I see underage children are on the rise with live streaming on Twitch. I will feel it is safe for the parents to see their children socializing with peers their own age. Is there a way Twitch can separate children from the young adults 18 years of age? Maybe it can be called TwitchKids. It will have the same features as Twitch with young adults that are 18 and up. Twitch will need written permission from their parents or a legal guardian. They also need to monitor their chat. The population on Twitch will be hard to monitor curious underage children to live stream. What is the thought of this subject?

A system that you can opt into that will direct opted in users (at random) to a random partner/affiliate channel who has opted into receiving. Similar to a host; it pulls in any users that want to use this feature to find new content creators. Like a user account signed up for this would be told they are "traveling " to a new channel. A creator signed up for this would receive a messaged like "Get ready!" because the users "traveling" are coming.

• (50-1000) a cap to split the signed up base into multiple groups to be sent to multiple creators channels. This will also make sure it would not be overwhelming.

• (1-5) occurrences per day based on preferences.

• Opt in/out for Creators and users.

• A count down with an option to skip the travel (stay) or go directly to the page w/o waiting)

• Maybe stipulations for Creators and users. Like (Must have x amount of mods to opt into this program) for creators. Maybe (must have a password protected account/held the account for x amount of time before you are eligible to opt in) for users. Precautions of that nature.

PS:

Idk, this just came to my mind and I wanted to share. I love Twitch and want it to flourish so hard forever. Something automated like this could just boost discoverability, or not. Who knows? Someone much smarter than me probably already came up with something like this. Haha.

Take care!

Twitch Reels

It isn't a secret that discoverability on twitch is not the best. Every social media that exist has already jumped on this trend and integrated reels onto their platform.

Imagine a world where Twitch is not just a streaming site but the center of all gaming content. Adding a reels feature would take Twitch to a whole new level. It would be amazing for creators and consumers. It would single handedly fix the the clear discoverability problem Twitch is dealing with today.

Although Twitch would have to put in time to create a working algorithm that doesn't just favor large creators with a big following or that would just further develop the discoverability issue. Kind of like TikTok, that allows all content to be seen and pushed out.

So lately, one of the top streamed content(from what I've seen) is streamers reacting to YouTube videos. What if you could do business with YouTube to have it when Streamers watch these videos, the viewer count from the stream is contributed towards that 1 view from the streamer. Also maybe you could imbed some way to have an Ad play on the side that one would've seen if they clicked on the video themselves.

Then again, idk all of the legal stuff and such that would have to take place. Also it's probably way more complex to have done than I had imagined in my head haha.

Being new to twitch is very daunting, there is so much invisible content that you would never discover unless you knew it was there. Why don't you have a twitch channel that new users can join and the channel goes on a raid journey whereby those in the channel can be exposed to content they would otherwise not have seen, and on the way those who like the channels they visit on the journey can drop a follow or even subscribe or even jump onto the channel they find and like. Like a guided tour bus that you can get off when you see something you like. Having twitch raid your channel would be a real confidence booster for any streamer and it promotes the platform as well.

social growth and social media growth we all know and can tell from twitch platform this is not a platform that favors in equal platform viewership and its based of who ever has the highest viewers to the lowest this is understandable but does not add ( flavor ) to the so called app, twitch needs to incorporate the options of all social media links to be available immediately to twitch's as a share option too all platforms ,

i would like to express i am not "promoting"( TikTok in anyway but as far as i have seen the way their apps algorithm works is it shows you feed based on what you have watch previously wether a person a category or a topic the function works and a immediately not sat after viewer ship content just gets feeded to you and everyone gets more of a fair chance) twitch has this with the suggestions option but i think when you click into the game categories instead of higher to lowest viewership it should show live feed as well as content post on twitch like creators content clips and also live channels with hashtag links and switch it up with most time streamed or rand surge from different streamers promoting more options to people with camera and non camera who been pushing more content streaming more or what people like comdey completive trolling etc

Creo que sería una buena idea premiar con alguna recompensa extra dentro del panel de control del canal si un streamer utilizar su enlace de Twitch para que usuarios de otras redes sociales accedan, como por ejemplo Twitter, Instagram, etc..

Es probable que algunas personas no hayan accedido a la plataforma nunca, y con ello se genere nuevos usuarios que se afilien a Twitch y comiencen a visitarlo con más frecuencia y vea mayor contenido.

Con ello no me refiero a una recompensa económica, si no logros como los que tenemos ya disponibles, y en este caso sería algo como: 100 personas han accedido al canal mediante tu enlace de Twitch ---> Nuevo emoticono extra.

Es probable que algún usuario lo haya indicado anteriormente, pero en mi búsqueda no he podido encontrarlo.

Gracias por leer el comentario!

Due to many games getting significant expansions, I think there should be a way to sort between DLCs/Expansions of a game.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a great example here. This game has three seperate expansions (one of which is coming out next week). For some reason though, when selecting a game to stream there are only two options; The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Due to Twitch's name rules, the other expansion The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ did not get a twitch game name. The final, biggest and most impactful expansion, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance, probably won't get one either, despite Afterbirth for some reason getting one when it is also an expansion.

Shouldn't only the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth be a game option? Why Afterbirth? If it is based on expansion size, should Repentance be a game stream option since it is by far the biggest expansion changes basically everything about Rebirth? This may seem mild but it can be very confusing for viewers when watching a game. They buy one product yet their favourite streamer is playing something much more grander than they purchased, due to Twitch stopping at Afterbirth and not including Repentance.

What I am proposing is a simple way that when selecting a game there is a selection box or something of the sort to indicate what Expansion if any is being played. It would make game selection for streamers and game searching easier for viewers, allowing them to get exactly what they want. It can also help with visibility leading to more purchases, supporting the developers themselves.

I guess this could complicate some things, but if all the expansions are still sorted into the category of the original game, it could keep the interface clean and easy to use.

This is of course a suggestion and a kind of messy one, but I think it could work out in the long run.
