1. Make embeds work on iOS web based apps (like ionic)

   While it works on Android, it is still impossible to use iframe embeds on web-based mobile iOS apps. The reason being that iOS' WKWebView expects <schema>://<host> in the CORS headers returned by Twitch. Twitch uses the parent parameter to generate those headers. Unfortunately, iOS prevents the use of http://, https:// and file:// as schemas and forces us to use a custom schema like ionic://localhost (or anything else) for accessing local files.

   The request is to add the ability for twitch embeds to return a CORS header that can match a custom scheme like ionic://localhost.

   I read through all forum topics on that subject but none provides a working solution. Please see the following discussions for an in-depth explanation why the current state of twitch embed cannot work and a suggestion for a solution:

   • https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/embedded-player-within-ios-web-based-mobile-app-e-g-ionic-not-working/36227
   • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68105361/twitch-embedded-player-on-ionic-ios-not-working

2. Create embeddable follow button

   would love a follow button that works like Twitter Follow/Tweet button. To avoid the need to oAuth-loop it and users would prefer that rather than granting access to their account for developers to throw a follow at any channel.

3. Interactive Frames for Clips and Improved Embedded Clips Player

   Make more developer tools for working with embedded clips.
   At least, it can be the same tools as for the VODs player (playback api, events etc). Or you can add more features specifically for clips, for example, when you put an array of clips into player it displays as a collection or playlist.

5. Twitch embed loading more ads than stream

   Really, who approved this. We bitched about this and now you refer us to this new place, killing off the discussion thread we had before. Hoping we let it slide. You are actively creating this problem and are unwilling to fix it.

   Test was concluded, results are in. We are not nagging our external users enough. That seems to be the conclusion of last months 'extensive' testing.

6. Display hosted channels parameter option

   Consider a parameter option to display hosted channels if the embedded channel is not live. The parameter option is being suggested so that a broadcaster/developer can choose if they do or do not want hosted channels to display when the experience is embedded.

7. embeds should not require a webserver

   parent only works for webservers. not everyone wants or needs to run a webserver to embed videos on a localhost page using file:/// this change benefits no users at all. it may help with 3rd party sites, but file:/// is NEVER a 3rd party but is now blocked from being used due to the parent requirement. this is affecting moderation bots and other tools people use on their local computer that isn't served from a webserver.

8. Add streamline chat embed option

   Add a streamline embed option for chat. Be able to remove the header, leaderboard, and footer options to be more inline with the mobile website style.

   This comes from an example from the forum, but this would be very helpful on mobile websites, and responsive websites. Having only 1 or 2 lines of chat on screen is counter productive, and a terrible user experience.

9. Regular Purple Popups Ruin Experience

   The purple popups that occur when watching an embeded stream really only serve to worsen the experience of using an Embed. Attempts to engage with third party content are ruined but these purple screens cutting off the action every 15 minutes and the "Best experience" that twitch claims you can get from using the website directly is an experience devoid of the actual functionality provided by some third party applications that are at time the whole reason for seeing the stream in the first place.

10. An iOS Embeds UI update

    Ever since the embed updates back in 2020, the mobile embed experience has been sub-par. The suggested way to embed on iOS was to embed on your website, then load the website in a web view in your app. This was so that we could pass along the parent parameter. However it results in a number of issues that I'd like to suggest solutions for.

    First, the issues:

    1. The UI of the player is unusable. If you load your own website embed, then it is far too small to use. If you simply load the pop out player's URL, then the elements are too big and overlap each other and block UI elements from being useful.

    2. Embedding in the way described above means that there are desktop controls (for example the keyboard shortcuts in the settings menu).

    3. Web browsers mostly prevent starting a stream unmuted. This is true even in an iOS WKWebView.

    Possible solutions:

    1. A parameter like mobile=true or something similar to let the player know to lay itself out in a way that is mobile friendly.

    2. Twitch or the community (probably me) can create an SDK to allow embedding natively. It might be able to use an app or user access token for the Twitch API in replacement of the parent property on web.

