[Test] First Participation Highlight in Creator/Mod Chat

Some creators will notice a new first-time chatter highlight is now available in chat. This feature lets creators and their mods identify and welcome newcomers in chat to their community when appropriate. The highlight is only available to creators and their mods in chat and is not displayed to the rest of your community. This feature is in a limited release, and we will monitor feedback before making it more widely available.

Creators and their mods are enrolled in the limited release automatically, and they can toggle the feature on and off in chat settings under "First Time Chat Highlight."

We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions here. We look forward to hearing your feedback!

    So far, everything works very well. It's easy to spot new viewers and ask, for example, how they got to us.

    Its a perfect feature for tiny channels, i have streamed yesterday and i have noticed about this new feature, and is very good for explaining how twitch works for the new people

    Perfect feature! Mod only so no issues with regulars in chat getting the same info

    I love this feature. It allows me to give an extra warm welcome to new chatters! Super helpful because in the past when I didn't recognize a username I would have to click their name to see if they were following.

    This is an interesting feature. I as a streamer am happy to be alerted new comers chatting for the first time so I can give them a proper welcome. On the other hand, as a viewer I wonder if I have the choice to opt in or out. I can see some viewers might be even more hesitant about participating in chat if they get the spotlight like that. I tend to lurk in channels and I wouldn't enjoy being called out like that if I post a message in chat.

    it was really cool. Good to know whos new here
  • Azutael commented  ·   ·  Report

    That's the last thing I want happening if I decide to participate in chat, and would only lead me to do so even less than before.

    I enjoy it very much! It helped me to see new people in the stream better then looking at the notification list, making it more dynamic!

    Great feature - its super handy with my type of stream where my mods and i can help out any new viewers with any queries they may have
  • erectdictator commented  ·   ·  Report

    I personally found this feature very useful and helpful. I like the fact that my Mods can also have this feature to welcome in new chatters. This is a great way for the admin of a stream to engage with new people better. People are constantly changing their twitch name so I have a hard time knowing if someone is a first timer or been back before. I also can't remember everyone and automatically know if they are new or not. I find this feature to be a great add and would recommend it to stay.

    I like the new update. Kind of wish I new about ti before hand as I did seem confused at first.

  • MsEcem commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really enjoyed this new update! I think it's really useful to see newbies and welcome them!

  • JahnyErMjukur commented  ·   ·  Report

    This has been a very nice quality of life feature :) Being able to instantly know if a person is new and then instantly introduce them to the channel has been amazing :D
  • NoobTasticGaming commented  ·   ·  Report

    I love this idea. I think it is a great way to recognize new people in a community.
    I would like to see something that also says maybe first message of the day too.
