1. Add more Ingest servers to South America.

   The only servers at the moment in SA are located in Brazil. Even though we are in the same continent, that doesn't means that the connection would be great for those who use the servers. I'm from Chile and even though I have 600m/s upload connection I'm losing frames constantly. Adding a server for those who live to the South part(Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru) could have at least one server in any of those countries and the North part can use the server at Brazil or add another server even more to the North.

2. (South) African Twitch Ingest Server

   It would be great if you guys could set an African, or South African, server up at some point in the not-too-distant future. I live in South Africa and have a really hard time streaming to any of the EU, let alone the NA or Asian ones. Currently YouTube has streaming servers here but it just isn't the same streaming to YouTube Gaming. The Twitch community is what makes it what it is and not being able to run a stable stream from here in South Africa turns so many would-be streamers away from potential bright futures on Twitch.tv. We have a large community of gamers ready and waiting.

   Please consider setting a server up for us down here or wherever else you can that's not too far. South Africa and the other countries nearby deserve a chance too! :D

4. Higher max. bitrate for everyone including NON-Partners.

   To put it simple: I'd like to stream my 1080p60 gameplay in better quality.

   My guess is that everyone would like to do it.

   For example: YouTube Gaming's recommended bitrate ranges from 4,500 to 9,000 kbps for 1080p60. Here we can use up to 3,100 without having fear that the stream will stutter a lot for the viewers.

   Would be awesome if we could get it here as well. Along with Quality options.

   As a NON-partner.

   Give us a chance to grow our channels with quality from the beginning.

5. Increase the bitrate for source quality.

   I understand people can't watch HQ streams because they have low internet speed but it's not fair for those who can.Games have a lot of foliage which makes the game look very bad.

6. Give a chance to little channels to grow or atleast let people see what they came for. Transcoding options.

   First of all, forgive my mistakes in English is not my native language. I made this in two languages to make more people able to vote for this.

   /////////////////////////////////////////

   Primero de todo, disculpar mis errores en inglés, no es mi lenguaje nativo. He hecho esto en dos idiomas para poder conseguir que más gente que vote esta iniciativa. La petición en español se encuentra debajo de la explicación en inglés.

   EXPLANATION IN ENGLISH.

   Dear staff of Twitch.tv,

   it’s been a little time for me doing live broadcasts and I would like to address an issue that I been thinking closely and so how it can be solved.

   I haven’t been streaming for a long time on Twitch.tv, that’s a reality. But somehow I keep having the same issue that keeps existing and it is latently in the Spanish and Latin America community especially.

   The issue lies that a lot of people living in Spain still doesn’t have good connections that are able to maintain live broadcasts with source quality.
   Only in cityes you may be able to get stable connections upper than 3Mb, and I would like to undermark the word stable, since you need that in order to follow a live broadcast.
   This case is even worse at Latin America, which having an stable connection of 3Mb may be considered in some cases a luxury or simply something not accesible for everyone.

   Being this the reality, I see everyday how a lot of people enter my channel and leaves because the broadcast keeps loading or suffer cuts that makes the visualization impossible. Some people express himself and ends up leaving, others simply don’t bother.

   They simple see that are only capable to follow content on partnered channels where there is a lot of people, but that content may not be of his interest, and after all leave the platform.

   Everyday I see how Twitch.tv and I keep losing potential viewers that would like to enjoy the platform but they cannot.
   And this issue it may be happening in a lot of channels, but here I can only explain my experience.
   Since I talk from my own experience I refer to the Spanish and Latin American community which is my target, but maybe other new streamers from other countryes are having the same issue.

   I really like to stream everything I play, from here I give you my sincere congratulations for achieving make this platform so big. But I got something else to ask you and that is to not forget about those who are today big we’re also small.

   This is the problem, which maybe you have proof about it and I have tried to express. But also I would like to share a the solution I have been thinking about, and if you consider it somewhow end up applying it.

   I have seen that there’s a subscription mode called Turbo for those people that are interested in the advantages that you actually offer.

   Why not put to that service an option for new broadcasters that could allow the capacity of doing it in different quality?

   I would be happy to be pay if my issue that also benefits Twitch.tv would been fixed. All those people I’m talking about won’t be leaving again, they would stay, enjoying what they’re expecting to see.

