  1. I think Twitch should show how many unique viewers are actively participating in chat compared to the total number of viewers.
    A small number of highly active chatters can sometimes make their opinions appear to represent the entire audience. For example, a stream may have 10,000 viewers, while only 200 people are actively chatting. If a small group repeatedly posts the same negative opinion, it can create the impression that “everyone” feels that way, even though most viewers have not expressed any opinion at all.
    This can also influence other viewers, who may assume that the dominant opinion in chat…

  2. How does twitch not currently have a birthday cake emote?

    This shouldn't be something streamers have to individually add to their channels. Everyone has a birthday and it's an event that can be celebrated in chat.

    What a disappointment to find it isn't in there yet. This can be fixed forever in less than 10 minutes.

  3. Add timestamps on mobile chat. They work great on PC, but are not yet available on mobile.

  4. Some of my legit viewers and several streamers I know are leaving the platform to protect the viewers privacy. Allowing streamers to enable temporarily or permanently is perfect, making it mandatory (specially when the streamer has disabled it) is a problem.

    Please revert it.

  5. Twitch made it extremely difficult for me to chat anywhere... even my own stream chat where I am the broadcaster... here is the gif as proof https://i.ibb.co/dxvLS9F/twitch-proof.gif . Twitch please allow creators to make their OWN decisions on who they deem needs to have phone verification. It seems weird to make that decision for them when what they had was already working, especially for long time lurkers and chatters like myself.

  6. As the system currently works, messages sharing a user's Watch Streak cannot be deleted by moderators and stay in chat after the user is banned. This allows the feature to be used to force unsavory messages to remain in chat.

  7. If you are banned in a person's chat and they are doing a shared chat with someone else, you shouldn't be banned from chatting in the other person you aren't banned in's chat! My suggestion is to make it so you can not appear in the person you are banned in's chat at all! not be completely removed from chatting in the other person's chat altogether

  9. Twitch should implement a feature that allows moderators and streamers to repopulate the chat rules for specific users who may have neglected to adhere to them. This would serve as a helpful reminder for those individuals, reinforcing the importance of following community guidelines and ensuring a positive environment for everyone in the chat. By providing this option, streamers can promote better behavior and enhance the overall experience for all participants in their streams.

  10. So this is it, pinned messages blocks the top of the chat and if there is a poll or something ongoing on the top of the chat, can't interact with it.

    So make a floating pinned message is a really bad idea IMHO.

  11. Mods in a shared chat shouldn’t be able to timeout or ban mods from other communities. It just doesn’t make sense and can cause major problems, especially for smaller communities with fewer mods.

  12. Messages often get buried among regular chatters. To increase visibility of those who do not regularly chat, their message could be highlighted automatically to indicate this, perhaps to the streamer only. Whether to apply the highlight could be determined based on the date-time of the last sent message, or similar.

  13. Allow users to upvote a chat message, or tag/react to it as funny/smart/agree etc. With enough upvotes or tags, that message is highlighted or enlarged in some way. When it scrolls to the top it is stuck or pinned there for a few seconds before scrolling away.

  14. Sometimes a streamer just bans a person in chat, but sometimes they talk to them first.

    It can be confusing to know who they are talking to. Chances are the streamer or the mods likely clicked on the person's username of the person they are not having a good time interacting with.

    That clicking action could cause the words [USER YOU BLOCKED] simply in the first instance of that troll in the chat, where the streamer or mod clicked.

    Now any interactions by the other chatters with the troll will be more obvious. And you will not be looking for…

  15. "******" is a slur when used deragotory and therefore I think it should be banned when context is bad.

  16. mobile twitch overlay chat needs settings that allow tweaking the background/text opacity&size, the option to hide the other buttons on the other side, & integration of 3rd party emotes for a better experience for the watcher

  17. Mouseovers for channel points and emotes pop up too soon, get in the way and make it difficult to select. It gets annoying and time consuming to mouse away to somewhere else on screen and back to select an emote or a series of them in my commonly used that is blocked by a mouseover popup {userYYemoteZ}. I already know whose emote it is! Also same problem with the bonus channel point redeem. I can't click on it when it's covered by the mouseover pop up. I can see how some nerd thought it might be a neat idea, but…

  18. When automod catches a message and its denied, the whole message including the persons name who sent it disappears, which is a pain for wanting to ban the person if needed. Can there be something remaining for only mods to see, so we can ban the name?

  19. The popup for the emote description that comes up when cursoring over an emote in chat is causing it to be hard to select things in chat. I.E. when highlighting a raid message to right click and copy it when the channel you are watching raids another channel.

  20. Or popout the stream in a better place where people wouldn't mind it to be blocked, like the following sidebar.
