We all know that AVC has issues with efficiency an HEVC is basically dead.
A more modern codec would not only be great for streamers and high definition content, it would also potentially reduce the load on the servers.

Benefits with AV1:
- It's open source so no license costs like HEVC
- It's much more efficient than AVC and even HEVC

Benefits of Opus:
- Basically the same as AV1

Have a setting to record when streaming is started along with the ability to have overlay parts hidden from recording.

Start playing nice with VPNs. I use a paid VPN and I am constantly being disconnected from the chat and missing out on chat logs. The video also randomly disconnects. I watch other streaming services and this does not happen.

The pitch is roughly the same as in https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310207-video-performance/suggestions/35766724-allow-non-partnered-streams-access-to-low-quality
I get that transcoding require a lot of ressources, especially with so many people streaming, so I get that automatic transcoding is only available to partners. But it would be cool to allow (non partner) streamers who wish to transcode themselves their stream so that they can provide 2-3 level of quality based on their viewers bandwidth. I believe this would not be very difficult, to do, and would be better than current situation

The AI that mutes copyrighted content far overextends what is actually copyrighted, for example an average song is 3 minutes long and from my personal experience the bot mutes around 7 minutes which is utterly rediculous. If there is some reason that this is happening at least add an option to automatically skip the muted sections of the VODs

I can't speak for everyone, but 160p is by far the worst looking, and sounding, quality. For those with terrible internet speeds, that's fine, but I'm totally fine with my video 30 seconds behind the streamer over this terrible quality that's coming in regardless of what quality I put it at (as it automatically downgrades to 160p if it can't handle it, heavens forbid we put you 15 seconds behind the streamer). I just want the ability to tell twitch on my side, once and for all, NO 160P QUALITY FOR ME.

Please add an option to disable autoplay for the viewer. This way those who want it can still have it but those of us who don't want it can turn it off. Thank you!

Most of the time, I'll open a stream and watch 5-15 seconds of it just to get a sense of if I want to watch it. I might go through 6 or 7 channels before picking one to watch. If I have to sit through a 30 second ad just to immediately decide I don't want to watch that particular stream, then it's not worth using the site at all.

VOD's need a drastic update! How do you expect that users upload videos if even the past broadcast function doesent work properly?

A couple feature that we are in desperate need of:

• General stability update


• On the fly rewind


• VOD search (Title) for viewers


• VOD ratings systems (viewers can vote 1-5 stars)


• Viewer VOD Ranking (depending on rating)


• Skip muted parts (setting)


• remove the commentary function


• mobile download cache (look at VOD's offline)

this would allow video quality options to spread out more evenly rather than just the 5 100K streamers. i would prefer either, but if 720p was reserved as the middle man for anything above 1080p that'd be great thanks!

Fix for vod pausing, fullscreen the vod and alt tab to another window.

Worked for me, found by googling.
Perhaps twitch coders can find a workaround with testing?

Twitch iştirak programındayım, 720p yayın veriyorum ancak bazı günler yayın açtığımda video kalite seçeneği varken bazı günler yayına geçtiğimde video kalite seçeneği olmuyor. bu gerçekten can sıkıcı hale geldi. nedir problem acaba ?

Adverts play perfectly in HD infuriatingly often during the stuttering 160px playback but videos are unwatchable because of buffering and lag issues - why not put the Twitch content on the same servers as the adverts then none of us would have such appalling playback.

do you guys think this is a fucking joke?

As a new Affiliate, I would like to upload a video without the video taking up time on my stream so that I cannot stream when I want to. Also, the video premier takes away from my "active" stream time as far as concurrent viewers during my entire stream day when I look at my stats. It includes the entire time my channel had something going on and drops my average views. It's very discouraging.

i'm seeing that quite a few other people are also having serious problems with VODs stuttering to the point of being unwatchable. twitch is owned by one of the largest companies of the world with infinite resources. there's no excuse for being so bad at something that the rest of the internet had on lock like 14 years ago, especially when video is the entire reason for your existence. or just let me download them so i don't have to deal with your awful vod service.