    3. Twitch can expose a stream URL through the Twitch API, which can require an app or user access token. Stream URLs are very easily accessible anyways, it'd be nice to have a Twitch approved way to access them. This would allow us to create our own player, and the developer agreement could require things like follow/sub buttons be displayed alongside it.

    These are just a few possible solutions. I know that Twitch wants to maintain a high level of quality for its users and developers, and this is a great opportunity to do so!

    Feel free to hit me with any questions or poke holes in my solutions.

11. Follow the new embed requirements during a raid redirect.

    It's as the title suggests.
    When I embed a chat and include the parent parameter then that streamer initiates a raid, the chat embed redirects to a standard popout link for the target channel and not the embed link with the same parent as was set. I believe that when we set the parameters they should stay during this process.
    eg: twitch.tv/popout/channel/chat when it should be twitch.tv/embed/channel/chat?parent=...

12. Add Team Embed Option

    I would love an option that mimics the team page's embed, that it shows the top streamer, or even a random active streamer from the team. So you can just embed one object, and Twitch will do the logic to show whoever is currently live.

14. Responsive Embed Widgets

    The "Embed everything", "Embed Video", and "Embed chat" widgets should be responsive instead of a fixed width and height. Or if we specify the width, at least automate the height so it respects the aspect ratio.

16. Allow VOD chat embed or publish chat event stream from VOD

    I use multiple twitch VOD embeds on my site, and I'd love to be able to show the chats for at least one of those VODs. Ideally I would just be able to embed a chat like I embed a VOD somewhere on the page, tying it somehow to an already embedded VOD. Another thing I'd be happy with would be an event stream of messages plus relevant data like usernames, badges, and emotes so I could build the chat myself. I'd also want it to support seeking the same way a normal twitch VOD chat replay supports seeking

17. Timestamp is not working properly when clicking on the twitch logo on an embedded VOD video

    Timestamp is not working properly when clicking on the twitch logo on an embedded VOD video

    ---

    When clicking on the twitch logo of an embedded video of a VOD, the normal behavior should be that it goes to another tab and opens the VOD with the timestamp working. However the behavior that is shown in the video and through my experience is that due to the link/url including "/?ttcontent=twitchlogo&tt_medium=embed" after the timestamp, it invalidates the link with the timestamp.

    [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1044994951?t=3h47m46s/?tt_content=twitch_logo&tt_medium=embed]

    [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1044994951?t=3h47m46s%2F%3Ftt_content%3Dtwitch_logo]

    If the link was instead "https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1044994951?tt_content=twitch_logo&tt_medium=embed&t=3h47m46s", it would work as intended.

    I hope the issue can be resolved soon, thank you

    Here is a video example of the issue, thank you for looking into this.

    For reference, I used this website: https://twitchmultivod.com/#/1044994951/1045012895

18. OFFICIAL TWITCH PLUGIN

    Some of us have websites- eCom stores, information websites, etc. I have a PC hardware review website and would like to wish to integrate it just like Youtube. I wish Twitch had the tools that worked.

    Twitch has embed code separately for viewing and chat. But it's rather a general code that has fixed width and height. You'd think a big platform like Twitch would have an official WordPress plugin with a responsive design. Also, plugins have better compatibility with WordPress.

    There are plugins for Twitch, but they have long been discontinued. There are so many websites out there that use their own coding for responsive twitch stream and chat embedding on respective sites. They get a large audience and typically WordPress pages/ post has better search engine indexability and discoverability.

    If you want to force people to join Twitch for complete interaction from websites, fair enough. omit the chatbox and have the view-only window, instead. This way people can view but if they want to interact they'll need to sign up and sign in. But at least have a WordPress plugin for an official responsive twitch stream window.

19. Add overlay info to the player embed state

    We really need a way to determine what overlays display to the user so we can handle them gracefully. For example, we have no way of knowing when the mature overlay displays and this negatively affects our channel discovery UX.
