Add The Ability To Add Nicknames To Followers

There have been many times where a follower in chat has asked to be called a certain name, other than their Twitch username. If there is a way that the streamer can assign a nickname to a person in chat, that only the streamer can see, I think that would be helpful and a way to connect even better with regular viewers.

    this would helpful especially with usernames that are similar, on the modding side, or in busy chats

    Sugiero que se puedan añadir notas a los usuarios, ya que muchas veces interactuamos con el público por ejemplo en juegos o y suelen tener un nick diferente al que tienen en twitch o simplemente queremos añadir una nota o llamado de atención, tanto para escribir su nombre para no olvidarlo o si ha hecho algo y no queremos olvidar eso. Actualmente el sistema de "nota" que tiene twitch hace básicamente cambiarle el nick visual del usuario y realmente no se ve nada bien ni accesible.

    BTTV has this feature and I love it. Helps me remember what people like to be called or how to pronounce their names. I usually do "NAME (custom text)"

    Sometimes as a streamer I forget if someone wants to be called a certain thing and it'd be very beneficial if my mods could go in and change the nickname of a person in chat for the streamer, not just for themselves!

    Be able to add nicknames to your viewers for example, for a mod, change "Bill1234" to "Bill1234 [MOD]". And make it for all viewers to be able to see

    Custom Nicknames in chat. Case in point, I play a character on a Dungeons and Dragons stream and I would love to have some sort of way for chat users to know who I am when I participate in chat without having to change my username which is part of my brand for my personal channel.

    Even a Parenthesized custom spot for a nickname of the sort would be a great way to interact with fans in a more personalized way!
