This was a really useful topic—chat highlights for streamers and mods can genuinely improve how communities interact during live streams, especially when chat is moving too fast to keep up with everything. I like how highlighting key messages helps surface important questions, donations, or funny moments, so the streamer doesn’t miss out on meaningful engagement. From my perspective, this also makes streams feel more interactive and organized, rather than chaotic scrolling text. It reminds me a bit of platforms like Estatus Beca Rita Cetina, where structuring and clearly surfacing important information helps users quickly find what actually matters to them without getting lost in noise. Do you think chat highlights make streams more fair for viewers who are less active in chat, or do they mainly benefit moderators and streamers? https://estatusbecaritacetina.mx/

On the latest firefox update:
- Raider highlight always shows up even if it's turned off
- The timer doesn't work, if it's set to 5 minutes the Raider highlight will still show up hours later

Refreshing the page, clearing the cache, closing the browser entirely and relaunching doesn't fix (it'll clear previous messages when you rejoin chat, but all new messages get highlighted again)

Even when I disable the raider chat highlights, I still see raiders highlighted in the chat. It won't turn off even when I refresh or close/reopen my browser.

Perhaps a note on the date a returning chatter last messaged would be useful, or the game we were last streaming at that time. Can help jog our memory and aid conversation.

The raider chat highlight is bugged for me and another fellow mod. I have it turned off in the settings but raiders are still highlighted even hours after the raid. I cannot get rid of it or turn it off. I've tried turning them on and then off multiple times but it still hasn't worked.

Kann man die Chat-Highlights wie "Raid-Leader" anders farblich gestallten?

Can you add a way to omit certain mods in the highlights, so we can skip the highlights for the bots.

Needs to have an option for "First Raid Message".

That would allow for the flexibility of people who may have lurked and showed up late while also limiting the 'long term' overwhelming notifications that it creates for people who raid AND stay and chat.

The highlights seem like a great idea. Would be cool to be added into the experiment. I know 3 streamers who ignore it and then I'm here wishing I had it on my channel. :( Why not let us request to opt in that way I can give better feedback?

Hello as a long time moderator for many channels I would love to see this feature rolled out to all channels. After coming across it today in one of the channels I moderate for I can see all the benefits it will have for streamers and moderators alike and it makes reading the chat a lot easier for us to and identifying people as they come in to. I really like the layout of this so far and the ability to pin it to the bottom of the chat. Fingers crossed you rolled this out very soon across your platform it is a much needed update.

Love, love, LOVE highlights. In the future I would like to perhaps change the color of the type of highlights, but I wouldn't be upset if they remain as is. Please allow us to keep this feature!

My only thing against this testing is that when I clicked onto the setting to view and change settings which I did, the pink dot next to chat settings that notified me of the new settings stayed after I viewed the new settings. and Adding a VIP highlight section will be very nice as well.

One of the channels I moderate for was chosen to test out the new highlights. I don't know if it's a bug, but I can't see the highlights in modview, I can only see them in editor mode. If I can also make a suggestion, if the highlights could be different for each moderator it would be fantastic and obviously separate the streamer's choices as well. Thank you for your time and excuse me if I'm confusing a feature with a bug.

Nice idea! How about a setting that lets you choose the colors or disable the tag infront of the name? Would be especially useful in minimized mode so you can remember the colors and don't need that "MODERATOR" tag since it takes up a lot of space. I also agree on adding VIP.

Nice feature! :D

+1 for adding VIP and first time chat per stream. Adding different highlight colors / icons / etc for various cheering amounts or community gift amounts would be great. It would allow me to keep focus on chat instead of bouncing to the activity feed.

I like this feature! I agree that VIP needs to be added. I also would like to see something that highlights "first messages" for the stream. Not a first time chatter, but the person's first message being sent in that particular stream. That way it's easier to see that this is someone I haven't said hello to yet and can make sure they get that from me and feel the appreciation I have.

The only highlight I need is important messages by my mods since my chat goes pretty quick with 600+ viewers. I don't want to see all mod messages though. They are also people and normally chat. I would love if there is a way to just highlight mods when they mention me so a combination of Mods & Mention.

it's a very good feature but an obvious addition would be to add a highlight for VIPs as well, as many people use VIP badges for close friends whose messages they wouldn't wanna miss

I was able to see first time chatters highlighted message but now that option is gone and I don't know how to get it back on. Any tips on getting it back?

I love this feature, but if VIP is added it would make it almost perfect. Adding the option to allow moderators to see more of the highlights as well.
