Add a symbol that imitates line-break Sometimes you need to post information to your channel that is best viewed when its multiline, like a table with header and rows, list of items or some mini-report from the channel bot.
Since IRC can't use CRLF in messages, I suggest adding a way for channel mods (avoids abuse) to use a special symbol (or double-space as in markdown) that would visually act as a line break.
That way it would be possible for mods (users and bots) to post quick summaries to the channel that are easy to read and do not require several posts to make it…

Make founder badge looks like a flair on the main subscriber badge. Sometimes we want both badges to appear (founder and subscriber badge). It could be nice if both can appear at the same time and specifically if founder looks like a flair on the main subscriber badge.

Include the option to use 24h clock in chat timestamps Having 12h times is confusing, since where I live, all printed times are always given in 24h format.
I'd like there to be a UI option to switch between.
If feasible, the default settings whould depend on the user's locale, so most people would never need to touch it - it'd be "right" for them automatically.

Often there's no live update for whisper For over a year now, many users have to reload the Twitch page to see new whisper.

Add 24 hours timestamp format To turn on or off the timestamp for chatmessages is a great feature but, it's very annoying you can't select 24 hours format. Please add an option to select between 12 and 24 hour time format.

Make replies an extra tab If you want to make it easier for users to follow a conversation (which is a good idea, even if this implementation seems messy), let their @ mentions be a separate tab that they can click into and see, rather than cluttering the main chat experience.

Ability to hide MOD BADGE The ability to hide the Mod Badge/ Sword from view.
This is especially important for communities that are on the smaller side where new viewers may be intimidated by the amount of mods with their badge chatting.
It also allows certain moderators to mod anonymously.

New chat mode, 'Anti-backseat Chat Mode' An idea that would help streamers control chat from back seating when playing puzzle games.
Allowing mods to put singular users into emote only mode if repeat offenders.
Allowing extra blacklisted words and phrases to be activated when only in this mode. (blacklisting things like 'the other way' 'wrong shape' ect ect.. for aslong as the mode is active.
Adding a banner somewhere in chat or overlay somewhere letting users know anti-backseat mode is active and not to do it.

Add a Follow button to in-chat user interface Add a follow button to the in chat user interface. We now have the ability as a streamer or viewer to add friends, whisper, gift sub, see previous messages etc. but no ability to follow directly from chat. It would save multiple clips and the additional need of opening another tab. Personally I have other streamers come into my chat and I want to follow them right then while I'm live.

Smooth Chat Scrolling I think you could follow the chat easier if it was not immediately pushed one line up, instead it should be pushed in from bottom with a small animation.
the speed of the animation could be calculated by an algorithm involving messages/minute(second) the more messages the faster the animation.

'@@[username]' to reply to last message by user When replying to users, an individual is required to remove their hand from the keyboard to the mouse to click on the message of the user.
For a smoother replying experience, more in-line with the current practice of using '@', I would suggest offering '@@[user]' to reply to the thread containing the last message of that user. If there is no last message, this would default to '@' behaviour.
This update would improve accessibility for users that have difficulty using a mouse and also facilitates ease-of-use for those without accessibility requirements. Overall I believe this would improve the utility of,…21 votes -
Have a /noraid {time} command Need a short way to disable inbound raids for a nominated number of minutes.
Proposed use-case: Im streaming and I know I will end in say 10 mins. It benefits no-one if a raid-in occurs during that last10 mins. Being able to issue a short command to temporarily disable Allow raids would be quite utility in nature
At the end of the time specified the raid settings as per channel settings would be restored20 votes -
Custom vip and mod badges I think that streamers should have the ability to be able to make their own custom mod and vip badges, without frankerfacez.
Since not every streamer has FFZ, they should have the ability to make their own since the default sword and diamond can potentially not fit a streamers theme/color theme. A lot of streamers have those. and the current colors can not fit those
Sure, sub badges are meant for those in a way, but if a streamer wants it all to fit together, custom vip and mod badges would be a great help to those streamers
If you…

Add link whitelist The same way you can blacklist and whitelist terms in the chat, it would be useful to be able to whitelist links in the chat. Using a bot for this is not ideal because the links is deleted by the bot and still visible to users with extensions. Messages with links should not be sent at all and some links/domains should be whitelistable

Proper DM System, not our current Whisper System. I'd really love a proper DM system similar to other social sites, group chats, good comms, stable software etc. Personally love Instagram and twitter format, but ours really... sucks. I have ZERO incentive to use Twitch as a means of communication. I run a lot of giveaways for big streamers and have to DM people which usually results in a blacklist because im messaging too many people, hence why I never use whispers and just ask people to DM me on other platforms. I'd love to see reactions enabled, proper linking and formatting, no weird server disconnects, messages not sending/appearing,…

Chat Badge to Editors Twitch should create a chat badge for editors, such as VIPs, administrators and moderators. It can be a square with a pencil inside, for example

Allow the ability to switch chat to the left side of the screen Allow the option to have chat on the left side of the window and the other options like the search bar and the friends list on the right side. Reason being that with dual monitor setups, if I'm playing a game on my left monitor, the chat is much farther away from my line of vision, reducing the ability to mod effectively

Making the chat not lag... Making the chat not lag so you don’t post something randomly in chat and so you can see the chat in real time instead of having to refresh the app because chat gets stuck causing you to miss out on replies and other comments
