1. Bitrate and quality NEED to be FIX!!

   can you at least give small creators who don't have an affiliation to have an option for their viewers to choose which quality they want to watch, and at least provide us with an 8000-bit rate to 12000-bit rate this is because when we clip our own stream to provide more awareness, the video quality is really bad. So I hope someday it would change the system in the future.

2. If I pause, pause!

   If I replay a VOD and want to pause it and watch something on another tab, even though I paused it, if I click to another browser tab, the VOD resumes within a few seconds. And so I have to click back to the VOD tab to pause it. And I can only do anything else if I close the twitch page, otherwise the VOD starts, which I would pause if I could.

3. Middle East

   I live in Saudi Arabia and there is no server near us

   All Gulf countries suffer from the same problem, and our audience is very strong, and we have all the required capabilities and qualifications, but unfortunately, to this day, we suffer from the problem that we do not have any servers in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc.

4. Transcoding/Video Quality Options For "Path To Affiliate"

   If a small streamer reaches 3 of the 4 "Path To Affiliate" Achievements/Requirements that should make all the Video Quality options (240p,360p,480p,720p) etc be available the next time the streamer goes live. That way if the streamer is putting in the time, work, effort to grow, they have a better chance of gaining followers that will lead them to Partner status. At this rate all starting smaller streamers and streamers that haven't yet reached Partner are forced to mulitstream just so we have viewable options for viewers on low bandwidth internet and 4G / 5G connections. I feel like "Path To Affiliate" could reward not only the streamer but also the viewers that show up regularly. In testing I found even if I run my stream at 720p30fps with 3k bitrate my stream will still be stuck on loading when watched on a mobile 5G connection. The only time the stream stays stable for mobile connections is when the 480P or lower options are available.

5. Solve this infuriating Error #2000 ********. Also, PROVIDE SOME ******* CUSTOMER SUPPORT!

   Here's an idea, get your **** to work properly, and provide customer support for when your worthless dogshit doesn't work. This error 2000 ******** has clearly been a TWITCH PROBLEM FOR YEARS, while you do nothing about it and can't even be bothered to provide even the most basic customer support to solve the issue. I have no further use for twitch, since it doesn't work and twitch staff can't be bothered to do anything about it.

6. Please for the love of god improve the app/integrated app performance of you platform

   Please actually update the android and iOS streaming to chromecast/device options. I'm watching a chill stream and its literally 240/360p for most of the time im sending to device even if they're standing completely still while grabbing a drink, its absolutely embarrassing a company of your size and supposed coding expertise can't figure out how to make "supported apps" run at a half decent resolution.

7. Show the CDN the broadcaster is streaming to and the CDN you are pulling from in "Advanced -> Video Stats"

   So, on desktop, when you click cogwheel -> "Advanced" -> "Video stats" - you will see advanced stats, such as the estimated latency, the number of skipped frames, the FPS, and so on.

   Would be good to see the server the broadcaster is uploading to, and the server you are downloading from - would greatly help with reporting and/or solving connection issues. And since it'd be under "Advanced", the average user wouldn't see that, so it wouldn't generate a lot of complaints.

8. Improve Garbage Collection of Webapp

   I've noticed that Twitch seems to have a major garbage collection problem. I use Firefox (97.0.1 currently).

   Granted, I currently have 5 streams open with 4 of them tiled on my TV, however, the memory usage can be seen in excess of 10 GB.

   When I do manual garbage collection via about:memory?verbose, it can drop back down to about 2-3 GB total usage on the main process with 5 streams open.

   This sort of memory bloat only happens when I use Twitch. Firefox reports that the memory is under control (less than 1 GB total) in about:performance, but it seems to only happen when Twitch is open.

   Edit: To add to this, since I think it's related:

   I am currently watching ironmouse for example. For some reason the entire UI seems to choke, as well as the video will stutter. It is completely random. It seems to happen on her stream most often and not really anyone else's that much.

9. Make vertical scrollbars extend to the edge of the window

   The vertical scrollbars on most pages don't extend to the edge of the window (Browser dev tools indicate a 2 pixel gap between scollbar and the edge). Which means that when the window is maximized, you can't just jam the cursor to the right of the screen and click to grab the scrollbar. You have to make effort to very carefully move the cursor into the extremely tiny 6 pixel wide scrollbar and then grab it.