   One of the examples I have thinking about it’s about creating an additional subscription called Streamer Turbo or Turbo2. Which

   Streamer Turbo would be an independent service from Turbo, and Turbo2 would be an upgrade.
   Streamer Turbo would give the chance to stream in various quality.
   Or the case of Turbo2, the streamers will be paying for the actual subscription of Turbo an a bonus to access to stream in various quality.

   Dear Twitch.tv staff, there are a lot of channels that doesn’t have the minium followers to ask for partnership like mine which has a short life, but I think that you’re big enough to bring a solution to this issue.

   This may sound like a personal letter, but is nothing like an adapted mail I sent some time ago to the support center.
   After all they could do was to give me some advice and refer me to this page to make this petition, which I also appreciate since I didn’t know that this section existed.

   Please, have in mind that this is not for me, is for all Twitch.tv new and old streamers, that nowadays are still uncapable to have this issue solved.

   I would like to once again thank you for your time and I send you a cordial greeting expecting to hear from you soon.

   Thanks a lot.

   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
   Traducción a Español.

   Querido personal de Twitch.tv,

   tras algún tiempo haciendo retransmisiones en vivo me pongo en contacto con vosotros para tratar un asunto que llevo algunos días pensándolo detenidamente y así mismo cómo podría solucionarse.

   No llevo mucho tiempo en Twitch.tv retransmitiendo, es una realidad. Sin embargo me encuentro con un problema que sí existe y es latente en la comunidad Española y de Latinoamérica.

   El problema radica en que muchas de las personas residentes en España, por raro que parezca aún siguen sin tener buenas conexiones que sean capaces de mantener retransmisiones en vivo con calidad original.
   Solo en ciudades se pueden conseguir líneas estables superiores a 3Mb, y quiero remarcar la palabra estable, ya que para seguir retransmisiones existe esa necesidad.
   El caso que argumento se agrava mucho más en Latinoamérica, donde tener una línea de Internet suficientemente estable o superior a 3Mb podría considerarse un pequeño lujo o simplemente algo no accesible para todos.

   Siendo esta la realidad, todos los días veo como mucha gente entra y se va porque la retransmisión se le corta, se le queda cargando y en definitiva no puede visualizarla correctamente. Algunos lo dicen, otros directamente no se molestan.

   En definitiva ven que solo son capaces de ver canales en los que hay muchísima gente y posiblemente ése contenido no les interese y acaben abandonando la plataforma.

   Todos los días veo como Twitch.tv y yo estoy perdiendo posibles seguidores que les gustaría disfrutar de la plataforma pero no pueden. Posiblemente esté pasando en muchos otros canales, pero sólo puedo exponer mis vivencias.

   A mí me encanta poder retransmitir aquello que estoy jugando y desde aquí os doy mi más sincera enhorabuena por haber conseguido algo tan grande. Pero tengo algo más que pediros y es que no os olvidéis de que aquellos que a día de hoy son grandes también fueron pequeños.

   Os he hecho saber un problema existente, el cuál seguramente tengáis conocimiento de ello y hasta aquí os lo he expresado. A su vez también me gustaría compartir con vosotros una pequeña solución a ello, y si la consideraseis oportuna, os pediría aplicarla.

   He visto que ponéis a disposición de aquellas personas que lo deseen suscribirse a un servicio llamado Turbo.

   ¿Porqué a ese servicio o a otro servicio encarado a personas que retransmiten sin ser socios no añadirle la capacidad de que aquella gente que desee retransmitir en vivo pueda hacerlo en distintas calidades?

   Yo estaría encantado de poder pagar para que mi problema que a su vez también beneficia a Twitch.tv estuviera solucionado. Todas esas personas de las que hablo no se volverían a ir, se quedarían en la plataforma, disfrutarían de aquello que han venido a ver.

   Uno de los ejemplos que se me había ocurrido es crear una subscripción llamada Streamer Turbo o Turbo 2, el cuál sería como un servicio superior o totalmente independiente del Turbo actual.

   Streamer Turbo daría la capacidad de activar la opción de calidad en el canal y ya está.
   O en el caso de Turbo2, los streamers estaríamos pagando por el servicio de Turbo actual y un extra para acceder a la prestación de calidad para los espectadores en el canal.

