Multiple Chat Channels 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.

DM character limit Twitch has imposed a 4,000 character limit for DMs. It would be extremely helpful if there was a counter with the composition window that showed a user how many remaining characters may be typed in a message before that limit is reached.
I learned of this limit the hard way; one time I clicked 'Send' on a message, only to get a screen with a red box across the top of it informing me my message had exceeded the character limit and my message hadn't been sent. Unfortunately, the text of that message was lost too.

[Test] Community Intro We are experimenting with a new feature that allows new viewers in a channel to introduce themselves via a simple prompt. Messages sent through this feature will be highlighted to the rest of Chat with an invitation to welcome the user via chat reply or @mention. This feature is in a limited release, and we will monitor feedback before deciding whether to make it more widely available.
Channels are enrolled in the experiment automatically and randomly, and creators can toggle the feature on and off in their Moderation settings under Chat Options: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/settings/moderation
We'd love to hear your thoughts and…

/rules command As rules appear only once and not a lot of people really reads them in reality it would be a good idea to implement /rules command that would show the rules popup.

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

Lots of unicode emojis being broken due to ZWJ being filtered out I've been looking into an issue where quite a few Unicode emojis break down when being send in the chat. This seems can be observed on both the website as the mobile client, as well as in the chat client I'm working on. The root cause seems to be that the "Zero Width Joiner" character (200D in UTF-16 hex representation) gets filtered out somewhere inside the IRC system. This will cause for example the following emoji (🧑🤝🧑) to break down into (🧑🤝🧑)
This issue eventually results in 1329 of the 3512 emojis specified in Unicode 13.1 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/13.1/emoji-test.txt filtered on…

Chat messages visible only for Mods and Streamer. Sometimes as a mod you need to tell something quick to other mods or to the channel streamer and you have to rely on other platforms like Discord or Twitter (or whispers) which makes it slow and tedious.
It would be great to write something in chat and make it visible only for other mods and the streamer, maybe a pinned message for 30 seconds on the same area where Hype trains and other important things appear.
The streamer could enable/disable this feature and the time to make this messages available.19 votes -
[Feature] Shoutout Chat Command Hi, all! We're thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a new native chat command that allows you to give another streamer a shoutout in chat, so that you can introduce them to your viewers and help them grow! Here's an overview of the key features all broadcasters and mods can expect to see in September:
Use "/shoutout [channel]" to support another streamer by displaying a follow button for their channel in chat, so your viewers can support by following them without leaving your live stream.
If the channel getting the shoutout has a stream schedule set up, it will also…18 votesHey everyone! Just wanted to pop in and let you all know we're rolling out Shoutouts starting today! You can learn more here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/shoutouts

Give an option to remove "deleted messages" from view entirely. You are currently capable of reviewing those deleted messages but most people are not interested in that and at least in my small audience i heard that they would love to have an option removing those "message deleted" messages entirely.
Make it default perhaps?
Mods and people that actually care about that (for honesty ... what reason...?) can turn it on in the settings.18 votes -

Command Chat This idea specifically pertains to command driven channels, like Twitch Plays Pokemon, SaltyBet, and the like. Generally in channels like this it becomes very difficult to read conversation when the chat is flooded by commands, and depending on the channel, bot responses to those commands.
My suggestion would be to grant channel owners the option to have a bot/command specific chat log, perhaps with a simple vertical separation from the standard chat, so as to separate commands from conversation.

Pins 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.16 votes -
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…
16 votesHey 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!

Birthday badge becomes visible on your birthday only A badge for both creators AND chat members.
The creator badge will be shown next to the creators name on their live stream thumbnail, as well as in the title of the stream next to their name, but also will show the chatters birthdays as well.
Weve all been in a chat and someone obnoxiously @s the streamer saying "ITS MY FRIENDS DOGS COUSINS SISTERS BIRTHDAY TODAY - CAN YOU SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BIG BERTHA!??"
If we have a birthday badge, it will subtly put that exciting news out there without anyone having to tell anyone else about it…

Support right to left text alignment when typing arabic and english text at the same sentence. Support right to left text alignment when typing arabic and english text at the same sentence.
As example:
السلام عليكم يا jon لدي بعض الاخبار لك
In this example, some text came before other text, when translating the above sentence we get:"I have some news to you jon peace be upone you mr."
The above sentence should be in the same order as this:
لدي بعض الاخبار لك jon السلام عليكم يا
When we translate this sentence we get:"Peace be upone you mr. jon, I have some news to you."
As we can see those two examples have…

Allawing streamer to hide partner badge in their own chat 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.15 votes -
Implement full native chat logs for Twitch 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…

Return the ability to show text in chat box instead of emotes/animated emotes 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.

Blocked terms / blacklist for Whispers A similar feature to chat blocked term or other form of blacklist words for chat whispers.
This thought came up because the "Want to be famous" bots have taken to whispers instead of chat. But this feature would be great to ease issues of harrassment being able to block potential slurs or other disparraging words.
In chat we have blocked terms as well as third party bots to filter out spam or unwanted words. But bots don't currently have the ability to filter whispers and twitch has no native method to block unwanted whispers outside of fully blocking all whispers.
