1. "Looking for a raid target?" panel when you open Twitch while streaming

   I'd like to be able to open Twitch while streaming and get recommendations for who to raid based on viewers and categories we have in common. On the Creator Dashboard I can see what my viewers watch but it's difficult to quickly check who is live that would be a good raid target. It could also filter out people who have raids disabled. Would be nice to find some new people I have never seen but have a lot in common with - both viewers, games we play, tags and maybe even community size.

2. Spoiler Thumbnail

   It would be nice to disable the preview thumbnail for a recently released title. Often when a new game comes out many streamers that I follow play it. For some games (particularly story driven titles) the preview thumbnails might contain spoilers.

   So what if you had the option in your setting to disable the preview thumbnail for a period of time around a games release? For example any time before the official release and for 2 weeks after. It could be replaced with just about anything really, the streamers profile pic, the game's logo, a black screen, etc...

3. Viewer Referral / Recommendation System with Rewards

   Currently, Word of Mouth is a big factor for channels being discovered by new viewers. You've found a great new channel that you think your friends will enjoy so you want to tell them about it. Currently, all you do is share the channel link with your friends and you've directly helped that channel grow... but there's no direct reward for helping that channel.

   What if there was a 'referral' system available where you could share a link, with a particular referral code, with your friends and if they choose to follow the channel you receive a bonus amount of Channel Points?

   There are a range of other potential incentives - if a Viewer shares a particular channel link and 'x' amount of other viewers spend 'x' amount of time in the channel then the referring Viewer might receive some Bits?

   The purpose is simply to increase channel discovery for the channels we find valuable. They might not have the most amount of viewers but their content may be just what someone is looking for and unable to currently find it.

4. Suggestion to grow small channels

   My suggestion is for the small channels and for those who are starting with Twitch. It is very difficult to start your community and that's why Twitch could implement a system in which viewers would be rewarded for watching channels that are with few viewers like 1 to 5 or 5 to 10...
   These rewards could be an exclusive random emotes or 'Twitch Prime' of short duration (a few hours or days) in which viewers could choose their streamer to give a prime subscription or be able to exchange for bits to send your message.
   Other types of rewards can be evaluated as for example an exclusive global badge like with Twitch Prime. Another option would be the same reward redemption system occurs in Prime, however with unique items for viewers that support small streams.

   To avoid bots for farming bits, the viewer needs to confirm its mobile number via SMS to avoid farming bots.

5. 18+ Toggle

   I believe 18+ belongs on Twitch; I have no problem with it being there. But, as a smaller streamer, to find me, you have to navigate tons of 18+ content.

   There needs to be an explicit tab or easy setting to turn off an on that content (and "off" by default if you're not logged in). 18+ doesn't need to be hidden or harder to get to, but I do feel like it needs its own section. Right now, the art section shows up as "Baking Christmas cookies" "making a sculpture" and "how many **** can fit in this ****" and literally a dude edging to questionable (underage girl) anime.

7. Language Flags

   Add little flags for the country of the the language the channel is in. Too many times have I entered a channel that looks entertaining and come to find out it's in a language that I don't understand. This would help a lot! :-)

8. Toggle to turn off Drop Ins (knocking for streamtogether)

   Todays Knock/Dropin feature for StreamTogether would benefit from an OFF toggle.

   While you can permanently avoid all Knocks by having zero favourites and turning off all checkboxes for Follows, Partners, Affiliates this is not very clear and changes these settings.

   An OFF toggle would clearly convey the setting for any streamer who is not interested in streaming with others for multiple streams. Currently streamers dont have a control to turn off Knocks for multiple streams without remembering to do that, which is additional mental load; or deleting their settings.

   It would allow streamers to keep their settings for Favourites and Follows/Affiliate/Partners instead of having to redo these.

   Also it would help with communication as in multiple places today I saw rumours going around that this new feature cannot be turned off.

10. Bringing lectures to twitch

    Hello Guys,
    I am new on this developer board, however recently I had a small Idea that I would like to pitch to twitch and would be happy to assist in the implementation of such, as I do have the necessary contacts to do so.

    I noticed that this platform has been branching out and trying to reach more people with their contents (see creative).
    I think it would be a good idea to implement lectures on different subjects as stream aswell. Here we could cooperate with different universitys (which mostly record their lectures) and their professors to get lectures on different subjects which can be watched by everyone around the globe who is interested in those subjects or just wants to learn something new.

    I do study a mix of Economics and Programming at the time, however from time to time I would enjoy listening to some Philosophy lectures or even art lectures. (And I know that a lot of other people would aswell - OR even listen to their lecture from home... a total dream!)

    The good part would be, that it would take almost no effort from the site of the university and even gain popularity for them. This means that cooperations can easily be made.

