  1. Instead of having to post hyperlinks in chat that vary in character length/size; it would be great if hyperlinks could be used as markdown text in chat similar to panels. Hovering over links could be used as well here to display to the user which website the link leads to. This would be very useful for chat bots plus broadcasters and moderators could restrict markdown to themselves and/or view full links in chat instead to minimize scam or inappropriate links to other websites.

  2. The ability to upload any image to the chat of any streamer, which has a sample duration of about 30 seconds, which by default can only be uploaded by the content creator and channel moderators and which has a filter in case obscene things are uploaded. Images from twitter or any platform could also be shown and displayed as the cover of the Clips in the chat.

    This could show in the chat, with command, more personalized badges or a random face of any follower / subscriber that the streamer has previously created, without strictly diverting attention from the broadcast.

  3. Likeable chat messages. We must get a chance to like a chat message while we are watching a stream. And we will be able to see who gets most likes or dislikes. In my opinion, it definitely provides much more chatting, viewers. You should get this feature, you should make it happen.

  4. Allow both streamers and chatters to opt-out of "Chat seems active Consider clipping this moment" alerts. Don't just leave it to 3rd party plug-ins to fix this.

  5. So, I, as a mod have the option to pin every message in the chat.
    The pin button is right next to the reply button, and I've found myself accidentally misclicking the pin button instead of the reply button.
    In my opinion, it should be harder to pin messages and you shouldn't be able to accidentally pin a message, if you wanted to reply to it.

  6. Suggested feature: Twitch chat presets only chat

    Twitch has subscribers only chat and emotes only chat. What we need is chat presets only chat. In that mode, viewers can only communicate by using available chat presets. Twitch should have a default chat presets that streamers can use.

    Recommended chat presets include but not limited to:

  7. Some streamers with huge numbers have no choice but to have chat in sub only mode. What if you had two chats, all-chat, and a sub only chat, and the streamer could decide which they wanted to look at, whilst the entire community could still communicate with one another.

  8. This is an awful feature that ruins the immersion for viewers and chatters and in part the Streamers as we have to hear chat complain about this pop up multiple times every stream.

    In creating an engaging entertaining environment getting chat going is part of the job, but just because chat is moving doesn’t mean that it’s worth clipping.

    My community and a lot of others KNOW when they would want to clip something, and this ‘feature’ is just driving people away with how constant the spam is.

    I don’t know how they thought this was a good idea, but…

  9. The new feature based on chat activity to "consider a clip" needs some major overhauls as it is very buggy & is turned on for channels where clips aren't even available.

    Some general notes
    - Streamers need to have the option to turn it off in their dashboard
    - There should be more controls to set who in chat sees it and what threshold of activity counts for a "hypeable" moment vs normal chat activity

    BUGS (as I can think of them)
    - It prompts viewers in DJ channels. (DJ's aren't allowed to have clips.)
    - It prompts in streams…

  10. The new shared chat feature is great for collabs, but we have heard from some users that they feel the chat gets too busy, or they just want to see the chat messages from the stream they are in.

    Could you please provide an option for individuals to turn off shared chat just for them and only see the chat messages from the stream they are watching?

  11. Lets say chat members just want their messages in one streamers chat and not the rest that is involved in the shared chat. For instance if a person in your chat is not comfortable with having their name in another chat they just want to talk to one streamer. Maybe have the opt in/out feature allowing them to say yes I am ok with being in all chats or no I just want to be in one chat. Or even a way they can be in the selected chats they choose to be. For instance lets say Jane comes into…

  12. Shared chat should be updated so it doesn't include channels one is banned from because it would make it hard to chat if a viewer is banned in at least 1 channel that is participating on the shared chat.

    Example..
    I'm currently banned on DiffuseMoose and he used the shared chat with KibblesAwoo on November 23rd between 9:20 pm and 9:30 pm PST. When it was activated, it locked my chat POV on KibblesAwoo to "You are currently banned" which locked me from chatting from KibblesAwoo's side of the shared chat.

    If implemented, it should filter out messages that are…

  14. Since Twitch's chat is based off of IRC, in theory this should be somewhat simple.

    There would be a section in the Twitch dashboard under moderation where you could go and view the chat logs either for individual streams, or for certain dates, or use wildcards/keywords/filters/tags to find what you are looking for.

    This would help with moderating your chat, and make sure people were not abusing others while you're offline or away.

    I've heard that posting Twitch chat logs is against TOS or something, so you would have to outline restrictions and rules in the TOS and community guidelines…

  15. When watching popular channels, the chat is often a wall of emote spam not saying anything, and any 'actual' chat messages disappear too fast to read. It would be very useful to hide any messages that are just repeated emotes.

  16. Allow the partner badge to be blocked/disabled by the streamer in their own chat so NO partner badges appear in their chat.

    This can help with anxiety that may be caused by seeing this and not knowing the person or also block any passive advertising the partner may be doing/aiming for.

    so simply put:
    The streamer should be able to remove the partner badge from their own chat altogether for all users chatting in that chat.

  17. On the left side of viewers names in chat, have a small profile picture so that people are more distinguishable. Would be better for smaller streamers and looks aesthetically pleasing. You could also make this an option that streamers can set in their chat settings.

  18. BTTV/FFZ/7TV all have that option to resize the font of the Stream Chat, as well as an option to make emotes bigger or smaller on the client, all on the client side.

    This would be a very welcome change as a lot of details on emotes are often lost, or become much harder to read with how smaller they become otherwise.

    This is also a good accessibility upgrade for those with poor sight like I have or those playing Twitch on bigger screens, as the main font in twitch chat is much harder to read otherwise.

    I do know that…

  19. Having any more than a couple emotes causes my chat box to lag horribly with the new chat options. It would be nice to have a toggle in the options somewhere to turn off having embedded pictures in the chat box.

  20. I would be very grateful if the twitch chat had a line break function. The commands and automatic messages would be easier and more friendly to the viewers.
