The option to mute just stories instead of all notifications for a creator is helpful as this can be noisy

I want my paid subs to be able to use the emotes they get as a way to react to stories. It's just one more benefit to the sub they are paying for

Give us an option to hide them from the beginning. More visual clutter makes me less inclined to click on them, not because I don't want to, but because I'm now refusing to use the feature out of spite for how it was implemented, even if it is a good feature

No, just NO. If I wanted stories, I would go back to using YouTube, or look to FB or IG. I'd even establish a TikTok, but I came to Twitch to get away from that BS plus the abundance of ads. There needs to be a way to disable stories and only view the content we are paying for (IE Turbo, channels subbed to etc) Adding them in just makes you blend in more with YouTube. The only thing that they will do is take up viewing space and bog the system even more that is already twitch glitchy

To those saying that "I'm sure the ones complaining are not streamers" and "they don't take up that much space" They take up 1/3rd of the space on android in portrait mode and the full screen in landscape mode, followed by clips. And without viewers that may or may not stream, you have no platform on twitch. People come to watch vods and lives not for the stories or clips. Without a way to disable them they are bogging down the mobile platform. Thank you Twitch for helping me spend less money and minimize my followage as I've been unfollowing and unsubbing due to the stories and I'll go to Turbo only since the price of that also increased and I refuse to pay for a feature that is 1) on other platforms for free and 2) due to the increase in ads and when Prime users even have to pay an extra fee to go ad free on videos then turbo will go away as well.

I love the new stories, and most of the small creators like me like that feature, It's a great feature to stay connected with the people that somewhat don't want to follow us on another social media. But I would like to add video on my Twitch Stories, even wanted my first story to be special but when I went to upload, there wasn't an option for videos, or to add music to photos. This make the stories less appealing. Also it would be a blast to have them on desktop version. Please don't take stories away, I've been waiting for so long to have a community feature in Twitch.

I would like a way to block them from appearing, I will never use them and don't want them to taking up space in the app.

Stories have been out for 24 hours and I'm already annoyed by them. Get them outta here!

Please remove this or add this to the bottom, I am only watching live videos not stories on mobile.

Pointless feature, Twitch did not need stories. Clutters the app. At the very least let us toggle them off.

I don't give a single **** about viewing stories. Let me hide these from your app. How you release this without a way to hide them as a base feature is mind boggling.

Stories doesn't support the ability to post videos directly from your camera roll, only photos. Can we expect to see support to update stories with the ability to share videos from the camera roll?

Please add an option to turn off this feature.

It's clutter. I will be unfollowing any streamer who posts stories, which forces another live streamer out of view.

I absolutely HATE this feature. It was alright when the first social media did it but now everyone has it. It’s repetitive and annoying, it gets in the way of what I’m actually looking for, and I guarantee will be the fastest way for me to unfollow or turn notifications off for streamers.

It would be highly beneficial to expand the features of Stories on Twitch by making them accessible on computers. Many users browse Twitch from their computers, and this feature could help them interact in a more immersive way.

Furthermore, the addition of video content within Stories would be a significant advancement. This would allow streamers to diversify their content and provide a more captivating experience for their audience.

Lastly, enabling the ability to share Stories on other social media platforms would increase the reach of content and encourage engagement.

Rotate and zoom out on images would be nice. Tried using a horizontal or cropped image but it just zoomed way in on it to fill out the vertical screen and I couldn't find a way to fix this. This limits the content I can post.

Useless feature that bloats my following tab and sends me notifications I don't want to receive. Twitch is not, nor should it ever be, social media. Stop adding stories to literally everything.

And I swear if you ever add "shorts" or "reels" when you already have clips...

"At launch, eligibility to create a story will be limited to Partners and Affiliates with at least one stream of 45 minutes or longer in the last 30 days." That's me, but I have no access to create stories :(

Why does everything have to have stories now..?
I use Twitch for watching livestreams, if I want to "stay connected" with a streamer I will follow their other social media because that's what those are for. All this feature does is clutter up the main page.
Please, at least let us toggle them!
