  1. Preview Stream, Before Joining

    Allow the user's stream to be viewed, before joining. This feature was available before, seemed to be removed awhile back. Please bring the view stream back.

  2. see moar collections

    Currently, users can only see the last 4 updated 'collection' videos. This was not the case many months ago.

    Being able to scroll further down and see all the collections a broadcaster has produced (like myself) in the form of a playlist is a awesome.

  3. Play only OW streams that are in-game.

    High-rank Overwatch streamers usually get ~20 mins of queueing right now and that is often filled with another game or a youtube game.

    I suggest a way to only view streams that are in-game, and to automatically go to the next streamer if the current stream doesn't have any gameplay. Or to have some small badge saying "In-Game" show up on the thumbnail.


    The easiest way of implementing this is using some lightweight ML Video Classification. I assume you are probably using a GPU to do remux, and you can utilize those GPUs for classification inferencing. You probably won't even need to classify each frame, probably once every 10 seconds.

  4. Re-enable seeing who other channels follow.

    This is less about browsing and searching, more about site design.
    As pointed out in multiple Reddit threads ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/d9vwmr/intheredesignisthereawaytoseewhoa/ , https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/da1psp/followingoptionremovedthisisbadfor_channel/ ),
    there is no longer a way to see what channels other users follow. One side says this is to prevent stalking. The other side says this stifles moderation in some ways.

    ...Is there any way to re-enable seeing what channels other users follow, not just you yourself?

  5. Hover over stream with cursor to show a mini playback of what is happening instead of a thumbnail

    I think having the ability to watch a short playback of the stream you hover would be an efficient way to help people watch content that they want to see instead of going through stream and guessing on what is going on in the live stream at the current moment, (getting baited from a thumbnail picture.) It might help people with low viewer count get more attention because people don't need to waste time to click on the live stream. It might be a good idea to test out a beta version to see if the idea is successful before permanently implementing the hover feature for the future.