10. I have found a solution to lagging that occurs for many twitch streamers

    I have found a concrete solution to the lag that causes many streamers the issue of the stream lagging when a stream is occurring and have written a small solution paper to address the solution.

    Twitch Stream Lagging Solution

    If you a gamer many people are engaged in streaming on one of the platforms
    for gaming such as twitch. The focus of this article is to hopefully provide an

    insight into an issue which many people find after they’ve been streaming for
    a bit. Consider this, you finally got your status as paid in twitch and you’re

    starting to get money in your account and than it starts to happen. Your

    stream begins to lag every time that your on it.

     You become really concerned, begin to do all your research on it.  What 
    

    really bites is that your dad perhaps or even you just got that new pc installed

    and your thinking to yourself, how could this be? So you begin to make all

    normal troubleshooting moves with twitch. Your using Streamlabs Obs, most
    likely, or twitch studio, you check all the settings for streaming, changing the

    recommended settings you find on every article on streaming and lagging

    that you find on the internet.

     Here is the issue, the solution lies in the connectivity, windows 10 has 
    

    different upgrades since windows 7 & windows 8. One of those upgrades is

    Windows has built into it a set of algorithms that automatically choose

    which connection is best for your use on the network. For example, if your

    used to using ethernet cable, you might be surprised to find out when your

    gaming and you begin to lag. To cut to the chase, I was researching this for

    my son’s issue and here is where the rabbit hole took me.

    On my home system which is with Cox network 1 gb connection because

    we’re both into gaming and streaming, I checked the router logs and found

    that the IPv6 which is the wi-fi was getting wan-attacks on the firewall logs.

    Wan stands for “wide area network”, and the numbers were significant, at

    least between 1500-7058, on a daily basis. When there was “black ice” on

    windows side, and also Linux ubuntu, there was a few programs that would

    identify the ip address from where the attack originated. I found out that a

    a lot of them originated from China and the orient.

    I m going to weave this to relevance now, what has been happening is that

    windows will switch your connection from the ethernet to the wif-fi network

    connection and so what happens is that your busy streaming and it begins to

    lag, and you want to quit. It can be quite , maddening and to say the least

    frustrating, because you thought that you had a solid connection, at least

    thats what your paying for right ?

     So we go back to the windows command shell, cmd at the search field in 
    

    windows and type the command “ipconfig” and it shows that our ethernet is

    disconnected, but the wifi does show a connection. Heres the thing, your

    connections to your network shifted to the wifi instead of the ethernet

    connection you have directly via ethernet cable to the router. You can thanks

    windows metric algorithms for changing your connection automatically.

       The reason for the lag is that most folks in the US are being attacked on 
    

    wifi networks on a daily basis at some point in the day you can look at the

    router logs and see the attacks on the network. Yes the firewall will block

    them however, it will still have the effects of causing lags when your playing

    your favorite games, and Streaming to your favorite platform, like Twitch.

     The solution to this dilemma is to in the windows 10 search field on the 
    

    task bar, type in wifi. It will take you to the settings tab when you click on it

    where you can simply turn off the wifi connection manually and it will stay

    off, so that you can just use your static internet connection you created in

    your network adapter, instead of your wifi connection. So at this point ,

    your lagging issue will go bye bye, happiness will return as well as the

    money for streaming and all will be well.

     The attacks will probably continue as Korea and China are still training 
    

    their army of hackers , so the rule of thumb here is to sidestep your troubles

    and stick to using your ethernet cable connection to your router, and use a

    static IP address for your gaming connection or for that fact any other type of

    work I as a business that connects to the internet .

     Else-wise, one will find themselves vulnerable to the continuing attacks.
    

    On a side note, if the wifi doesn’t show up in windows 10 you have to go

    through a few additional steps, such as opening device manager, finding the

    wifi driver listed, right click and choose, update driver, and choose search on

    your machine. Once that is done choose the driver it finds on your machine

    most likely it will show intel and also Microsoft. I choose Microsoft,

    because the driver on wifi was showing intel, and the wifi on my son’s pc

    was not showing up in the network connections. After this then , hit

    “scan hardware for changes” on the little icon in the menu area ..After this

    open the task manager up and highlight windows explorer and restart it.

