1. Extension bits - adjustable Streamer-Developer Share

   Why is the share always 80% streamer and 20% developer? Would be way better if the developers could decide their extension percentage.

   If I sell an cosmetic item in my game ( on my website) for 5$ I get like 4.8$
   If I want to sell the same item on twitch I would need to sell it for 24$ to get 4.8$

   So as developer I have these options:

   • Don't use Bits -> Streamer receives 0$
   • Link to our website -> Streamer receives 0$
   • Make prices way to expensive -> nobody buys -> Streamer receives 0$

   So if you make bits adjustable for every extension it would give us a lot more possibilities. Could be a slider from 10-90% or something like that so that is guaranteed that the streamer gets at least something.

   This new system could also lead to more people creating extensions for twitch because of the better (changeable) share

2. Include channel name in the onAuthorized response

   It would be nice if the response included the channel name and user's name so we don't have to call the API to convert the IDs to usernames :)

3. Allow 2 Overlay Extensions: Game Specific Overlay + General Overlay

   Console AND mobile gamers have INCREDIBLY few options for overlays.

   But we appreciate the 1-2 teams out there trying to make things work completely source agnostic... for example... Overlay Expert.

   However there are games with Game Specific Overlays (BL3 which also supports console, Lost Ark, Card games with mobile OS versions...) that we cannot use at the Same Time.

   Even if we just want to put in some nice alerts for thanks for following and etc.

   EXAMPLE: Play Destiny 2 on Console/PC/Cloud with cross-save-etc? How about the D2 armory extension + an overlay extension for your followers?

   Can't do it right now.

   I'd gladly give up 1 of the my normal extension slots to do 2 overlay extensions. Let people pick?

4. Extend Send Extension Chat message to support languages

   Extension Developers can provide their extension in whatever langauge they want.

   But Send Extension chat doesn't support translations.

   Please extend https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#send-extension-chat-message to support translations

   So instead of

   {
     "text": "Hello",
     "extension_id": "uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2",
     "extension_version": "0.0.9"
   }
   

   as the payload

   support

   {
     "texts": {
   "en": "words and stuff",
   "de": "the german transation",
   "fr": "the french translation"
      },
     "extension_id": "uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2",
     "extension_version": "0.0.9"
   }
   

   And then the Twitch frontend will select whatever language the user is using and default to broadcaster language if a matching language not found.

   or support a "default"

   {
     "texts": {
   "default": "words and stuff",
   "en": "words and stuff",
   "de": "the german transation",
   "fr": "the french translation"
      },
     "extension_id": "uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2",
     "extension_version": "0.0.9"
   }
   

   Naturally use/support the language codes that language uses in the query string parameters from https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference#client-query-parameters

5. Whitelist Google Maps api?

   Whitelist the google maps URL (https://maps.googleapis.com) for extension iframe, since Google Analytics is already whitelisted.

   It is currently not possible to add google maps to an extension due to the security policy of the iframe blocking requests.

   This could be interesting for a number of different extensions, including games as google maps includes features that other providers do not have (e.g. Streetview)

7. CSP Fields Confusing

   I feel the new CSP fields in the console can be improved.

   Right now it states:

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load images (e.g. <img> HTML elements and favicons). These values will be used by the HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) img-src directive

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load additional media (i.e. <audio>, <video>, and <track> HTML elements). These values will be used by the HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) media-src directive.

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load information via scripting interfaces (e.g. API calls, fetch(), XMLHttpRequest, WebSockets). These values will be used by the HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) connect-src directive.

   A correctly constructed CSP for a given policy entry doesn't contain commas.

   I feel it would be more practical to accept a "standard" CSP into these fields.

   So you would specify in the fields a "valid" CSP for connct/img/media source. as per MDN - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy

   Rather than a CSV that is beint intrepreted either by automation or the reviewer.

   It would make sense all around that I enter, for image domains for example:

   https://www.google-analytics.com/ https://images.igdb.com/ https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ https://pbs.twimg.com/

   instead of

   https://www.google-analytics.com/,https://images.igdb.com/,https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/,https://pbs.twimg.com/

   The latter is not a valid CSP, but the former is.

   This makes it easier for developers to correctly specify a https and a wss for socket based operations. And means what is entered into the field is a direct match to what you would test with if you have as test server that provides the files and the CSP headers when in localtest.

   Libraries such as helmet both accept a "valid" CSP or an array of entries. So in code:

   app.use(twitchextensioncsp({
       clientID: 'ca2np9xlw9bx7vlppwn8ekwz9ws0io',
       enableMobile: true,
       imgSrc: [
           'https://www.google-analytics.com/ https://images.igdb.com/ https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ https://pbs.twimg.com/ https://twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/'
       ],
   

   is valid as is

   app.use(twitchextensioncsp({
       clientID: 'ca2np9xlw9bx7vlppwn8ekwz9ws0io',
       enableMobile: true,
       imgSrc: [
           'https://www.google-analytics.com/',
           'https://images.igdb.com/',
           'https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/',
           'https://pbs.twimg.com/',
           'https://twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/'
       ],
   

   The string version is easier to copy and paste from my test server to the entry field in the console. And the string version (without commas is a Valid CSP)

   This means less complications by Twitch requiring a Comma Seperated List.

