Add parameter to set max quality video in auto mode My idea is the possibility to select en "HIGHEST quality preference when auto quality mode is active" in order to reduce the number of times it tries to get to a higher quality but my connexion CAN'T follow the flux OR to reduce my flux when my stream raid another one.
The goal is to:
1) reduce the risk of buffering
2) automatically reduce bandwith consumption (it can't get higher than 480p for example) when i don't need more and i'm too far to reduce it [ecological measure]Most of the time i look games which don't need HIGH quality…

Aspect ratio settings update and support As much as every other platform not just Twitch the lack of information for those who stream at other aspect ratios rather than 16:9 is lacking to non-existing.
It would be nice to have more support for those content creators who do not follow the standard.
The best example would be in my case is when streaming at 1080p my stream width is 2560 and not 1920.
This effect the stream in ways that sometimes it shows and sometimes it's just a black screen (Reported by viewers)Better support for other aspect ratios rather than 16:9

Implement a Live Button Like Youtube 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.…

Player becomes unresponsive While watching a stream if I leave a stream up for an extended amount of time I will sometimes come back to the video player ui having been frozen and unresponsive. I will hover over and click the player buttons without a response, additionally the hotkeys for the different player actions will also not work, spacebar for pausing and m for mute. I couldn't find anyone elses account on this issue.
Sidenote - This is for live broadcasts in particular

Fix error 2000 regarding Anti-tracking software blocking Error 2000 in my experience has been due to the Anti-tracking software I use. This makes the stream crash and quit playing. You need to refresh to get the stream going again. Usually this will cause an ad to play as soon as it is refreshed but not always in my experience. Anti-tracking software does not prevent other streaming websites to run smoothly for me, only Twitch. On my latest Twitch watching stint, my Anti-tracking software shows 13 advertising trackers blocked, 3 site analytics trackers blocked, and 0 essential trackers blocked. My Anti-tracking software states that essential trackers are critical…

16:10 aspect ratio view mode please Similarly to what YouTube does, I'd like to see an option to watch a 16:10 content without the black bars. Either auto-switch or manually.
There are a lot of us who have such monitors and having to play windowed or at full-screen mode at lower resolution only to avoid the side black bars on Twitch, is not comfortable.
Cheers!11 votes -
Restore NA ingest servers Ever since the last week of September, I've been unable to stream on Twitch due to the removal of the Dallas and Atlanta ingest servers. There are no ingest servers with a stable connection for me to connect to. Yet, I'm not the only one having this issue. To limit all of North America to only 3 ingest servers is incredibly harmful to streamers in both the southwest and southeast US and Canada.
I opened a ticket with Twitch Support inquiring why this was done, and was told "The best way to ensure your voice is heard is by submitting…

Twtich Server Upgrade, Pay Money for more Bitrate / Upload ??? Twtich server upgrade so also more bitrate upload and users pay a small pocket money for this :)
You know it from server hosters "You want more upload or more storage, then rent at Twitch-Turbo the server package" For +5,90$ or 9,90$ you can upload and stream up to 13K/ 15K.
So Twitch would have less problems with the costs and who does not want to pay such a server upgrade remains with Free and 6-8K upload depending on Twitch contract.Possible would be this Year, because it's time for an Upgrade at Twitch :)

Servers for India We just need one Indian server , we all are streaming from Singaporean servers and its really frustating to get lags just because of it.
I really hope you're working on it.

Lack of Twitch prime and servers Here in India, we don't have twitch prime and also we don't have any twitch server even though India is one the largest marketing countries. Lack of services in india forces them to move to YouTube for live streaming. Nearest server from india in Hong Kong and you need a really really good internet to just stream. Streaming on twitch is almost impossible for Indians.
Closest server to mumbai is in France, marsielle, which has bandwidth of 3500 kbps and ping is 130ms, quality is 60.
Please do something help Indian streamers out there.

101% speed / buffer catch up After a brief "spike" in the connectivity that causes buffering (often at twitch end) there is no way to "recover" the buffer.
Reducing delays between streamer and viewer is obviously a good thing that Twitch has worked to minimise, however, being suddenly thrown tens of seconds behind "real time" because of a spike offers no means of recovery - one can refresh the page and lose those 30 seconds of content, however, it would be nice if there was an option to "speed up" playback by 1-5% so that the delay is eroded until we catch back up with minimum…10 votes -
Allow the deactivation of auto play when first loading the site or accessing a channel. It's extremely annoying to have videos and streams that haven't been specifically selected to just start playing when accessing the site home page or visiting a channel.
Add an EASY TO LOCATE toggle so these auto play options are PERMANENTY disabled.I come here to watch what I CHOOSE to watch, and NOT what ever garbage you want to pollute my eyes and ears with.

Behebung der anhaltenden Probleme mit Vodafone Deutschland Hallo,
Ich wurde hierher verwiesen vom Twitch Support...
Es geht darum, dass es eine Vielzahl von Vodafone DE Kunden gibt, die mit Twitch extreme Probleme haben: Schwankende Bitrate, kaum Bitrate... Ich bin ebenso betroffen. Ich hab 40 Mbit/s im Upload und kann original nicht streamen weil die Bitrate extrem schwankt. Da es früher mit VPNs gut funktioniert hat und immer noch mit "restream.io" teilweise funktioniert, ist offenbar die Peering-Schnittstelle mit Vodafone DE (AS3209) überlastet. Dadurch kommt auch, dass Streams immer wieder buffern müssen.Ich wäre Ihnen sehr verbunden, wenn Sie endlich was gegen die Probleme mit Vodafone DE machen würden.…

Make Twitch More Mobile-Friendly with Low-Data Modes （Twitchモバイルアプリに軽量通信モードを追加してほしい） Twitch is a fantastic platform for enjoying long streams of gaming and creative work.
However, the current “audio-only mode” tends to use more data compared to other platforms.
This creates difficulties for viewers, especially those using mobile networks or with data caps.In Japan, there is a strong culture of “background viewing,” where people listen to streams while doing chores, studying, or working.
At the same time, many users lack access to home Wi-Fi or have limited monthly mobile data plans, making it particularly challenging for students and younger viewers to watch Twitch streams.Given these circumstances, I kindly ask…
