  1. Sometimes i wake up in the morning and start up twitch and there is a dj on with high energy music. It is something i do not want to hear, maybe make it compititlbe with the time in your country. It does not match the energy

  2. Many League of Legends streamers currently hide their minimap (or other sensitive UI elements) by covering it with a black box or overlay on their streaming software. This protects their strategy during the live broadcast, but it permanently damages the VOD/archive — viewers who watch later can never see the full minimap information.I propose a Twitch-side solution:Allow streamers to enable a special “Map/UI Hide Overlay” in their Creator Dashboard (or stream settings). The streamer can position and size a rectangular overlay area (or multiple areas).

    During the live stream, this overlay is applied client-side on the viewer’s end (similar to…

  4. Performance settings on the mobile app do not save when navigating between multiple streams. Example, when I'm watching a stream, the performance of the video freezes whenever it is set to Auto. Whenever I join a stream initially it is set to Auto to circumvent. This I have to switch to 1080P close the stream and then reopen it. Then it will no longer be frozen. But if I go to a different stream and then come back to that same stream that I switched from Auto it will default back to Auto. There is no option within the user…

  5. I tried notifying twitch support but they don't read and just give automated responses.

    My "idea" is for you to fix this very obvious bug that appeared a few days ago and significantly impacts both you and the end users..

    Problem: When autoplay is disabled, it causes an infinite loop in twitch player which creates very high CPU usage and runaway memory usage that grows constantly until the tab crashes or video fails. It also causes incredibly poor performance on the site..

    It's very easy to reproduce. My tests have been on multiple machines with multiple versions of Firefox with…

  6. I cannot watch the stream of lizok_ssk from Ukraine.

    Other streams work normally, but this specific channel is unavailable for me.

    Please check if this is a regional restriction or playback issue.

  7. Have option to view video in any quality with any fps. If this is wishful thinking atleast give us option to not watch 1080/720p in 60 fps. My wifi can't handle it. But it can handle 30 fps. Would be cool to have 480p and below to have 60 fps and 30fps options also.

  8. Currently, audio levels vary wildly between creators. I often find myself watching a streamer whose output is much quieter than others, forcing me to crank my system or speaker volume to 100%. When I switch to a different stream or an ad plays, the audio is deafeningly loud, requiring constant manual adjustment.

    The Proposed Feature:

    Client-Side Gain/Boost: Allow the Twitch web player and app volume sliders to go past 100% (up to 200%) for individual viewers.

    Persistent "Cached" Volume: The player should "remember" the specific volume level set for that creator. If I set Streamer A to 150% and Streamer…

  11. Every time you switch to another stream, it selects the highest quality that isn’t higher than what you were watching last time. One moment you’re watching 1440p60 9 Mbps HEVC, completely stably with low latency. Next you hop into a 720p30 stream. Fine, the source is what it is. Then you open a 1080p60 stream. You get 480p30 because 1080p60 and 720p60 are both more than 720p30. Completely uncalled for when your actual selection was 1440p60.

    Auto quality is no solution. Its bandwidth estimation keeps having downward spikes. It may say 135 Mbps which is still an underestimate but plenty.…

  12. Streams crash when chrome is not in focus.

    I have 2 streams on my 2nd monitor while I work, and the streams randomly start buffering with the spinning wheel.
    I have to click back into the tab to get the stream to resume.
    This is super annoying, not sure if this is a chrome update, or a bad twitch update.

  13. Currently, Twitch can ingest 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, or 60 fps streams. I would like to have 20 and 40 FPS added as well.

    Many retro games run at 20 fps, however, the only available multiple for these games is 60 fps, tripling the necessary frame count and wasting bitrate.

    40 fps is becoming an increasingly common FPS target in modern console games, as variable refresh and 120hz displays are becoming more widespread. Presently, there is no way to stream at this framerate without stuttering, forcing players to lower their ingame settings to target 30 fps, or upload low…

  14. When watching on 1440p monitor (100% display scale on windows) the video player size is 1980x1114 when not in fullscreen. This makes the image more blurry as most content is 1080p and it upscales it to this odd resolution. It would be better if the player was exactly 1920x1080 as no scaling would be needed. Now you have to manually resize the browser window to do it.

  15. Hi Twitch,

    Recently, we observed a 40%+ power consumption regression when users visit Twitch page (e.g., sample page: https://www.twitch.tv/twitch/clip/CrispyJollyGullHassaanChop-nPlLKGxGRcBj37e4) with Chrome / Edge v143 or newer on Windows. This regression creates a noticeably worse battery life experience for Twitch users.

    Although Twitch’s source code is obfuscated, preventing a full inspection, our experiments show that disabling all invisible CSS animations can remove the regression. Through Chrome DevTools, we identified a likely source in a file similar to: 1882-89946-7e817d31.js (file name may vary). The relevant code snippet is shown below. Removing the infinite attribute from the animation definition prevents the regression…

  16. 最近日本のtwitch配信者の間で配信中の映像が時々止まることについて配信内でたびたび言及されるのを目にします。同時接続数が増えると映像が止まることが増えるらしく、個人的な体感でもそれを感じます。その度にyoutubeliveやニコニコ等の代替サイトの話になりますが、まだ本格的な移行は行われていないようです。twitchはいつこれを改善しますか?

  17. Many people face this common HVAC problem: the air conditioner keeps running, but the room never feels cool. This usually happens because of dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels, blocked airflow, or lack of regular maintenance. Ignoring these signs can lead to higher energy bills and bigger system failures.

    Quick HVAC Guide:
    Start by checking and replacing your air filter regularly. Make sure vents are not blocked and the thermostat is set correctly. If the problem continues, it’s important to get help from trained HVAC professionals who can properly diagnose and fix the issue before it gets worse.

  18. This is an old bug where the clip's start and end points are shifted relative to what is selected in the editor. The client sends correct offset/duration data but on the server side the fractional part is discarded.

    Steps to reproduce:
    - Open the clip editor.
    - Move the start point to the very beginning of the timeline and then shift it slightly forward by less than one second.
    - Extend the clip to one minute and slightly move the end point, for example, to a clip duration of 59.9 seconds.

    Result:
    - The resulting clip has a duration of…

  20. It is encouraging to see new features being explored but limiting access to the proprietary OBS connection is unfortunate.

    Ideally, the ability to send multiple streams would not be gated behind the proprietary OBS connection so that advanced users could configure their stream pipeline to take full advantage of the latest features.

    This would be particularly helpful for stream broadcast suites or users that run their own rtmp relay.

    For example, a user might leverage SRT to a cloud server that transmuxes the streams to rtmp to get around local or mobile network inconsistency.

    If they could manually configure streams…
