for their chat audience.
    2. Chat audience of the verified accounts, must match the streamer age and may…

  5. There are times when I need to get my streamer's attention as a moderator but it's difficult to do when they're not looking at the chat. It would be great if mods could give some kind of sound notification, like a small "ding" or something the streamer chooses, so the streamer knows their attention is needed when they're able to look at chat.

  6. On phones when editing text it is difficult especially in 日本語(Japanese) to select and edit text due to accidental pressing of the bit and emote button. Maybe a slide-out drawer for emotes and bit would be better to clear the chat field or just place it on the opposite side out of the chat field.

  7. Date observed: 5/5/2022

    Twitch chat is causing memory leaks. I only observed this because I was watching a streamer with 100k+ viewers and my computer crashed with 32GB of memory with all other applications closed.

    In Dev Tools on a Chromium browser:

    1. Select "Performance monitor" in Dev tools.
    2. Observe the JS heap size and the DOM nodes, they progressively increase as chats are sent.

    Another way to observe:

    1. select "Memory" tab in Dev tools.
    2. Use "Allocation instrumentation on timeline".
    3. Record and observe the memory allocation.

    Note: tested on Edge and Google Chrome with all the extensions turned off.

  8. With streamers wanting to promote a game or socials for example and they have a bot doing it every so often I feel like bot messages can go unnoticed. I came up with a simple idea to help make them stand out more as showing here:

  9. We’re testing more ways to make it easier for creators to recognize new and returning viewers in chat with additional chat highlights for Mentions, Mods, and Subs. You can toggle individual highlights on or off to focus on a specific type of viewer you want to recognize, like highlighting important messages from your mods or showing love to your subs.

    These highlights will not be visible to viewers in chat.

    Note: This feature is a limited experiment and we will monitor feedback before deciding to make these highlights more widely available. You may see additional highlight options as we experiment…

    Looking for Feedback  ·  Danky responded

    Hey everyone! Wanted to give you all an exciting update: The Raider Chat Highlight is now live to all streamers. You can adjust in your Chat Highlight settings how long raiders will be highlighted for in chat (5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, and 4 hours). Learn more here!

    What other Chat Highlights would you like to see added? Let us know what you think of this update in the comments below!

  10. If a user has a localized display name it will not be possible to use their name to query something from the api since it does not accept non English characters.

    The /mods command already returns login names so the /vips command should do that too.

    The command also returns usernames sorted alphabetically but when using the twitch web chat the command sorts usernames by the order they were added as a mod/vip so the irc command should match that behavior.

  11. Lets say you are streaming league and you like to interact with chat but u get these bronze/silver players that are trying to coach u and backseat u in the chat and that just makes you angry and tilted.
    if a streamer had a option to filter chat messages by the accounts verified ELO in that game.
    Lets say Thebausffs streams league and he dosent want to read some of the messages lower elo people are typing, he could only FILTER for himself that he wants to only see the messages from a certain elo (lets say D1+)
    but everyone…

  12. In the stream I mod, we are using the chat restriction feature to prevent trolls from spamming messages. In some case where we see the troll is spamming even if they are in chat restriction mode, we take further action to permanently ban. But since chat history of chat-restricted user appears not being logged, other mods / streamer cannot see the context of ban.

    Can we make the chat history of chat-restricted users logged? I'm pretty sure there will be many other scenarios the chat log is going to be helpful for moderating the chat.

  13. It would be really nice to have a TwitchFridge badge for every artist that made it to the majestic and very white TwitchFridge so people will actually know that they are artists and it could be very usefull for small creators as me so actually other artist will recognise them and spread the community.

  15. The chat box should have the ability to chime a noise once anyone says something like aim used to work years ago. Obviously if you have tons of chatters messages constantly, this would probably be not used but for small streaming channels who get a few messages per stream, it would be great to hear when someone writes in chat rather than constantly having to look at an empty chat for messages.

  18. making the name of the moderators anonymous (BY CHOICE) so that when they finish moderating in the channel they can use twitch without being recognized in other channels, it would avoid questions regarding the channel they moderate in etc.

  19. Era super importante a meu ver, que existisse a funcionalidade de podermos ocultar a espada de moderação.

    Teríamos um chat mais calmo, menos complicado e respeitado.

    Obrigado,
    Bom trabalho.

  20. I have been seeing people saying spell checks from Windows to other Browsers don't work only on Twitch. Starting in April this is happening to lots of people and just a few days ago it happened to me. Please fix this it's obviously an issue with Twitch because none of us are having this problem in other webpages.
