Show calendar of upcoming streams for followed channels
With the schedule feature allowing streamers to set their upcoming schedule, it would be great if that schedule could be used to show an agenda or calendar view of upcoming streams for channels a person follows. A tab could be added to the current "Following" page for "Upcoming" streams that would show the when the next scheduled streams are.
Hi again,
As you may have noticed, the Upcoming Streams feature is available to all. As mentioned before, find it in the Overview tab of your Following page. Please feel free to continue sharing your feedback regarding this with us. Thanks!

this would be great, instead of having to click through each one individually

There is a Schedule option when you open an individual's Twitch so you can see when they will stream for that week or day.
However, the useful thing would be to have a general
Schedule button or page where you can see the schedule for all of the streamers that you're following for that week or day.
Overlapping wouldn't be a problem if it shows the name and picture of that streamer.
It would be super useful to keep track instead of remembering or going to their individual channels too check when the stream starts for that day or week. -

A schedule/agenda page on twitch for all streamers you follow would be great to see when a streamer is going live that week/day or something.
Just like the schedule every streamer has on their page but in one overview for all the streamers.

For viewers to have a calender which shows upcoming streamers that they follow. Viewers can add or remove the streams they want to follow in their own calender. Basically one calender tab which shows all the upcoming streams from the channels they follow.

I think it would be neat if viewers could have a page that compiles all the schedules of the streamers they follow. That way a viewer can, at a quick glance, determine which streams they want to plan their days/nights around and then also view possible conflicts.
I would find this highly helpful since the schedules for channels in different time zones adjust to my time zone and I watch streamers from multiple different time zones across the world. SO having all the planned streams all in one place would be brilliant.

Hey, that´s definetly what we are working on with https://shikenso.com/?tab=3&calendar=0
As you´ve allready mentioned it requires the streamer to upload their schedule for the community to follow their calendars. As we´ve launched recently we are trying to make the streaming world aware of out rool and its benefits for the community.
Feedback and ideas appreciated!

Add in programming integration on twitch to that you can have a look at a calendar and go through a menu and add in streamers to the calendar and it instantly pipes in their streaming times. It'll need streamers to put in their schedule on their profile, but that makes it more community friendly. Being able to personalise a schedule of streamers to watch on a more regular basis than just through 'events' would be handy.
Currently I'm using, and sharing, a google calendar, but having something native to Twitch that adjusts for timezones makes it much more accessible.

How it would work is streamers would optionally let Twitch know their streaming schedule; what days and time they'd stream. Then users on their end would look at the streamers and pick those that they are already following and add them to a personalized "TV guide" according to the streamers schedule. Say streamer 1 is on 10-4 then you would find a streamer that streams or close to streams around 4-whenever, etc. This could be done per day, also you could set it where you don't have to watch the entire stream. Say at 3 hours in you want to switch to another channel, the user would set it up where the "show" of one channels ends at 3 and twitch would switch over to another channel that's starting or midway through the stream. The user would then go to their "TV guide" and just watch. Twitch could automatically switch channels when their "segment" is over, per your TV guide. This makes it so that Twitch becomes more like TV and allows for straight binge watching of users preferred channels.

Having a feed in the follower section of updates from those that you follow so you don't have to go to their individual pages to see what is going on. Easier to keep up with who is going to be on soon, on late, cancelled, or whatever updates they have.
