1. Mandatory AI disclosure for 3rd Party Twitch Developers

   Create transparency for the streamers/viewers on Twitch.

   Twitch should require developers to state whether and how they use generative artificial intelligence to create player-facing assets, live-generated content, or marketing materials.

   The disclosure should be displayed in a designated text/disclosure section on the extension store.

   This UserVoice is based on Steam's AI disclosure implementation. https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3862463747997849618

2. Icon / Logo for Twitch Intergration

   I know we are not allowed to use the Twitch Icon / Logo on our games Splash Screen to state that our games supports Twitch Integration as the game starts up.

   But it would be nice to to have one due to I have seen some Twitch Creators play a game and not even know that the game can integrate into Twitch to allow for their Viewers to interact with the creator in the game.

   So I think it would be a cool feature to add. Or maybe a way for developers to submit their Splash Screen or Cut-Scene with an Animated / 3D version of the Twitch Icon / Logo to be approved via Twitch Submission.

3. Allow local extension test to work on firefox - solution attached

   Currently, when developing twitch extensions, the local test mode does not work in firefox. This can be fixed by adding the "loopback-network" permission to the outer supervisor-ext iframe, making the allow list allow="loopback-network encrypted-media *" - this will allow the browser to request access to local resources if they are accessed, such as the dev iframe.
   More info about this security feature can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Defenses/Local_network_access - adding this to the iframe delegates permission for accessing local resources to the parent scope, which allows the prompt to work and local access to actually pass through.

   An example in the TwitchDev discord of this working, by setting the permission and clearing + re-adding the src to the iframe to force a reload: https://discord.com/channels/504015559252377601/523676096277905419/1533659031141351477

   This is a fairly quick fix that completely fixes the local test mode of extensions, since that broke after firefox added tighter security features for accessing local resources, without inherently weakening security (people don't get this prompt unless the supervisor requests access - you aren't adding it to the actual extension iframe, so other extensions can't then request local access to resources themselves)

4. IRC shared chat support

   To the best of my knowledge, the only way to determine that a chat is shared is by checking the room ID for each message and verifying if it matches the origin.

   IRC should broadcast custom events whenever a user joins or parts a Stream Together, as well as when shared chat begins or ends.
   This information is already public on the website for casual viewers, failing to provide a dedicated event for this forces developers to rely on workarounds that could break at any time.

5. Exposing Channel-Wide "Featured Clips Only" Setting in Helix API

   Dear Twitch Developer Team,

   While working with the Twitch API, I discovered an issue regarding clip privacy and visibility. Currently, it is possible to retrieve clips via the API that are not intended to be publicly visible on a creator's channel.

   To provide some context: I have developed a streaming tool that automatically displays a clip from a creator right after they raid my channel. Recently, a raiding streamer informed me that my overlay showcased a clip of theirs that they had intentionally hidden from public view on Twitch.

   Upon reviewing the Get Clips (/helix/clips) endpoint, I noticed that while individual clips contain an is_featured flag, there is no parameter indicating whether a channel restricts its public listings. Broadcasters can configure their channel settings to display "Featured Clips Only" to the public. However, the API currently provides no way to detect whether a specific channel has this restriction enabled.

   As a developer, I want to respect other creators' privacy and avoid exposing content they expect to remain hidden.

   Could you please add a way to retrieve a user's clip visibility preferences? For example, introducing a boolean flag such as onlyfeaturedclips (or featuredclipsonly) to the /helix/channels or /helix/users endpoints would allow developers to filter out non-featured clips appropriately and prevent accidental privacy exposure.

   Thank you for your time and your continuous efforts to improve the Twitch API ecosystem.

6. Create the ability to Stream and view MULTIPLE SCREENS

   Create the ability to view two screens at once, if a user has multiple monitors they could set up two screens of twitch and select each screen for each window or has an ability to see all screens at once. Maybe up to 3 screens? so that on mobile we could stack them on top of each other in lieu of chat and black boxing.

7. Top (point) voters as part of Poll result

   When querying the result of a prediction you get the top predictors just like in the Web UI.
   When querying the result of a poll you don't get the top voters (by point bought votes), but you do get the list in the Web UI. I am working on a prediction/poll management tool and would like to be able to show similar overviews to the web result UI, but it's not possible for polls due to this.

8. sleep timer

   For folks that have insomnia the chill streams (the IRL, singing streams, talk streams etc) are great to doze off to. The downside with no easy sleep timer you have to wake up to log out.

   the plus side would seem to be those that didn't want to be woken by ads would sub to creators to not break the vibe

9. Message Fragments for EventSub/API Endpoints that only provide plain text

   Most newer EventSub/API endpoints give a message fragment property where the plain text message is broken down into its components (text, emotes, cheermotes, mentions, etc).

   Bringing this forward to all existing EventSub/API calls that only provide a raw text field would be a welcome change, as this would start providing emotes that one could not parse otherwise when handling, and having a common defined property.

   Some endpoints that only provide plain text would be: (this is only a brief list, there are likely more)

   Custom Cheer Redemption Add (EventSub, userinput)
   All Channel Reward EventSub subscriptions
   Get Custom Reward Redemption (API, userinput)

   Overall, this change would improve handling for any and all text based events/api calls, and provide a common pattern to use when handling them. As well as access to Twitch emotes that were used in the message.

