[Feature] Discovery Feed
We recently announced the upcoming launch of the Twitch Discovery Feed: a scrollable feed in the Twitch app that shows users a personalized mix of Clips. Before that launch happens, we’ll be running experiments with limited versions of the Discovery Feed to help test and improve our algorithms and the overall experience. These early experiments do not reflect the final design or experience of the Discovery Feed. We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to improve this experience as we build towards the bigger launch.

Just got this unfortunate update pushed to me today. I HATE the feed being the default home page when I open twitch. Give me back the following home page. I don’t care about clips and I don’t want to scroll through a feed like tik tok. I’ve previously voiced my complaints about the addition of stories and featured clips and luckily you’ve moved featured clips elsewhere or removed them but stories remain above my followed streamers causing me to unfollow anyone who was posting stories. I want my following page to remain as it has been, showing me my current live followed streamers and nothing more.
I understand streamers want more discoverability but forcing this feed in viewers faces is NOT the way to do it. If I want to look for a new streamer then I’ll go search for a new streamer playing a game I’m interested in.
If you do decide to keep this tik tok feed feature DO NOT make it the default home page when opening the app. The following page should always remain the default. Simply move the tab and leave follow tab first.

Regarding the experiment: "Starting in May, select users will see the discovery feed as the home page of the Twitch mobile app, as opposed to seeing the Feed tab."
Don't make it the default. If anything, give people the choice for those who want that to be a thing.

Just getting started with the Clips feed and it was a bit complicated at the beginning, because 1) I just got partnered channels, which feels unnatural. 2) And I kept in a loop of just three (3) creators, no way to get new clips from other creators. 3) finally I must swipe twice or click twice on like to actually swipe/like.

Is there a way to make it so that the "discovery feed" is not the default when I open the mobile app? I don't want to see some random clip immediately when I'm more interested in seeing who is live.

Vertical/portrait clips in the Discovery Feed are displayed with very poor resolution quality, they are blurry

Please only promote featured clips in the Discovery Feed. There are so many 1 view clips getting promoted there that it makes it useless.
Also, vertical clips created with the clip editor are cropped in the Discovery Feed. The top edge of the vertical clips are cropped off and the bottom half of vertical clips are faded

For the scrollable clips. When clicking on the profile. Instead of going to the clip tab. Could it go to the home page instead? I believe it will help the streamer connect to the twitch community

Agree with JZimz on being able to use highlights and their reasoning behind it. I'd like to add that whole streamers could do clipping themselves, it's not good content for a streamer to have to be clipping content while live to ensure the clip is quality. Allowing highlights to be included would Alleviate this difficulty. The vertical editing should also be added for highlights as well to empower streamers.

When a clip gets featured the original clipper should get a notification!

JZimz commented
Can you also make it available for highlights? Viewers don’t always clip the best moments so I use stream markers to create highlights and would love to see them included!

Making clips searchable and discoverable:
- Search by author
- Search by clipper
- Search by date (before) (after)
- Allow clippers and streamers to add hashtags/search tags/keywordsThese changes would help so much and improve discoverability. There's old clips and countless content from all the years back that end up never seeing the light of day. The only way is sharing these are sadly using other platforms.
Another thing is to DELETE accidental clips when the clipper never specifies a title or closes the window before confirming. For every stream, there's hundreds of unnamed clips made by users who never intended it to be a clip but just wanted to rewind a few seconds. This removes spam and allows users to actually find desired content easier.

Concerned with the capping at 20 featured clips leading to a bunch of problems. Is this something that is just for beta testing?

I haven’t got access to any of the trials on my account, but you’ve pretty much done exactly what I suggested to do. I feel you need it to be the reels, TikTok, shorts way of swiping between clips with the like and follow option which will help creators get more viewers
