1. 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.

2. dim player when paused, please fix!

   Player becomes dim when pausing. Please give toggle or solution to this problem so that we can have the option to view stream with proper lighting when paused. As it currently stands, this problem has frustrated and an inconvenience to people who need to pause the video to look at a certain detail, I'm sure this fix would significantly improve user experience as it would give a convenience to those who need to see the stream when paused, thank you!

3. 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 !

                                                     By Joyingaming

4. 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.

5. 4 channel audio

   This is music stream focused
   So RTMP can comfortably handle 4 channels of audio @256. Allow creators to send 4 channels with the content on 1&2 and VO on 3&4. Have 2x mute buttons and use an automix to dip 1&2 while creator is talking. Obviously creators would have to opt in but it would increase their passive listeners and help your platform

6. 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.

7. High Frame Rate Streaming to Viewers

   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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

11. Expired Security Certificate embedded in streams

    Viewing live streams prompts an AntiVirus Warning that an embedded Security Certificate is currently expired. Warning reads: "attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to global.poe.live-video.net. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk."

12. Change content provider for Hungary

    As I got informed by my ISP you changed provider locally for content distribution some weeks ago. Since that all the streams are laggy, buffering, stopping etc.. Using VPN would solve the issue but that shouldn't be a must have to watch streams.

13. Limit the default quality to 720p and 30 fps. 1080p and 60 fps is excessive and wastes bandwidth.

    A stream does not require 60FPS playback. Ever. It's a complete waste of bandwidth and should not even be an option. For people like me that have slower internet it makes it impossible to watch a lot of streamers. Many streamers don't even realize that they're streaming at 60 FPS and how it literally DOUBLES the bandwidth requirements but does not give any benefit to the quality of the stream. I wish Twitch would make the default 720p 30 FPS and allow some users to increase to 1080p 30FPS once they reach partner or something. Not only would this decrease the bandwidth Twitch requires for their servers (saving you a BUTTLOAD OF MONEY and allow you to offer transcoding to more users) it would generally make the experience better for all people with slower internet worlwide! I really hope someone considers this seriously because the savings are there and it wouldn't take much to make this happen and it's a win win for everyone!

14. 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

19. refresh or reset video

    A way to reset or reset the video when it freezes without refreshing the whole page and losing the chat. This is especially important to moderators who might have to keep an eye on the chat but also need to refresh a frozen twitch video. Frankerfacez had a feature but it is lost with the new highwind player.

20. 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.
