yes that is such a great idea!!!

Yes! Adding "Coworking and Study" as a category drastically improves the discoverability of study / coworking streamers! Especially with the Twitch tags system restricted to only one tag (which should not be the case), adding this category helps viewers find their niche more effectively!

The creation of the Coworking & Study category would help so many people that on a daily basis use Twitch to focus, relax and create!

thank you for this amazing ideal

this would be lovely, as coworking is mostly what I use twitch for daily! 👩‍💻✨️

I agree with and vote for this idea.

The co-working / study community on Twitch is vibrant and growing, so it really deserves its own category! 💜

With the new tag system, we definitely need a definite space to find these streams!! The Coworking & Study category has to be created ASAP

Yes, this. Coworking is quickly building a dynamic, fast-growing community of students, at-home workers, and people who are trying to improve themselves and encourage one another while doing it. I've really enjoyed my coworking streams, and anything that would help let others know about coworking more easily would be much appreciated!

yes!! with the amount of ppl that actually do co-working/study streams it is actually better

I’ve done 3 co-working streams in the last 2 weeks and plan to do at least one a month going forward - this would be an awesome category to stream to!

yes please!! With the rising popularity of people using twitch for their accountability to improve focus and productivity in their lives, a dedicated category would benefit so many, not only existing creators and chatters, but also those new to the space wanting to work along our beloved streamers or to even start streaming for themselves, so that it can become more mainstream and normalised to do this for better mental wellbeing!

I believe this also goes well together with this earlier call for a Study category from 2020:
https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/40878697-implement-a-study-category

and this call for a Writing category:
https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/39848845-designated-category-for-creative-writing-and-relat

A Co-working and Study community would cover a combination of both these writing and studying categories and more.
The previous Coworking tag, that as earlier mentioned is now scattered through many different custom tags, was and is used by very diverse group of streamers: Writers, people working from home, students and programmers to name a few.

It's about time! Best community on Twitch <3

I think this is something so many co-working streamers and viewers would highly benefit from!

The original unified tagging system was absolutely great when implemented, however since the new tagging method was born, variations of options made it difficult to locate people with streams of the same goal, especially for those whose first language is not English.

- "Just Chatting" has be come a "catch all" category which makes it difficult for people to locate any specific sub-groups. To break this up and offer better services to viewers, Twitch has created many "IRL" categories to section off these subgroups, including but not limited to "Software and Game Development", "Science & Technology", "Food & Drink", "Music", "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches", "Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos", "Makers & Crafting", "Politics", "Fitness & Health", "Sports", and "Talk Shows & Podcasts". This logic can be applied to creating a "Coworking and Study" category.

- Users cannot follow tags, however they can follow specific categories. This encourages users to be able to join a specific collection of viewers whose average unique viewer count exceeds 5K per day (based on an EST 24 hour period). A category presents the opportunity to congregate those viewers into one space and propel itself forward.

- Without the need of a tag, a category reduces the chances of unrelated streams flooding the search results. Variety streamers often change categories and apply tags to coincide with that show, however the coworking tag can often be found applied to game affiliated categories. Coworking and studying are not auto tags like IRL or a language tag, so it will not be automatically removed if a category doesn't seem to apply, therefore it creates an extra step for the streamer and more confusion for the viewer to have it removed or added properly.

Overall the benefits truly prove the necessity for this change, especially given the new climate of the world due to the changes COVID enforced. More and more people have taken on life digitally with their studies and their jobs. This category will allow access to those spaces once left to a small group of people. Twitch should consider evolving in supporting those changes as digital nomadic life and online study become more prevalent in today's society.

Well;
- I believe categories are intended to be more broad than specific to something when dealing with things at scale or major. That way they work best with tags as they compliment and fill the gaps in categories.

- Although it would be convenient to have "Coworking and Study" category;
I believe tags are enough and makes more sense, as they can be matched with any category available.

eg. Just chatting, Software and Game Development

Summary, anything too specific or that can be applied to many areas, should be considered a tag. (There might be overlap but it's not the rule)

Yes!! this is much needed and these streams really help people be productive <3

YES, this is much needed!

Study Streamers and Viewers definitely deserve their own Corner! <3