    I would be eager to help on this subject aswell, as I have very good connections to several universites around the world and in different countries (such as Mozambique, Maputo). And have even given lectures myself.

    What are your opinions on this topic?

    (I mostly post this here, as I don't know where else to reach out to twitter to pitch such an idea - if you have suggestions reguarding this aswell I would be very happy to hear them)

11. Game Setup Tutorial videos for Streamers

    Essentially, a lot of streamers playing games during Variety periods, and this applies a lot to old games, tend to improperly setup the respective games (due to their age or certain things that have to be worked out). Not only that, a lot of streamers don't approach older games correctly, resulting in frustrations, chat backseating and overall an incomplete experience.

    For example, Max Payne 3 is a very fickle game:
    - It features controls that aren't explained to the player directly (G to roll, Ctrl to sprint, 1 2 3 4 for gun controls, H to switch shoulder),
    - The proper way to play the game isn't explained (aiming down the sights 24/7 is not the way to go, hipfiring while being mobile instead has a higher survivability rate due to better FOV aswell as the fact that it's not really inaccurate at all),
    - Details like the fact that you have to EXPLORE to find things, instead of going directly into the next checkpoint missing funny optional scenes.
    Thus... any big streamer that just boots up the game and goes along to figure it out will not have a complete, enjoyable experience.

    My solution? Each game category should have a setup tutorial video, manually selected (NOT BY A BOT.). Essentially, these videos will be a guide for streamers to get the game setup and explain fundamentals of gameplay aswell as details that are important for a perfect experience. They should be SPOILER-FREE, shouldn't hold the streamers hand and obviously... short enough to be digested.

    Obviously the issue with this would be introducing videos from the outside (non-twitch staff), but I believe it's worth it. I, for one, am available at all times and if this feature gets voted and accepted, I'd accept any contact from Twitch to set this up, I'll even make a video for Max Payne 3 as the first example. I'm not a good editor but I can make a concise video that explains that game, and it should be a good enough example for other tutorial videos.

    I think everyone's encountered this issue with bigger streamers especially, where useful chat info is never read and therefore useful information is never gathered and suddenly, they hit a roadblock that could have been fixed by reading the chat. Obviously, big streamers can't read chat, but this idea should completely resolve that.
    Even moreso, maybe include something that advertises this feature, like when a streamer selects a category to stream, a pop-up or atleast notification should appear about wanting to watch the tutorial or not.

13. Guild

    Since only Partners can run a Stream team, and since "communities" can't be shown on the stream page easily anymore. It'd be really good to have something like "Guild" or "Guild Play" or "Guilded Gaming" something along those lines to be able to denote a stream featuring Players from the same guild doing things. This would also allow guilds to showcase their gameplay and let people look at streams in a game that are featuring such gameplay to find guilds that they would mesh with personality wise!

16. 18+ clarifications

    It would be helpful if there was a place to see if a streamer was labeled as 18+.
    as it is right now, if I acknowledge that I'm entering 1 18+ stream, I never have to acknowledge it again with out the tag.
    It would just be helpful to know what kind of community I'm joining or watching. and it would help creators moderate their streams as well.

    or maybe, the 18+ tag can automatically populate for every one that has their streams marked as 18 up?

17. multistream viewer

    For those who like to watch & Chat within multiple streams (often via team up situations or watching fave streamers online at the same time) instead of forcing people use sites like multistream/multitwitch, where the embedded streams get interrupted by a notice telling people to watch the stream on the original site, why not build a page where viewers can do just that, watch several of their favorite channels (2-4 or more) side by side where every view will be counted, channel points will be earned, ability to chat in any is accessible, and best of all, no interruption (with the exception of the normal ads)

18. Discoverability

    I have an idea for increasing Discoverability on the platform. Twitch already tracks what channels users already watch which then is used to recommend viewers to new "similar" channels that they might enjoy, but from my experience very few people actually take the initiative to go into their channel and watch. I think that for this approach to work you need to brute force people into trying out new streams by having a sort of "reward" system where you get rewarded in either bits or subs to the creator by watching for longer periods of time. This will make more people inclined to try out a new streamers channel and will forcefully expose them to their content for a period of time which is the most important part of being discovered. Once someone has watched someone's stream for lets say an hour, that is often enough to either hook the person in and make them a loyal stream viewer or to steer them away from the stream.
    I am aware that this might be abused where people would set up some sort of bot or something that just accepts the "rewards" and just watches the streams for the allotted time and disappears, but if you make the rewards in such a way that they can't be abused (for example 1 quest per month) this should not be a problem.
    I'm just throwing my idea to a solution out there. All discussions start with an Idea so this is more of a conversation starter for people to come with improved and more refined ideas.