   TLDR:

       imgSrc: [
           'https://www.google-analytics.com/ https://images.igdb.com/ https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ https://pbs.twimg.com/ https://twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/'
       ],
   

   the above is valid CSP the below (if I direct copied from the console into code) is not.

       imgSrc: [
           'https://www.google-analytics.com/,https://images.igdb.com/,https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/,https://pbs.twimg.com/,https://twitch.extensions.barrycarlyon.co.uk/'
       ],
   

   So I propose change the CSP fields to accept valid CSP not a CSV.

   Or it should be laid out like the oAuth redirect URI's (multiple text fields one URL per field add/remove buttons etc)

   I feel the new CSP fields in the console can be improved.

   Right now it states:

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load images (e.g. <img> HTML elements and favicons). These values will be used by the HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) img-src directive

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load additional media (i.e. <audio>, <video>, and <track> HTML elements). These values will be used by the HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) media-src directive.

   Comma-separated list of base URLs from which your Extension can load information via scripting interfaces (e.g. API calls, fetch(), XMLHttpRequest, WebSockets). These… more

9. Accurate documentation

   All of your tutorials, links, and/or instructions are dated and unhelpful.

   Try having someone follow any of this step-by-step, from scratch, and see if they can get something working, because I, nor my partners can make any usable sense of what is presented about extensions and creating/testing them.

12. Update docs for granting permissions to extension

    This granting permissions page is not helpful whatsoever. I need to be able to get access to the user's twitch ID which I can in the dev rig, but the documents don't explain how it is possible to prompt the user to grant permissions in the extension itself. More detail around this would be extremely helpful so I don't have to continue digging through the forums

13. Twitch side extension asset obfuscation

    I know there are other methods like a google form to submit un-obfuscated code. What I would like is that an optional flag to be included with a version that any uploaded asset would minify/obfuscate the js files on twitches back end before putting it on their cdn. At this point I wouldn’t care about getting mapping files back, just a middle ground where when its pushed for hosted-testing or production it will have minified the code but the raw code is available for checking in the approval process.

14. UseChannelPoints Endpoint

    Add a 'UseChannelPoints' endpoint similar to the 'UseBits' endpoint that allows us to let the user dynamically consume channel points on the go without having to create rewards. This would allow us to be much more flexible with channel points and create experiences that make full use of the points. We can define the amount of channel points being consumed similar to the product definition for bits, the user confirms the channel points usage and we get a TransactionReceipt for it that we can send to our EBS.

15. Add a per channel developer topic to extension pubsub

    For extension pubsub

    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference#send-extension-pubsub-message

    There is

    • global
    • channel

    topics

    please add

    • developer (with a channel ID)

    to allow "developer JWT ONLY" pubsub messages to a specific channel

    Similar to the config developer segment.
    this means there is a secure method for developers to send data to a specfic channel without burning the global limit (and triggering skip paints on other channels)

16. Enable non-validated extension for my viewers

    As a developer that loves creating new ways of interacting with my viewers there are things that would benefit from using the extension system but that would be way too specific to my stream to be validated for everyone.

    As far as i know, the only ways of having an extension enabled for my viewers is either to go through the validation process or whitelist every users one by one.

    Maybe i'm mistaken, but I don't think twitch would validate an extension if other users cannot actually use it, and whitelisting the viewers one by one is not viable at all.

    Is there a reason why it's impossible to have an extension i made avaiable for my viewers without those two options ?

    I believe this would open up new creative interactions.

17. Improve the accuracy and precision of "hlsLatencyBroadcaster" in the Extension helper library.

    An improved "hlsLatencyBroadcaster" value unlocks and improves interactive experiences that rely on precise synchronization. For example, the Tobii eye tracker Extension and many Genvid Extensions that rely on this latency for accurate click or display location.

    Long-Term Consideration  ·  AdminJon Bulava (Developer Relations, Twitch) responded

    This functionality may be considered in the future, and we appreciate the feedback and comments provided on this suggestion. There are some technical challenges to solve to provide a better experience for synchronous use cases, though we do not have a timeframe for when this effort would be prioritized at this time.

18. Autoscale for video components should have a minimum width

    The autoscale option works great in bigger resolutions, but I don't want to sacrifice breakpoints entirely. It would be great if I could toggle autoscale to kick in after a certain width. This would allow for fine control for smaller resolutions and still enjoy scaled up versions of my biggest breakpoint for huge resolutions like the 4K fullscreen mode.

    My biggest breakpoint is at 500px so that's where I start scaling the extension.
    I made a quick proof of concept of this if anyone's interested.

19. Create extension allowlist based on Stream Team membership

    I would love to make a private extension based on who is part of a stream team. This will allow additional users to be able to install after release without having to update the allow list and re-publish the extension.

20. Recommend slot

    It is not uncommon for an extension to be activatable in multiple slots, giving the broadcaster placement choice.

    However, whilst extension developers offer this flexibilty they may want to prompt/suggest that the streamer installs the extension to a specific slot.

    Please provide a way for Developers to mark a slot as "recommended" and update the UI to show a "Recommended" badge next to the slot in the extensions/manage UI
