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, I'm not counted in the view count of Twitch's metrics either which I'm sure doesn't help appeal to advertisers. Making it clear when viewership counts and when it may not instead of having everyone guess will benefit everyone. I currently have to guess how many streams I can view concurrently, if I need to use redeems/chat, if the window needs to be in focus, if refreshing helps. As I type this I have 4 tabs up and I'm only getting channel points in 2 of the 4 (not even the one I'm most actively typing in). Sometimes I can be earning channel points with 7 tabs up, there's no clarity on this, a viewer indicator on a 10+ second delay would be the best solution in my opinion, maybe even give it a clickable description.