   Querido personal de Twitch.tv, sé que mi canal no llega a los mínimos para pediros ser vuestro socio, como ya he expresado tiene poca vida, pero creo que sois tan grandes como para poder ofrecer una solución a ello.

   Sé que esto puede parecer una carta, pero no deja de ser un correo adaptado que envié al grupo de soporte hace algún tiempo.
   Después de todo ellos solamente me pudieron dar el consejo de publicar aquí mi petición, para que se tuviera en cuenta, lo cual también agradezco ya que no sabía de la existencia de esta sección.

   Por favor, tener en cuenta que esto no es para mí, es para todos aquellos nuevos y antiguos streamers, que a día de hoy aún siguen teniendo este problema sin resolver.

   Una vez más os doy las gracias por vuestro tiempo y me despido con un cordial saludo esperando tener noticias vuestras.

   Muchas gracias,

   First of all, forgive my mistakes in English is not my native language. I made this in two languages to make more people able to vote for this.

7. Launch Middle East/Pakistani Servers For Twitch

   Dear Sirs,

   I am from Karachi, Pakistan and I am unable to stream properly on twitch as i get high latency on it so please launch Middle east /Pakistani servers for twitch. Due to the unavailability of these servers. I am either directed to Mumbai, Singapore or EU servers on which i get 140ms plus ping if there will be middle east servers. I will be getting around 10 to 40ms ping which would be perfectly fine for low latency streams.

   As Pakistan is the 6th most populated country in the world and the increase in gamers/streamers in Pakistan is rapid so it is necessary for you guys to take these feedback seriously if you dont take action against this now then Pakistanis will be forced to stream on other platforms like Mixer, YouTube etc and grow their community there.

   Thanks

8. partner with Deutsche Telekom 'StreamOn' for Twitch zero-rating

   From April 19th on, Deutsche Telekom will offer zero-rating in germany (much like 'Binge On' by T-Mobile US).
   Twitch's parent company, Amazon, already is a partner (with Amazon Prime Video) from day 1. YouTube will also be a partner from day 1.

   I enjoy watching twitch while on the train, but it eats LOTS of data - this would greatly help, as fast LTE is usually no problem. This will also get you parity with 'YT Gaming' in this regard - the twitch mobile app is much better than YT Gaming in general, but the zero-rated 1080p stream wins...

9. Use IPv6 for both your homepage and the stream

   At the moment, both the Twitch homepage and the actual streaming servers are only reachable over the old IPv4. As there already are providers which only connect their users with DualStack-Lite (this means, IPv6 native and IPv4 over a relatively slow tunnel protocol), it would be good for bandwith-expensive websites like twitch to be reachable over IPv6 - for both the homepage and the streaming servers.

10. 10k Bitrate & Full Transcoding for All Streamers

    As the streaming industry embraces new technology, alongside increased internet speed standards, I would love for Twitch to adopt full transcoding for all active streamers as well as an increase in the bitrate cap to 10k.

    The current issue with the 6k bitrate cap for non-partners is inherently-lowered viewer experience. Viewers are consistently looking for superior quality streams as the first impression of long-term engagement and retention, which the current 6k bitrate cap severely inhibits due to automatic pixelation for high-movement games such as FPS. Since partners have the automatic 8-8.5k bitrate cap increase, this gives partnered content creators an automatically increased opportunity on the platform due to increased video quality enhancement while non-partnered streamers making up over 90% of the platform are automatically handicapped to lower settings.

    In addition, transcoding should be a set standard for all viewers to obtain regardless of partner status and allow for a flexible viewing experience based on viewer internet speeds instead of automatically forcing non-partnered streamers to lower their video quality settings or pray for random transcoding opportunity.

11. We suggest that you apply the p2p method to Korean Twitch and restore 1080p quality.

    I am a Korean Twitch user.

    Not long ago, the maximum video quality for watching Twitch in Korea was fixed at 720p.

    I heard that the reason was that the cost of using the network in Korea was a burden to the operation.

    In addition, I understand that Korea's new network fee bill has made it even more burdensome.

    Koreans fully understand this and are opposed to Korea's additional network usage fee bill.

    As a result, there is a prevailing expectation that this bill will be difficult to pass due to opposition from the National Assembly even in Korea.

