Remove the homepage video/stream playing.

Please add an option to not have a random video playing in the homepage when accessing twitch (the top carousel of 4-5 channels that automatically play when accessing twitch.tv). I shouldn't be forced to bookmark whatever subpage, and maybe I feel like just browsing the different games/categories. It's annoying to have random streams that I have nothing to do with and even profously dislike start playing when I access twitch.tv. It makes me not want to use twitch and it definitely makes me really not want to view / listen to the stream that's up there. There has never ever ever been one single stream of content that I actually enjoy or watch, add an individual option to not have that, please.

In the front and center of the discovery wheel, was a channel (won't name names) listening to music with profanity that was also being mass viewed against liscensing. Not to say that the world needs more policing, but at the same time, more effort should be put towards filtering of front page content. Discovery is all well and good, but it seems less than desirable to shove *** and profanity into user's faces, even if it is just audio.

This is already available in the BTTV (Better Twitch TV) browser extension.

Twitch recently came out in a video saying you can send feedback to stop recommending things. There is no selection for this autoplay carousel. I don't care about anything in it.

I dont want to hear and see autoloading random top broadcasting from my region while I am opening the twich browser page and trying to log in into account. The content is often inappropriate, rude and obscene, especially in my IP region. Its absolutely unacceptable for my family, children and friends. I do not usually visit top channel with screaming rude persons playing video games.

Nearly 4 years later and I still have to rip my headphones off my head when I go to twitch main page and there's some live stream of heavy metal promoted

When opening Twitch.tv and landing on the home page the featured stream will auto-play. Often times this has been a music/concert stream which has an extremely high volume level. Usually when opening twitch there are no other audio going to my headphones so the change in volume is extremely jarring and actually painful. Having to adjust audio levels or leaving the homepage asap isn't the best experience when opening Twitch.

I want to be able to switch off / stop / not have a seemingly random channel start to play when I access Twitch.

The foul language on many of them, is disgusting. Either you allow / show me how to stop this automatic play when I simply arrive at Twitch, or I remove my account and will not soon be a content provider.

agreed, people have been asking for it for over 4 years now

please god its so obnoxious

Can you please add a setting to not have some random stream automatically start playing the moment I come to the website? It is so annoying to be blasted with random ******** that I never asked for. I'm just trying to sign in and go look at my following page and that cannot, under any circumstances, be done without first hearing "And noobslayer26 gets him from behind with the epic headshot!". I just don't want it. I want the ability to have absolutely anything else as my welcome page. Thank you.

It's literally wasting their bandwidth and annoying their users. How is this still a thing? Auto-play needs to GTFO! Auto-muting needs to GTFO!

I log onto Twitch, and the first thing I get is a blaring rant from a user broadcasting a video I did not search for, look for, request, or even press "play" for. If this is an ad for your own video content, please allow people to search, and not get hit by your "most watched" list. I don't want to be a part of a demographic when I'm trying to create content of my own.

The problem lies in who's ads you put up as well. I'm not really willing to work hard putting together green energy program ideas and simulations online if my content gets put before a big oil industry ad put on by a rejected NRA CEO.

If I have to rush to stop a loud playing video, I'd hate to see what a newly paralyzed person has to do to get the volume turned down and the video stopped. (I'm one who likes to err on the side of being polite, and not shove a sales pitch down someone's throat attached to a most watched video stream.)

I'd like to see that my ad dollars go towards companies that have an active interest in supporting the disabled members of the public.

Thank you.

Now you get auto play on entering the twitch.tv. Now when there are music streams and you have headsets on, the music is very very load. It's very unexpected and unpleasant.

YES!!! Please give the option to disable autoplay. It super slows down loading the page when connecting or wifi is bad.

Easily fixed by installing 3rd party tools, but after Amazon bought Twitch they've become pretty hostile towards 3rd party stuff.

where is the toggle to disable the **** auto play on the home page? I do not give a **** about any of the edm you keep cramming down my ears when i go to twitch. why you auto play i do not know. waste your own bandwidth not mine.

if only they would listen..
