Old Preset Tags - PLEASE bring them back The removal of the previously pre-set list of tags to choose from was definitely not the way to go.
Having custom tags is great for a number of reasons such as having a niche/indie stream, but removing the preceding list and the ability to easily choose pre-determined tags only makes things unnecessarily inconvenient for people who were perfectly fine with the tags that were available before.
Now it adds just that much more time to setting up a stream by having to write every tag in its entirety. It also affects streamers who do things like speedruns because now they…

remove not fitting tags / warning message It's really annoying when I try to add tags that obviously would fit to the game but twitch has predetermined ones for each game.
Even if you try to add an "open world" tag to a pretty obvious open world game twitch doesn't accept it. Instead the "Done" button transforms into a greyed out "Updating..." button and the window doesn't close.
Why can I even add these tags if twitch refuses to use the anyway?
Either the tags should be in the list at all depending on what game you choose or at least a warning message should pop up…

Allow tagging in titles. Make it so you can “tag” things like other people. So you can do “Playing with @mmattbtw” and the part that says “@mmattbtw” is a hyperlink that goes to said channel.

Tags for channel/community The ability to set tags for a channel, or community, which are permanent until manually changed, and separate from the tags for a stream. With the new influx of tags for identity or community description, it's difficult for people to describe both their community, and their content. Additionally, the community tags would be something that would be the same for EVERY stream for most people, and would give viewers an idea of what a channel is about, even when they are offline, thereby helping people find communities that they can relate to and make it easier on streamers who want…

API Support for Custom Tags Currently, there is no way to use the Helix API to inspect the custom tags of a given stream. Previously, with the preset tag list, the Get-Streams endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-streams) would include an array of tag_ids, which could then be inspected to filter streams automatically. This is still included in responses, and still contains the language tag, but doesn't include any information on custom tags.
This is an issue because bots which previously relied upon the pre-set tag list to filter streams can no longer use tag information at all, because they cannot see custom tags in any way.

Implement tag search and popularity when selecting custom tags Trying to decide which variation on a tag to use can be guesswork in the current system. When entering a tag, the function should show similar tags in use and indicate in some way which tags are popularly used and/or searched, such as number of live streams with the tag. Platforms such as Twitter have a similar feature when entering a hashtag.

Add old tags to search and option to use wildcards It would be great if the search tags option had the "old" tags that have been updated for the new system still there and searchable via autocomplete. As it stands, there are no searchable tags by autocomplete (i.e. you have to input any tags manually to search for them). Also, the ability to use wildcards or the ability for the search to be inclusive of letters after what you've searched for would be great. As an odd example, if you searched for the "app" tag, the "apple" tag would also pop up.

Saved tags A feature that lets u save tag clusters. For example, i play 3 different games and stream and i have to manually write all the tags that are relevant but if i change game then i have to do the whole process all over again but if i could save those specific tags as 'Tags save #1' or 'tags for so-and-so game', it would lessen time in preparing monumentally.

Issues Filtering by Language I think something changed semi-recently, so that when you try to filter by language, it shows you literally exactly 100 options, but none of them are right, and often have different results. For example, when I try to filter channels in English in a Browse, the top 8 options are "ënglish" "englísh" "englis h" "ENGLISH" "engLish" "ENGlish" "englisH" What is the utility of this? How am I supposed to determine the correct one when there are 100 options? None of them just say "English"

Return language tags to old system so that we can filter by language. Before you could search for one tag + one language. Now if you are trying to discover streams through a certain tag (such as the vtuber tag) it's impossible to search for a language + that tag, I imagine since they are all considered "custom" tags now. Widely used languages have a generally accepted names. You could even make a new "type" of tag for languages, and keep the old custom ones so everyone wins.

A identity, sexuality system could help fix the issue that I need 5 tags just for sexuality or I miss someone searching a different spelling The LGBTQ community uses a number of short forms that all mean the same thing like LGBTQ LGBTQ+ LGBTQIA and so on the system reads each of these searches as different tags.
The new tag system is great but I have to use 5 tags one for bisexual and 4 for spelling variation on LGBTQ or I miss anyone who's searching a different spelling.
My solution on your profile allow you to set these commonly used types of tags. Gender, Sexuality, Pronouns, Ethnicity.
These are tags I see alot that get reused every stream and take up slots that could…

I would like to see the category of games that are no longer in service be reinstated. Overwatch 2 has started and the old Overwatch tags have disappeared from Twitch, so I can't search for past Overwatch clips in the clip manager.

Whitelist transsexual as a tag The tag would allow people to find trans people who have medically transitioned (or are in the process of doing so) and share a similar experience in their journeys.
The current "transgender" tag alone doesn't meet this need due to the broadness of the term. Additionally, there are other identities that could fit under "transgender", such as genderqueer and genderfluid, but they have their own tags. There are also other medical-specific tags, such as intersex, blind, Tourette syndrome, paraplegic, and so on.
Transsexual is a medically accurate term that refers to transgender people who have undergone (or are undergoing) medical…

sexism and racism why is "white" and "straight" not allowed as a stream tag? i feel that there is no issue with these terms and this is twitch actively being discriminatory towards people with these attributes. why also is "i hate men" allowed and "i hate women" not? this is backwards logic when you parade "inclusivity" for all who are not white, straight and male, what did they do to you? can we have a platform that is unbiased when it comes to politics and be inclusive for all and not just everyone who is progressive?

Bring back the recommended tags for certain games. When tags were first introduced you were recommended tags that you could just throw on for a game like for example you would be playing Pokemon and "First Playthrough, Blind Playthrough, 100%, and more" would show up instantly because those made the most sense for the game. Now it doesn't do that and i have to type in the tags manually.
