"Coworking and Study" Category
Last year, you all implemented a "coworking" tag for WFH, study, and remote working streams.
All of us in the coworking community really appreciated the tag! It helped users and viewers find streamers to study alongside, especially in a time when everyone was working from home. Even now, a year and a half out from the tag introduction, many users are still working from home, looking for coworking streams to pass the time and find company in.
Unfortunately, the addition of custom tags—while innovative and helpful for many streamers generally—has presented a problem for the coworking community. It's no longer easy for coworking streamers to use their designated tag to aid discoverability.
There are, after all, SO MANY iterations of "coworking" that could be used: "coworking," "co working," "study," "WFH," "costudy," "working," "studying," working...." and the list goes on.
This lack of clarity has effectively nullified the benefits that the designated "coworking" tag gave us back in early 2021, muddying the waters and hampering discoverability for coworking streamers.
ALL THAT SAID, now that custom tags have been introduced and the discoverability environment has changed for us, it would be incredible to get a designated "Coworking and Studying" category for coworking streamers to live in. Not only would it help viewers find us, it would also help us discover other new coworking streamers much easier—especially when not many know how to use the tag system efficiently.
Thanks so much for considering!

Agreed. I'm part of the language community, and I feel Duolingo should be classified as a game and Language Study should be a tag. There are other language learning programs used besides Duolingo, and in addition many people use books/audio or video recordings/flashcards and other non-game/non-computer-program study tools/methods.

I feel that Twitch needs a category for Studying, as i've joined a few study streams where viewers study with the streamer etc. I recommend adding it as a category since at the moment, most of them use Just Chatting, even if they aren't actually chatting in the study portions. It would also make it a lot easier to find such streams.

Please add MARTIAL ARTS as a new category – it falls under fitness and health, but it's not really that.
We study and teach Japanese sword online.

Hi! My streamings are about this and I haven't found a category that fits with what I do. So I came to suggest exactly what you are talking about.
I hope someday Twitch reads your suggestion and thank you for mading it :D

There are people on Twitch who stream language study. Usually, they use either Just Chatting or Duolingo category. Why is this not as good as it could be:
— Just Chatting. People interested in watching language study streams can’t reach the streamers because the category is too big and there are no convenient filters for that (namely selecting two or more stream languages). Due to this, people eventually tend to stop streaming language study — they can’t reach their potential audience.
— Duolingo. Firstly, most people aren’t even aware this category exists. Secondly, there are a lot of other services people use that don’t have their own categories. For now, it’s a cool place for people to find each other.What I suggest: 1) expand the current Duolingo category into Language Study. This will attract more people; 2) add an ability to select two or more stream languages so this way people can show what languages they speak. This will help viewers filtering streams so they can find only those they are interested in.

With more people staying at home learning, and even for myself as I start school in August, I thought it would be kind of nice to have a category like "study buddies" where you could watch people study.
I think it would be great for streamers who want to talk out their subjects to an audience/see if their ideas make sense, or help them remember things.
This also gives the viewers ways to possibly improve their studying techniques and in turn learn more about the subject.
Or, if the person likes a quiet environment a viewer could be there just for support. I think it would be great if a viewer(s) and a streamer team up to keep each other accountable/help them focus.
