  1. Would be nice if you could Improve the Visibility of Pinned Messages by Example giving them a coloured Border. Secondly alot of Times the Pinned Message doesnt get Updated or shown at all to certain People who join the Stream or were already there. Only after Refreshing the Stream the correct one is beeing shown. Would be nice if you could Improve that System regarding this Problems.

  3. On a web browser, there is no way to view chat in fullscreen, which is insane and decreases user interaction immensely. Even just overlaying some chat on the right, even read only, would make viewing experience much better. Do twitch developers not use their own product?? I have to install a chrome extension to do this, just to watch my favourite streamer!

  4. twitch is removing the @ function to tag people in raids and shout outs and PUT IT BACK!!!! as a dylsexic person, i find the removal of this feature ableist and i have seen it result in several raids to the wrong channel.
    please stop making it harder for moderators?! we do a lot of work for free because it's fun, stop making it suck.

    Hi,

    Could you please clarify where you derived this information? How was it removed/when and when was it restored?

    I may be misunderstanding, but the mention feature requires the user to already be in chat when trying to use @ in conjunction with the command. With that logic, is the ask here that the mention feature work to suggest user that you would like to raid on behalf of the streamer (even if they are not currently in the chat of the channel you're in)? Or is there also an issue that the you cannot use /command @user when they are present in the chat (as a part of a raid) of the channel you're moderating in? Thanks for clariying!

  5. Give channel moderators the power to shout out someone in chat by clicking their username and selecting a "shout out" option (another way of shouting them out vs. using /shoutout @username).

  6. Just like the /pin command it would be great if streamers and mods could use /unpin in chat to unpin the current active pinned message.

    I often check my stream and chat on mobile when im AFK and quite often I notice I have a pinned message I want to unpin. Unpinning just by sending /unpin to chat would be awesome.

    I personally also prefer keyboard > mouse so I would definitely use /unpin even at desktop. :3

  7. When people are gifting large numbers of subs to a streamer (especially when multiple viewers do so back to back), the notifications break the flow of any conversations happening, which effectively makes chat temporarily unusable.

    I don't want to not have a notification for this, because I do appreciate people who gift to my favourite streamers and want their generosity to be recognised, but it would be nice if the notifications could be delivered in a way that doesn't spam the chat. To that end, I'd like to suggest that when multiple subs are being gifted in one go, the…

  8. Looking through the IRC Chat Tags, it doesn't appear as if there are tags that would trigger a highlighted message.

    For instance, if a first-time chatter posts something in chat, it would be nice to have an IRC tag that indicates that they're a first-time chatter. Regardless of what the user has set up on the website, this would allow for a bot, or StreamElements custom widget, to detect the tag and do something with it (such as play an alert, or post a message in chat, etc).

    At minimum, the following tags would be nice to have:
    1) first…

  9. When pressing shift + enter on a message, it should actually skip a line when sending the message (like in discord). It would help so much to make things look more organized when typing a message

  10. Some streamers, including partners, have some rules for the chat which is just ridiculous.

    Rules like "Don't be a ****" is disrespectful to the community, since it allows moderators to moderate whatever they want, and then target, harass and further disrespect members for no actual reason. Any rule that mentions "****" or "moron" should be removed.

    I'm not being a "*******" I'm chatting with other people. And I reject any idea that this is acceptable in how anyone would treat their own fan base and the community.

  11. I think there should be an optional box where you can specify how your username should be pronounced by TTS bots while still displaying the text as normal in the chatbox and visuals.

  12. An option to be able to remove the text highlight when people @ mention your channel in your chat as it can be distracting for the streamer. If this is already available can someone please tell me how to do it, as I haven't been able to find the option anywhere

  13. My channel has a problem with viewers that have alt accounts voting in the polls I create on my channel.

    An option to see who participates in each poll seems like it might help with such a problem, either by outing these random accounts or by dissuading viewers from voting with alt accounts.

  14. -Users that don't have a verified account can only watch the stream
    -Verified users with phone/email verification (if possible make it both) will be allowed to chat or whisper

    This is to avoid trolls to make new accounts easily to harass streamers, it wouldn't really stop them but it will take them time to create new accounts and maybe they will just get exhausted (prayge).

    It might also become a hassle for viewers with make and verify their account, but I know they will appreciate Twitch if they know that you are also protecting their favorite streamer.

    I had seen…

  15. So i always try to find clips in certain live streams after they end and alot of the times they are 12H live streams so its borderline impossible at the moment to find a 15S clip. The feature I would love to see is chat search where essentially you can search through all the messages in the stream vod and its really easy even for the streamer or editor to find the moment they were looking for exactly especially if they remember a specific message from a specific user then they could type that in pn some sort of promp…

  17. An option for a viewer to toggle the on-screen-chat on or off.
    If you like it then you can enable it on every stream.
    If you don't like it then you can disable it on every stream.

    Right now I see that it is very devided and it completely depends on the streamer. I personally think it would be better if the viewer could decide what they prefer.

  19. My big issue with the pinning messages system is that it is categorised under Mod Icons and with my moderation experience (since 2014, so almost 9 years as of posting this), I will NEVER use nor recommend ever having Mod Icons turned on for modding a chat due to it being unbelievably awful and I have seen so many mods in the past misclick it which has caused problems and unrest and upset with some viewers, especially with new viewers.

    So here is my suggestion on how to improve this, I feel pin messages should be in a separate category…
