  1. Chat replay is certainly better now than at launch, but there has to be a way to ignore users. Clicking a name and pressing the ignore button does nothing (it doesn't even add them to your global ignore list).
    Also needs an option menu and popout capability, but those can wait.

  2. Would love to see a mod-only chat implemented using Whispers 2.0, or even just a group-chat in general. Love Whispers 2.0 so far, and I think it would do away with the current group chat that I don't think people know much about or use often.

  3. New card is infinitely worse. Follow age and information about that chatter, like their about, recent streams, etc, are most useful. What badges they can use is neither interesting nor useful to anyone. Please remove change.

  4. I am part of 2 communities that use the beta GIF keyboard for tier 2 and tier 3 subs. The experience on both channels has been subpar.

    1. A 30 second cooldown per user does not prevent spamming. The cooldown should have been made global.

    2. There 100% needs to be an individual user control to turn them off/hide them. The current controls in place only allow you to stop animation, which also halts animated emotes. This is not sufficient. If you are on the typical laptop with a 13” screen, the chat window is pretty small. Adding banners at…

  5. It would mutually benefit Twitch, the streamer, and the viewer if there was an indicator for a viewer to see if they're being counted as a viewer. As it currently stands, all a streamer can do is remind people to chat and use redeems to maybe have a viewer count (but even then there's no way of knowing). I like to watch multiple streams at a time sometimes just audio in a background tab, but I don't know how often I'm being counted as a viewer. If I'm not counted as a viewer in a stream I'm trying to support,…

  6. All the channels I've followed now have this on, and I can't chat on any channels, as I do not have a phone to verify my account.

  7. User stories:

    As a streamer I want the ability to prevent a user from chatting in my stream for N amount of days, hours, minutes, seconds after a user has changed their username.

    As a moderator I want the ability to view the amount of time that the streamer has configured for preventing a user from chatting after a username change.

    As a user I want a warning to appear before I change my username notifying me that I will be prevented from chatting in streams that have this feature turned on for N amount of time.

    As a user…

  8. Allow streamers to make a poll ranked-choice, allowing viewers to order the options instead of for one option. This not only will allow streamer to better gauge viewer opinions, but can also allows viewers to not be so split when they don't actually feel split.
    Commands still work, a new command for polling with this can be made. For voting, instead of /vote 3, you can do /vote 3 1 2 4.
    Boosting votes also works as it does now.

  9. Hype chat price per second should be determined by the streamer or atleast it should be affected by viewer count somehow. It's pointless to have same 1 second price if you have 100 viewers or 10000 viewers.

    As a small streamer it would be better to let people have their messages shown longer with less money. It would make the hype chat more attractive in small communities.

  10. I thought it would be a great idea if we as steamers could give people more roles than VIPs, mods or editors. Such as discord, different and certain roles with badges and a bigger interaction with chat and the people in it.

    Everyone could be able to get a role and be able to interact with roles.

    There would be more customisation in your own hands as a streamer and a new way to get people to chat and come visit in your chats/streams

  11. I was recently chatting with some other streamers and we agreed that this would be great.

    When streaming, the streamer will often have the Chat popped out in their browser. But there's no way to know if a new Whisper came in. There's no way, through Twitch, to find out if someone is trying to reach you privately. And in a busy Chat, even if they try to reach you publicly, you can miss it.

    It would be great if the little Whispers icon were at the top or bottom of the popped out chat, and if it could have…

  12. With the recent addition of allowing channels to have up to 10 prediction outcomes, up from the original 2, I'd like to have the ability to have more options when running a poll in chat. Currently up to 5 options are allowed, but I'd like to have the ability to enter, at least, up to 10 options.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. My reasoning behind this is that a sword implies offense, as oppose to what mods actually do, which is mostly protect the communities they are apart of. I think this fits better with how Twitch and mods in general feel about their duty.

    Suggestions and feedback welcome. :D

  16. The amount of time people have been subbed is pretty common to be found, but I also think it'd be cool if you could see how long somebody has been a VIP, mod, founder, etc. This could be optional to the streamer and/or the person in question (via the current chat settings where the displayed badges are).

  17. If I'm whispering to someone in one chat, I don't need a whisper box opened on every other open Twitch tab. If for some reason this is necessary behavior, It would be nice if all the whisper boxes would close if 1 is closed.

    The way it works now, I have a useless whisper box still open, that needs to be closed manually, on every other tab.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…
