Have Content Warning Pop-Ups On Stream For The Game Category Selected It would be great if there could be a pop-up appear for viewers when opening a stream that shows them the details of any content warnings for the stream's selected game category.
There are an increasing number of games that contain content and/or trigger warnings for players at the start of the game, which is great. However, they are generally only displayed at the beginning of the game and not shown again after. If a viewer is exploring Twitch and opens a stream after the initial content warning has been displayed in the game they don't get to see it.…

Search based on streamer schedules Why not enable the ability to search for streamers based on their listed, scheduled times? Allow the user to input the days/times they tend to watch streams and then recommend them streamers that best match that scheduling. If they don't select it, you could automate it based on viewing data.
This improves discoverability for streamers and also benefits viewers by making it easier to find people they can reliably watch.

make art its own category / change “music” to creative. there are so many streamers who do art. the fact that the biggest streaming platform refuses to acknowledge art as a popular streaming topic is discouraging to potential users.

Make a more fair formula for being found. Currently the top views are in the top of the list for followed channels. In categories it is the same way. With disabilities we often can't stream the hours or consistently stream like those that do. So finding a better way to be discovered will help those with accessibility needs. We have a voice but sometimes we are not found due to current set up.
It will also make it safer for other streamers that are not disabled. As many people give out bad advice to just constantly stream such as to not work or sleep. That streaming to be…

Prioritizing certain followed channels Add the ability to assign a priority to some of your followed channels to make them show up before channels with higher number of viewers.
This could be achieved either by added those channels to a strict priority list (like auto-hosting feature has) or simply assigning a channel as "preferred" with a flag.
A number of channels I prefer have a lot lower viewer numbers than the bigger channels I follow and better being able to see that they are live will improve the experience immensely.66 votes -
Merge Flight Simulation Categories Currently there are 6+ categories covering Flight Simulation.
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Lockheed Martin Prepar3d
Xplane 11
Infinite Flight
Flight Simulator
Flight Simulation.All these categories cover the same games and should be merged into one category (Flight Simulation) rather than have them fractured.

Add "Belarusian" as language option in stream settings It would be great to have Belarusian language (would be written as "Беларуская") as one of the available options in "Stream Information".
No translation of the platform is not asked for, only the language to filter streams by.
Thanks in advance!

Artist friendly Please give Creative / Art its own section. Your creative streamers deserve more than to be buried under IRL.

Random channel spotlight at the top of browse When browsing channels by game, make the top 3 or 5 channels listed random channels to help promote people who get less viewers.
As it is now, people searching by game will notice more popular streamers right away and may never look beyond them. By adding a random spotlight at the top, it may drive more people to smaller channels instead of big channels pulling in even more viewers.
Maybe change the spotlighted channels every 30 or 60 minutes, and add a special background behind them to stand out.

Unmerge Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels Twitch on January 12th merged the categories for Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 2.
These are completely separate games with completely separate gameplay, streamers, and audiences. The merging seems to be done by mistake as they both share similarities in their naming variants, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels often called Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) as it was the original sequel released in Japan only.
On IGDB, both Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 2 have separate categories, so this seems to have been done via manual intervention on Twitch…

Add tags for age ratings In my experience, few viewers actually remember whether they got the Mature Content warning when they first joined a channel.
In addition to the existing Family Friendly tag, a tag to mark channels with an age rating and allowed behaviours would be highly useful as a constantly present reminder and a quick way to double check what topics might be appropriate.
Example tags: Adult Topics, Swearing Allowed, 16+Ideally there would be a way to set a default tag to apply, but also a way to change the tag for events like co-streams where one might have a different rating…

Use clips as a discoverability feature Basically add an option to get clips based on your game interests as a neverending feed, similar to the TikTok For You page or Instagram Explore tab.

Add photography/editing categories Please add a category outside of Art/Just Chatting for photographers and editors. There is a rapidly growing number of editors and photographers who have very helpful content, tutorials, and ideas that don't directly fit into "Art" or "Just Chatting".

Advanced Search Implement a new search system with predefined and/or user defined tags like #lol #csgo #kappa #girlgamer #familyfriendly #twitch etc. It would be nice for a channel to have a handful of tags to identify itself.

Combine the Neverwinter Nights categories These categories are all part of the same games.
Neverwinter Nights:
* Neverwinter Nights
* Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
* Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark
* Neverwinter Nights: Kingmaker
* Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of UndrentideThere is also Neverwinter Nights 2:
* Neverwinter Nights 2
* Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
* Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
* Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of WestgateCombining these categories would mean it would be much easier for viewers to find streams of the game they are looking for. The extra categories are just dlcs or an enhanced edition…

A new category Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition Tomb Raider: 10th anniversary edition is a never released game by the original Tomb Raider developers Core Design. This game recently was made playable by the fans and is regularly updated.
It would be great to have it as a special category since more and more people stream it. Right now we have to use "Tomb Raider Anniversary" category which is not relevant to this game as "Anniversary" is a different game by Crystal Dynamics.
Some proof how popular and important Anniversary Edition is for the gaming community:

Option to add thumbnails Adding thumbnails to streams would be a great way for many viewers to come across streams that might be of interest to them!