     After doing this you will notice in the taskbar that the wifi does now in
    

    fact show up and you can manually click on it to turn it off so that your

    connection to the internet will be thru your ethernet cable to your router.

     I wrote this because my son asked me to write him a text so he could 
    

    check it before he starts his computer for gaming , lol. I hope this has been

    helpful and of course check your streaming settings if you’re feeling that

    could be the cause, and by all means check to see which connection your

    gaming is actually using !

11. Allowing affiliates to "buy" transcoding ability.

    Since I only stream for 4 hours a week, I'll never see Partner in my future. However as an affiliate, we are not always guaranteed a transcodeable stream. I know I have viewers that can not even handle the 720P stream I'm pushing, but I don't want to bump my overall stream setting down for 2-3 viewers, leaving the other 100 with a lesser experience. Since I'm not in this for monetizing, I would welcome the ability to "purchase" the ability to transcode my streams with guaranteed ability like Partners have.

12. Implement a "Zero Buffer" option for Mods, at least.

    I find myself becoming ineffective as a Mod when my buffer slips to 20 and 30 seconds long. Any time the stream from the channels I mod gets laggy I find myself seriously behind Real Time. While reloading the page can help with this, every time I do I miss large chunks of stream time, possibly missing relevant contextual information for knowing when to Allow or Override the AutoMod. (When AutoMod catches the message "Oh look, its Captain D i c k!" it's relevant for me to quickly know that a man named D i c k was just introduced on-stream.) (Edit: Really? As if to prove my point that context is important, I had to edit this name in order to not have it censored in this message)

    I can understand that an option like this can make the stream choppier, and that you may be hesitant to open an option like this to the general userbase, but for someone who is "working" its worth the compromise.

    Sometimes I find myself in a place or location where my internet connection isn't great, I'm sure I'm not alone and it doesn't make sense that you can't reduce the resolution. Why is this even a restriction? I want to support and enjoy certain smaller streamers and find myself not being able to for this reason

14. Transcoding for all streamers in India

    India is probably one of the biggest markets for anything related to digital content consumption and VOD industry. Twitch has no market share here because of the simple reason new streamers doesn't get any transcoding. Twitch can be huge and beat fellow platforms if they start with some specific policies for the Indian Subcontinents including payments in local currency. However that all should start with transcoding hours and local data centers so that the viewers are able to watch the content with limited data.

16. Set video quality per stream, not globally

    Please allow the viewers to set the video quality of each stream separately, instead of globally. This will allow the viewers to override streams that use unusually (and unwanted) high video quality while also maintaining a valid quality on other streams.

20. Make VODs default to Source quality when navigated to from Clips

    VODs currently default to 160p if navigated to from a Clip.
    This only pertains to the "twitch.tv/channelname/clip/uniqueslug" pages, not the older "clips.twitch.tv/uniqueslug" pages.
    This also doesn't happen if you click "Watch Full Video" after creating a clip, as you're on a "clips.twitch.tv/uniqueslug" page at that point.

    Specific reproduction steps - follow them closely:
    1. Go to any Twitch channel page
    2. Click the channels avatar to expand the featured/videos section.
    3. Click Videos -> Find a clip and click the clip
    4. Click the "Watch Full Video" in the lower right corner just below the player
    4.1 (If no "Watch Full Video" button is present on the page, there's no available VOD for this clip. Try a different clip until you find one that has a VOD available)
    5. Observe how the VOD defaults to 160p

    This appears to be the only case where the VOD always defaults to 160p. Navigating to a VOD in various other ways, either by manually copy/pasting the URL of a VOD, clicking a VOD directly from a channel, clicking a VOD from a recommended section on Twitch, etc. never defaults the VOD to 160p.

    VODs currently default to 160p if navigated to from a Clip.
    This only pertains to the "twitch.tv/channelname/clip/uniqueslug" pages, not the older "clips.twitch.tv/uniqueslug" pages.
    This also doesn't happen if you click "Watch Full Video" after creating a clip, as you're on a "clips.twitch.tv/uniqueslug" page at that point.

    Specific reproduction steps - follow them closely:
    1. Go to any Twitch channel page
    2. Click the channels avatar to expand the featured/videos section.
    3. Click Videos -> Find a clip and click the clip
    4. Click the "Watch Full Video" in the lower right corner just below the player