    Anyway, apart from that, I would like to say that 1080p quality is almost essential in Korea.

    Currently, Korean Twitch has achieved remarkable growth, solidifying its position as the No. 1 streaming company in Korea, and its image both internally and externally is very good.

    Almost all of the famous game streamers in Korea are broadcasting on Twitch.

    However, after the recent 720p quality, there has been talk between them that they may be forced to move to another platform.

    Because 1080p quality is almost essential for streaming AAA games coming out in the second half of '22 and in the future.

    They have deep concerns that broadcasting will not be able to remain competitive without 1080p quality.

    Accordingly, what I would like to suggest to Twitch is to restore the 1080p quality, but to officially apply the p2p method that was tested.

    Currently, Korean Twitch users fully understand why the p2p method is inevitably necessary.

    And we are very happy with the current Twitch and agree to accept some revenue model to cover our network fees.

    Therefore, we look forward to providing positive feedback on 1080p recovery to our livelihood partner streamers and Korean Twitch users in the near future.

12. Lower Video Quality Options for Affiliates More Consistently

    I have a lot of my community who can't watch me if I stream in 1080p and I would like to stream in 1080p but I can't do that at the risk of losing viewers so can we get more transparent information on when Affiliates will get lower video quality options so every one can enjoy the stream.

14. Egypt Can't stream Directly to Twitch EU servers

    There are routing problems between Egypt and Twitch EU servers that cause frame drops (A lot ) during live streams, by using restreaming platforms FPS drops is solved, however, I lose the perks I get from streaming directly to twitch such as (VODS audio track in OBS Chat extensions) and many others.

    We would like Twitch to keep taking care of the MENA region.

15. Allow users to watch stream at 1080p 30fps

    1080p 30fps instead of just 1080p 60fps (Source) will be great for people with limited internet connection, you can experience quality of video similar to source but at HALF THE BANDWIDTH.

    Right now there is option for 720p, 720p60, 1080p60 (Source)
    Just add an option like 720p, 720p60, 1080p, 1080p60 (Source)

    I have watched people who actually stream at 1080p30 it is a better experience than 720p60.

16. Stop changing the quality of stream automatically, when it is not set to "Auto"

    Additionally, it should NEVER choose any other quality than the last selected. It is utterly annoying having to change quality, reload the page and then make sure the quality doesn't change on it's own, before getting to watch streams.

    • Higher Bitrate: (Above 10.000, with video quality selector can be managed so if someone won't use that high download usage, he can tweak it), we still have a really low bitrate, and that force us try to tweak OBS to reach higher quality with lower CPU encoding speed. Still this is not a miracle, and 6000 bitrate is so limited (even if there is a trick to go beyond and reach 8000 bitrate).

    • HDR: OBS doesn't support because it's not worth it nowadays since Twitch is not supporting it, but other platforms are starting to give a hint to this technology. I think would be nice to have this option since Twitch is being used in so many Smart TV's in the present. So they could enjoy Twitch in a higher quality. Probably this option should need Twitch partnering with OBS or any other streaming program to make it possible in the best way.

    • Higher framerate/resolution: These days we're having better connections that allow us to go beyond the old limits, we could make this work since right now is really normal to see a gameplay in 120FPS and even the next gen consoles are supporting it.

    Twitch is the best stream platform, but our technical options are the same since almost 10 years ago. We should aim to higher quality so there are no quality loss between our viewership and our content.

    It's time to wake up and make some improvements :)

18. Stream vodcasts unmuted, or provide better tools for dealing with muted vodcasts

    I've been uploading old vods for the purpose of vodcasting on a channel I'm editor for for the last week, and long muted sections have been a recurring problem. It takes hours to upload and process a vod, just to find out that long sections are muted and there's nothing I can do about them at vodcast time.

    Some suggestions
    1. When vods are vodcasted, play them unmuted (since they aren't archived anyway and are essentially canned live broadcasts)
    2. Allow a way to quickly remove muted sections from a vod
    3. Provide editors the ability to fast-forward through vods being vodcast
    4. At least allow editors to see which songs are causing the mute

    Agreed that the muting experience is not ideal right now. We will look into this, but lots of things to build and improve for Twitch VODs.

20. Implement AV1 video codec and Opus audio codec

    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
