  1. With the new tag system, streamers can have up to 10 tags and can write custom tags, while the old system only allowed for 5 tags picked from a list. This a huge improvement, however this change also brought a lot of downgrades that overall makes the system less useful for streamers and viewers.

    With the old system, a new streamer or viewer can type keywords and Twitch shows suggestions from the list of preset tags. For streamers, this helps them discover what they could do to make their stream stand out and know what viewers may search for. For…

  2. In the old days we had a Ludum Dare category for both game development and playing of games made during our event. Per request we moved our development streams to Science & Technology, Art, and Music where appropriate. Today there are hundreds of game jams, hackathons, with MANY THOUSANDS of new games are created every month (3000-5000 whenever we run an event, which is twice a year). Since none of the mentioned categories make sense for PLAYING jam games, I propose the addition of a "Jam Games" category as a catch-all.

  3. Broadcast types are listed on the browse page. game streams are listed by game type. but some games have 0 broadcast count at that time. I don't want categories with zero broadcast count to appear. I want to set this in filtering section.

  5. In the community guidelines, it's pointed out that streaming under the wrong category is against the rules of the platform as quoted here:
    "You are expected to accurately label your content to the best of your ability." (...) "Deliberate or extensive misuse of titles, tags, games/categories, or other metadata are prohibited."
    Since sleeping has become a part of the content people are making, a new problem has become apparent. Years ago when the community asked Twitch, which category you could stream sleeping under, the community was told, that you should remove your streaming category when you're asleep on stream.

  6. This new layout is worse in every possible way for desktop users. When I'm on the Browsing page, I'm looking for a stream to watch. I don't need the first stream on the list shrinking the visibility of that list (because the layout is clearly intended for portrait format, not landscape) OR autoplaying and causing potential lag. I ALSO hate that you can no longer see tags without clicking. I only know English. It was hard enough searching through various asian-speaking-only streams to find the English speaking ones when the language tags were changed/ruined. Now I can't see those tags…

  7. I find it confusing when I’m trying to search through my followed offline channels for a particular streamer; they seem to be in what feels like a jumbled order every time I browse through that section. I would love a feature where it sorts the offline users in alphabetical order. Some additional alternative sortings could be user-created rankings, most view time, or date followed. I’m sure there are some other good sorts too, but these are just some suggestions with alphabetical being my preference. Thank you for any help!

  8. I really enjoy watching older PC games, sadly you don't see many people playing them on twitch. I suspect this is because by playing older games, you make it hard for your stream to be found. Because of this, streamers without established audiences get virtually no new viewers... so its just not worth it.

    Nobody streams these games because they don't get viewers > Nobody watches them because nobody can find them > Nobody can find them because the game their playing is followed by hardly anyone

    Right now, tags like 'adventure game' are way to broad because it returns…

  10. I see a lot of 18+ only streamers not putting anything showing it’s an 18+ stream. So when a teenager watches them for a while and then says their age they get banned. Which can really hurt teenagers feelings especially if they enjoyed someone’s content.

  11. i so think it would be a nice change for twitch to have a special tab like ''recomended smaller comunities'' and ''people recomended for you'' but one for people celebrating their Streamer-versary to get that extra push since even getting shown at ''recomended smaller communities'' takes quite a decently sized community

  12. I'm the content coordinator for Onyx Path Publishing. We have several streams on our channel that focus on our Tabletop Roleplaying games listed above, as well as partner games such as Realms of Pugmire, Legendlore, and Cavaliers of Mars, and licensed games including Exalted, Chronicles of Darkness, and World of Darkness.

    Other channels stream these games as well, but it is difficult to find them under the catch-all Tabletop RPG tag. I would like to either have individual categories for our lines, or tags for those lines added to the directory.

  13. Today, it isn't easy for generative artists to chose category between: Art / Software and Game Development / Science and Technology : none really match for what we do.

    It would be great to have a dedicated space for these artists to be able to stream under one same category.

    another possible naming would be "Creative Coding".

  14. Please add the "Not Interested" button directly to the user profile page. Ideally this button would be where the 'report' button is.

    This button already exists on the home page when you click the 3 dots if you don't want to see a streamer on the home page.

  15. Twitch used to save "High-Low" once I set it up once in any category, it'd use that for all games. Now, when I open a category, it keeps forcing "Recommended for you", which is SUPER annoying. And it seems to keep going to that even after I switch and come back to that game.

    I have not reset my browser history or anything. I get they want to add visibility to smaller streamers, but it's annoying that the setting is being overwritten it seems.

  16. Create a PokeMMO category, as Pokémon MMO 3D is another game. This will put the popular PokeMMO streamers in the corresponding category.

  17. It is time to unify NFT games within the same category.

    In this way, the streamer would be given the opportunity to play and analyze different NFT games in the same streaming, not having to be in the category of a single game.

    Also the category closest to this, "Crypto", does not specifically represent this type of content.

  18. I would like to have all games that are considered a port on IGDB to be included in the category list. The reason for this is that streamers cannot select the game that is more well-known to them due to geographical releases. For instance, considering that I am from North America, "Tetris Attack" is a game that I know about and not "Panel de Pon." Same thing with "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse" where the original game is "Akumajou Densetsu." I also believe this shouldn't harm visibility as non-Japanese regions most likely have not heard of their Japanese game counterparts.

  19. for the love of god! PLEASE BRING BACK THE FORTNITE ZERO BUILDS CATEGORY! i heard it was first added back in possibly early march. but then it recently got taken out/away. why did twitch remove the zero builds category when it would have 2-3k watchers on average every day? it just doesnt make any sort of sense! a lot of people that strictly play zero builds would stream under said category, or would complain to those in the normal fortnite category asking the streamer why they are playing zero builds in the normal fortnite category. i recently got back into…

  20. browsing filters should allow options to browse from less view channels to higher view channels. Scrolling multiple pages to reach the bottom of the viewership is time consuming & less advantage for new content creators.