10. Expose HLS playback URL via helix

    I'm building a third-party Twitch client for iOS + Android and embedding player.twitch.tv in a WebView with the embedded JS method. One major problem is that this process is quite fragile on mobile. Playback
    works in the sense that audio plays and video advances but standing up a full chromium/safari instance on mobile is performance intensive and results in the view being quite taxing on the user’s device, in addition to not being the best developer experience:

    • WKWebView on iOS and Android System WebView both add memory and GPU cost on top of my application, rather than just using the lightweight AVPlayer (IOS) and ExoPlayer (Android) video player. We’re having to effectively shipping a mini-browser in the app to play one video.
    • Layout is expensive. Any animated resize of the WebView container (common in mobile: chat open/close, rotation, keyboard, bottom sheets etc.) can stall or detach the video compositor

    Because of this we’ve had to spend a lot of engineering time trying to get the webview to behave properly on both platforms, rather than focussing on other parts of the application and delaying our release of the application.

    What would actually be ideal and less of a frustration would be to have a Helix endpoint that returns a short-lived HLS URL for a live stream (and ideally VODs), so native apps can just use native video players instead of having to load a full chromium/safari embed.

    Example:

    GET /helix/streams/playback
    ?broadcaster_id={id}

    Response

    {
    "data": [{
    "broadcasterid": "123456",
    "streamid": "789",
    "playbackurl": "https://…/index.m3u8?token=…",
    "expiresat": "2026-06-07T20:30:00Z",
    "type": "live"
    }]
    }

    • 404 / offline when the broadcaster isn’t live, consistent with Get Streams.
    • Optional video_id param for VOD playback later
    • Clear docs on refresh cadence (when to re-fetch before the playback url expires)
    • Explicit rate limits

    This mirrors patterns that other video APIs use: fetch metadata, receive a stream URL and pass that to the player

    Constraints I’d expect from Twitch:

    • Requiring registered client ID + OAuth, same as the rest of Helix.
    • Geo / entitlement checks server-side.
    • Ads / subscriber only handled server-side in what URL is returned (or a clear error), not up to the client to implement ideally

    Please also expand the “My Assigned Roles” dashboard page to include currently missing roles like VIP and Artist.

13. Twitch Sings

    At the very bottom off the Twitch Developer Site (dev.twitch.tv) there is still a Product called Sings listed in the footer. (https://imgur.com/a/6OcBxVN)

    Not sure what Twitch Sings was or is. but the site (sings.twitch.tv) just redirects to twitch.tv. So might aswell just remove it from the footer.

14. "Remind Me" notification bell on scheduled events when their live.

    I’m building a Twitch app/extension that creates and manages scheduled events via the Helix Schedule API. We can create/read/update schedule segments, but there doesn’t appear to be a public API for Twitch’s native “Remind me” / bell notification for scheduled events.

    It would be nice to include the Remind Me button as an api call reminding users to call to action for certain events or when they go live.

    We could have a simple button that says "Remind me" on our app.

16. Add contributor to Hype Train Progress V2 Event as it was in Hype Train Progress Event

    The V1 Hype Train Progress Event included the "Last Contribution" data. With a use case of including all participating users in a "Thank You" message (or similar), this information is beneficial.

    Hype Train Progress V2 Event does not include the users who have contributed besides the "Top Contributions". The alternate method I could think of would be to treat all subs and cheers between a "Hype Train Begin" and "Hype Train End" event as contributors, but this also currently negates all users who participated via extensions since those Bit Events are not available. Should those Bit Events become available, I would be willing to use this alternative for my use case (though clearly less convenient).

    In summary, I am interested in a method to thank ALL users who contribute to a hype train, as was possible via the V1 Hype Train Progress Event. Thank you.

18. Issue with Helix API’s game_id Field for Completed Streams

    When using the Helix Get Streams endpoint, I’ve noticed that once a stream ends, its metadata no longer includes the gameid (or gamename)—even if the broadcaster had correctly tagged a category while live. This makes it impossible to retrospectively determine which game was played in past sessions.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Call GET https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=<streamer>

    While live: Response includes non-null gameid & gamename when the streamer has set a category.

    Immediately after the stream ends: Same call returns gameid: null (and omits gamename).

19. Get Streams by platform/device

    When using the Get Streams endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-streams). It would be great if you can add a query parameter to get live streams from specific device(s) only.

    Use Case:

    I run a PlayStation themed website and app (Pocket PSN) where users can link their Twitch accounts. I would like to create a live stream section that shows a bunch of live streams from our users, however, I would only want live streams from PS4/PS5 consoles.

    This is to prevent people from simply linking their Twitch and streaming games from a PC or games that don't even exist in the PlayStation library. This would also be a more accurate portrayal of the game (eg: beefed up PC specs may show a game in much higher quality than what the PlayStation is capable of...or visa versa)

20. Subscription-Message Endpoint emotes update

    Currently the channel.subscription.message EventSub provides a message object in the payload that does not match the format of message objects in nearly any other EventSub (example, channel.chat.message or channel.bits.use). The version of the message object that provides the fragments would be ideal for use in the channel.subscription.message EventSub as well. I would encourage the development of this as a "version 2" of the channel.subscription.message EventSub, just like the version 2 of the channel.channel-points-automatic-reward-redemption.add EventSub

    I think this could even be added to a version 2 of the channel.cheer EventSub and any other EventSubs that have message objects.
