I like twitch streamers with low view count, because that means I am able to interact and get to know the person on a more personal level. That's just not possible when they have as many viewers as a featured streamer does. I've never wanted to watch any of the streamers shown, because all they play is PUBG, CSGO, Fortnite or some newly released game.

I agree!

I agree. Please make it so that we can turn of auto play for the featured broadcast. Also we need a feature to turn of auto play on peoples channels.

This is so annoying. Gives me a jumpscare every time I open the website. Instead why not just show it as featured without it actually playing the stream automatically. Or at least just have it playing with muted sound. I just started using twitch and after some times this happened had to find if there was a way to turn that annoying feature off.

Only just started using twitch and first thing I'm trying to do is find out how to turn it off. What a fucked up platform

PLEASE make this true!! I hate having a random video playing when I open Twitch.

Another vote to allow users to turn this feature off. Should not be that hard to do.

Please add a setting to shut this off... It is so annoying. We should have the choice to turn it off completely.

I stopped coming to the site because of it

Please, remove them or put an option to not shown or at least to not autoplay them or mute them.
It's annoying as an user not to have control on what you can or can't see in a page.

I hate the autoplay featured broadcaster so much.

I like Twitch, but it's obnoxious when websites jam advertisements for content I have zero interest in down my throat.

Better Twitch TV extension to your browser can block the autoplay feature, remove recommendations etc.
I don't know what Twitch is thinking with these "improvements"... Watching less and less on that platform lately because of it...

There's an almost zero percent chance that I care about whatever random stream you play. It's annoying to have to manually turn off something i didn't ask to see every time I load the page.

I'm going to add even more. The featured broadcast has never once made me go, Ohhhhh I want to watch that! Please get rid of that. It's just annoying to go to twitch and have someone screaming while I'm looking for who I want to watch on my follows.

Can you atleast stop auto play?! I REALY HATE THAT FEATURE. I'm avoiding that page cuz of it! FFS twitch stop being dumbass!

For the love of god, please make this happen. I HATE the Featured Broadcast. I've tried using ad blockers to remove the specific element and everything. It's the absolute worst. At least make it so it doesn't auto-play.

I agree with everyone. Or at least play something related to the channels we follow. Having two girls sings sad songs isn't my cup if tea.

I don't give a crap about overwatch. I don't want to click twice to close that anoying autoplay stream (the second click is to close the minimised version). They know very well nobody likes that feature, but blizzard cunts are paying them the big bucks to keep it there $$$

Can I add to this chorus - please remove this very annoying and in your face "Featured Broadcast" asap - Thank you.

Please remove the AutoPlay Featured Broadcasters. I will not come back to this website until I hear it has been removed.
