Chat Highlights for Streamers and Mods
We’re testing more ways to make it easier for creators to recognize new and returning viewers in chat with additional chat highlights for Mentions, Mods, and Subs. You can toggle individual highlights on or off to focus on a specific type of viewer you want to recognize, like highlighting important messages from your mods or showing love to your subs.
These highlights will not be visible to viewers in chat.
Note: This feature is a limited experiment and we will monitor feedback before deciding to make these highlights more widely available. You may see additional highlight options as we experiment with this feature. We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions here. We look forward to hearing your feedback!
Hey everyone! Wanted to give you all an exciting update: The Raider Chat Highlight is now live to all streamers. You can adjust in your Chat Highlight settings how long raiders will be highlighted for in chat (5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, and 4 hours). Learn more here!
What other Chat Highlights would you like to see added? Let us know what you think of this update in the comments below!

This is a really nice feature. One highlight option that I would like to see is a Returning Chatter option. This would highlight the first message from any returning user each stream. It would help streamers greet returning users and there would be less risk of missing chatters that only say a quick hello before lurking.
I will also second the ideas of letting mods have these highlights and adding VIP as a highlight option.

Love the idea of the new feature because it is something that exists as a feature for FFZ and BTTV but I have personal issues with both of these things because they keep deleted messages in chats. So upon hearing of the ability to highlight important things like moderator chats in the stream made me so excited!!!!
UNTIL... until, as a mod, I realized that mods don't have access to seeing the other highlights. I get the need for the streamer and am thankful as a stream to be able to have access to the trial of it. But as a mod, and a mod of some pretty fast moving, busy chats, it would be SOOOOO helpful for moderators to also have access to the variety of highlight features and be able to choose what they want active on their mod views.
Please consider this amendment!!!!! It would mean the world to us mods!!!

Hi love the idea but i would love it if i could choose to add Vip's to this.
I give Vip to anywhone qith a higher watchtime of ten days or more meaning that person is probably part of MY TRULLY CORE AUDIANCE and for me those people are sometimes more important than subs.
