Multiple audio streams in a single video are supported by OBS and popular video formats, but Twitch strips alternate audio streams from video it receives and offers no way to select alternate audio streams while watching a stream.

This feature came about in order to allow videos to have audio in multiple languages, which is something any streamer is unlikely to do, but the availability of multiple audio streams can allow streamers to make alternate audio streams for other purposes. For example:

1. Those with poor hearing may benefit from a voice-only stream so that game audio, background music, and sound effects aren't obscuring the streamer's voice.

2. A voice-only audio channel may help Twitch create more accurate captions with speech-to-text software that may be confused by background noise.

3. Viewers with good hearing may benefit too simply by being able to mute a streamer's bad taste in music and obnoxious sense of what sort of sound effects are fun to have in a stream.

4. It's not impossible that a professional streamer with the right kind of show might want to hire a translator to open their stream to an audience that speaks a different language.

Hello. We used to have many different servers in the region that for some reason got deprecated one day with no announcement or reason as to why it happened. And now we only got servers available in Brasil and many of us can't stream to them because of bad routing (Chile or Peru work a lot better, for example) so if at least a new server could be added for Chile in the region it would allow many of us to have a stable connection and finally stream normally as we should be able to. Please, we really need some of these servers back.

Just a few moments ago, I switched streams and the playback window was an inch too big: There was a field of empty black space between the chat scroll and the player where there wasn't one before. Since I hadn't updated my browser or changed it or anything like that, and further hearing other users complain about it, I decided that Twitch must have rolled out some new feature that wasn't playing nice with me. Heading over to the support ticket page, and after scrolling through the numerous options of permitted support ticket topics I couldn't find anything even close to being about 'Hey your player broke', outside of specific App types I'm not using. It's not an extension either, since neither streamer used extensions.

Why are you not accepting bug reports about what must be the primary way users view content on Twitch? This seems like a tremendous oversight. If the thing is broken, let me tell you and ask for help!

During a live stream, could a viewer please choose any of the video statistics under Settings > Advanced > Video Stats, and have only that statistic pinned somewhere on the screen? In my mind it would show up like a running FPS counter in a video game, without having to keep the entire blocky chunk of Video Stats cutting off a huge section of the stream's video (and sometimes the streamer's webcam). For example I find myself constantly checking the "Latency to broadcaster" statistic whenever I watch any stream. I always want to know the delay between what I see instantly in chat and when the streamer will have a reaction to the chat message.

In my experience, many viewers are not aware of the Latency to Broadcaster statistic being available, and often find themselves accruing a huge delay and getting behind on things happening without knowing it. Any number of things can cause these micro delays to accumulate: issues with viewer's internet connection, or the streamer's, or with Twitch's servers too. When I see a delay more than 5 seconds, I want to fix that.

Many people think refreshing the page is the only way to reset the Latency to try and make it smaller, but a quick pause/play of the video or a quick toggle on and off of the Low Latency mode also does the trick. Having the latency to broadcaster pinned somewhere over the video would help me know when I need to do these tricks to reset the latency and have a more interactive experience.

Thanks for your time!

Best,

As high frame rate monitors become the norm in the gaming space, it seems reasonable to assume that viewers would be excited to watch their favorite creators at smoother frame rates that reflect the intensity of actual footage. In addition, the release of more powerful, yet affordable, hardware has made this accessible to more creators as well. Higher resolution is already a standard to video streaming in pre-recorded formats (capped at lower frame rates), while the norm for most of gamers remains 1080p. This is a debatable topic but the priority in many popular titles is that smoother, high FPS experience in lieu of high resolution. Having that option to both game and consume live content at higher than 60 FPS would be a huge feather in the cap to not only the platform, but the individual creators bold enough to push the envelope in their content.

The biggest limitation it seems would be bandwidth, but again, this is becoming less of an issue as high speed internet spreads across the world, and twitch already has baked in means to correct this with its quality settings.

OBS Studio already supports the capture of high frame rate and/or high resolution content as do many of the hardware manufacturers producing capture devices. The tools are there. We just have to pick them up and make it happen.

Hello

Arround 450 video
And the VIDEO PRODUCER have to be rework totaly

In my case :
- ITs lagy (the engin have to charge the 450 video before i can work in the section
(So why i was impact when i want work or edit my new 2020 video by the past 2015 video ... charging, lagging, and wasting my time because the page was unusable at this tile
- Unusable time charging all video ...
- when you want organise its too slow, and unusable because you have to drag and drop ... and the memory cant follow your content faster / Same when you want edit a collectiow with many video !

Bref

This page is totaly unusable, unworking correctly, and not web 2020 app services acceptable

if you cant optimise your engine or your code, please rework and design a new way to use the last video content ...

Its a Design and App architecture trouble
Certainly a code and programming trouble
Certainly a Architecture technologie trouble
Please check the Google youtube infrastructure you are at light years away from them and the new Web APP

The video player will buffer causing a long "Latency To Broadcaster" when the streamer has intermittent connectivity issues. For desktop streamers this is usually not a problem. This is a nuisance for viewers watching IRL streamers who are streaming on less reliable mobile connections. Who wants to watch a stream where the "Latency To Broadcaster" is over 30s? or even 10s?

I have to open the "Video Stats" menu with every stream I watch to keep an eye on the "Latency To Broadcaster" to make sure I'm not too far behind the live stream. Nothing wrong with my internet connection. Problem is on the streamer side because they are on mobile. Twitch has made the viewing experience worse by making the "Video Stats" box even bigger that's not even transparent with the latest site updates. I understand some viewers will always have high latency issues due to poor internet service. But for viewers that want to say close to the live stream we should have that option.

1. Give viewers a live button similar to youtube to skip closer to the live stream... not sure why twitch hasn't copied this basic feature yet

2. Allow viewers to customize contents of the "Video Stats" box... so viewers can just display "Latency To Broadcaster"

3. Have an option in the video player where viewers can set the maximum "Latency To Broadcaster"... if the latency falls over 10s the player will automatically skip to the live stream... Ideally I never like to be over 5s from the live stream for streamers that have enabled "Low Latency"
