  1. Can we possibly get a category for steamers that read/narrate books? Topics like "Storytime" and "Storytelling" are both linked to obscure video games, and ASMR is linked to far too many whispering & synthesized ear licking channels.

  2. I would like the browse menu, 'sort by' drop down box to be able to filter just 'New' games. I don't like having to scroll down through all the games just to see whats new.

  4. Twitch is increasingly seeing success in large, full-time partnered streamers who seem to be growing in mainstream recognition and opportunities, but what is or can Twitch do to help dedicated small streamers get visibility to avoid a YouTube-like situation where it's only for the celebrities.

  7. Twitch has different 'boosting' features available to some streamers, such as channel point boost challenges or the new Boost Train. While great in theory for discoverability, completed boost recommendations right now seem to be sent to completely random users.

    This means that recommendations are not always seeking the audience that the streamer is hoping to reach, or is content viewers aren't looking for. For example, when checking my own Front Page for these boosted recommendations, I've mostly been recommended channels streaming in languages I do not speak, or in categories I've never engaged in as a viewer or streamer.

  8. Hallo,

    leider habe ich schon des Öfteren bemerkt, dass manche Kategorien für Spiele etc. grundlegend falsch sind.
    So ist z.B. die Schlagwort-Bezeichnung auf Twitch für eines meiner Lieblingsspiele "Space Engineers" als "EgoShooter, Shooter" eingestuft, was einfach nicht das Spiel richtig widerspiegelt.
    Das finde ich persönlich sehr schade, da es ein echt tolles Spiel ist und die Grenzen des Spiels eigentlich die eigene Vorstellungskraft ist.

    Die Suche nach einer neuen Kategorie wird negativ beeinflusst, da Worte wie Shooter einfach niemanden ansprechen, der etwas Komplexeres, Herausforderndes sucht. (Ich selbst z.B. mag gar keine Shooter und hätte das Spiel aus Prinzip nicht angeschaut,…

  9. Every year twitch celebrates diversity on the platform with AAPI heritage month, Hispanic heritage month, Black history month, woman's history month, pride month, etc.

    I as well as other Arab streamers were really looking forward to celebration of Arabs or Muslims this year because Arab American heritage month lined up almost perfectly with Ramadan this year!

    I was really hoping to be able to discover other Arab streamers on the platform in April or have at least one of Muslim's only two holidays (Ramadan or Eid) or Arab's heritage month to be recognized and celebrated on Twitch's front page.

    I…

  11. The autofill is utterly useless because it shows pretty much every iteration that anyone has ever used. This means misspellings, multiple different versions of what should be one tag, anything you start to put in brings up way too many options.
    The tag suggestions need to be a smaller set so that people end up using the same tag as each other and are actually searchable once again. The large list of tags that we had is a great place to start, especially as we can still ignore the suggestions and type our own things.
    Otherwise, these suggestions really don't…

  12. No encuentro la función de "Espectadores (ascendentes)" en la sección "ordenar por" de la página. Solo veo dos opciones disponibles en el motor de búsqueda, cuando habitualmente había cuatro, hasta ayer. Esto me obliga a desplazarme hacia la parte inferior de la página para encontrar las transmisiones en vivo que estoy buscando. En mi caso, prefiero comenzar desde la parte inferior para tener una mejor oportunidad de pasar tiempo con algun streamer y apoyarlo para que tenga más visitas, lo que contribuye a su algoritmo.

  13. In the days of communities, BrickinNick and I pushed for Twitch to create a community for BrickBuilding. After some back and forth emails, we convinced Twitch that LEGO is a creative medium/form of expression and deserves to be recognized in the Creative category. Hooray!

    Currently, tags have replaced communities. Tags created some discoverability but they are misused and often used by streamers playing unrelated games. A dedicated LEGO or BrickBuilding category would help users find more streamers building with LEGO bricks and similar construction kits.

    LEGO is too broad of a hobby to lock into the makers and crafting category.…

  14. On the following page under your Live Followed channels, there is the Recommended Channels section, which is completely devoid of the "three little dots" to indicate you aren't interested in a stream. I would just like to have the same option as under the general larger recommended category (since I rarely go there, yet frequently use the following one)

  15. Allow streamers to set their identity tags & accessibility tags (captions etc) and forget about them without them resetting after the time period.

    These can then not count towards the 5 tag limit which can be used to describe the content of the stream. Identity rarely changes, so allow them to be toggleable by the streamer. Most people who will use these tags will want to be able to show off their entire identity as well as their other content tags so this would be a great way to do that! It also allows streamers to show off their accessibility…

  17. I know that there's a limit on how many categories that you can follow. I've recently hit that limit (not sure of the exact number)

    Because of this, I am not able to follow any more categories.

    The only way to follow more categories, is to unfollow some of the ones that I'm following, however, the only ones that I know i'm following are the ones where people are 'currently streaming live'.

    I've been on Twitch for a few years, and there are games/categories that i've followed years ago, and have forgotten about. I can't unfollow categories/games that i don't…

  18. Please add an option to change the time format to 24h on the Upcoming Streams section on your Overview page.

    Having only american time format on a global site is just dumb.

  19. I would love to see "Breaking" added as it's own category. It would have dual positivity as breakers wouldn't be limited to listing their streams in the most popular categories (usually IRL or Pokemon Trading Card Game, even when most stores carry a lot more than just Pokemon now), and the card game categories would become a more targeted/enjoyable experience for viewers looking to watch live matches of their favorite TCG.

    Twitch added a category for Hot Tubs & Pools because it took over the IRL category, this is basically the same situation on a smaller scale. :)

  20. also your new video preview of showing a random channel at the top of the page is annoying taking up half the screen. yes i can click it off, but it doesnt save that setting after i log off and then back on again, so have to do it every single time.

    Admin audit: Removed unnecessary negativity and condensed title for ease of discovery.

    More Info Needed  ·  Ana responded

    Are you browsing with "Recommended for You" sorting applied? It is only with this view, that you can mark a channel as "Not Interested" on the Browse page. This is because that list view is based on recommendations, whereas sorting by viewers does not have this capability (because it is not based on recommendations). To confirm regarding the blocked users, are you are seeing channels that you have in your Blocked Users list via https://www.twitch.tv/settings/security popping up in your "Recommended for You"? Thanks.
