The possibility to embed Streamlabs (and other) alerts when streaming thru the Twitch mobile client.

Embedded like a browser source, I would say 1 or 2 sources maximum (to keep in mind, it is still a mobile thing).

I think this will help to create a better experience on and with mobile, because the look and feel for the viewers - compared to a Desktop stream - is kinda similar and familiar.

Twitch already offers some options to use Streamlab components in Chat, why not extending the good experience in the Broadcast-part, too?

With a simple grid system...

1 - 2 - 3
4 - 5 - 6
7 - 8 - 9

... the Alert layer can be aligned, valid for Portrait and Landscape format of the phone.

I think that will encourage more Broadcasters to do IRL from abroad, because known elements are still used and visible - for the Broadcaster and their Viewers.

I don't know if this is an oversight on Twitch's behalf, but you must realise that the text size on your apps is tiny. It's too small to be used comfortably by some users.

For many people either with bad eyesight or using their phones and tables to keep up with chat whilst streaming they have to put up with this tiny text that gets in the way of the enjoyment of streaming.

I, amongst others plead with you Twitch, please put larger font sizes in chat for those that need them. Be inclusive to those with less than perfect eyesight. It should be an easy inclusion for you and it would be a well welcomed feature within the community for those that this issue blights.

Please consider adding this feature to the mobile apps. You will make a lot of people happy and be more inclusive to a group of people that are struggling with your current font size.

Thank you for reading my suggestion, I look forwards to your hopefully positive response.

Please consider offering a stand-alone iPad Twitch Studio supporting the following:

• direct streaming to Twitch via Control Center (reliable, unlike StreamLabs)


• voice disguise by replacing mic audio with GarageBand audio running in the background applying your choice of filters to preserve streamer privacy by not exposing our raw voice-print to the Internet in order to interact with chat enjoying the benefits of vocal expression and immediacy


• automatically suppress Twitch’s own app notifications while streaming!


• the option to select which apps are allowed to contribute to the stream (i.e. only composite in the signal from apps you choose, e.g. only the game app and Twitch app so that other apps being shown on screen won’t interrupt the stream)


• a way to “pause” the stream without disconnecting, and when you do, automatically muting audio as well, and showing your chosen scene card (e.g. an image of your choosing/making for “be right back”) without needing a streamdeck or anything


• scene overlays that support alpha channel content for full transparency effects (e.g. PNG files). Bonus if support blend modes, especially over the game video, as well.


• chat over either transparent or translucent background to allow viewers to continue to see the game while you chat with them through the Twitch app itself in SlideOver (or, by implementing the aforementioned control over which apps are visible on-stream, simply not selecting the Twitch app to contribute toward the signal would allow me to freely chat and move the SlideOver window without worrying about it obscuring the game for my viewers)(I don’t own anything but the iPad so expecting me to have chat on my phone is a non-starter for me)


• customizable SlideOver view of the Twitch app to include widgets for the following in a configuration of your choosing:


• chat


• events


• scenes (as previously mentioned for “be right back” but also anything else you set up) similar to StreamLabs but all integrated
  Extra bonus would be if overlays could be video layers for import from Motion or iMovie. Probably not possible right now, but it’d be neat to have game audio drive the parameters round-tripped in real time through the app that’s generating the overlay.

When watching vods or clips on the horizontal mobile player, tapping to bring up controls makes the follow, notification, and sub buttons pop up. WHY??

When you're watching live it's not a huge deal because you don't need to use the seek bar. But watching a vod or clip, it's insanely annoying having those buttons take up a third of the screen every time you want to go back a few seconds. If I'm watching a vod from a channel I've been subbed to for a year, why I would want the option to unsub and unfollow them popping up every time I want to go to a different part of the vod?

I don't think anyone would miss it if you made it so that group just never showed up in the horizontal viewer. It'd make watching vods a lot nicer. I would love it if this was changed.

Also, related to that, the areas you can tap to activate the skip back and skip forward buttons are really small. If I want to go back more than ten seconds, 70% of the time I will end up opening or closing chat. The fact that the channel info bar moves everything up a half inch doesn't help. The detection areas for those being bigger, or the chat being toggled with a horizontal swipe could be helpful.

First, please, PLEASE find a way to keep the mobile app from disconnecting from the stream. This is an incredibly frustrating experience to be in the middle of something and have the stream fail.

Second, the autofocus on the android app is in need of serious, serious improvement. I cannot overstate this enough. Please allow manual focusing, or allow autofocus to be turned off. The functionality is really poor.

Third, please inherit the stream description from the creator dashboard if it is changed there. If I have to restart the stream for whatever reason (see first), having to edit the stream title is such a waste of time on top of the frustrating experience of having to restart the stream.

Fourth, let us possibly from the creator dashboard, put up a card or something that keeps the stream alive if it fails so that viewers are not lost. If you're not going to fix the reliability of the stream from the mobile app, at least let us control what happens when the stream goes in the toilet. The one stop shop "prevent disconnection" mode in the preferences isn't sufficient.

Thanks for reading this.

I've sent an email to Twitch Support and tweeted at Twitch Support about this issue, and cannot receive the right information to fix this with no answer/limited responses.

Very often, with games like No Man's Sky or Jedi: Fallen Order, I'll find that my Category tag or chosen (not automated) tags will just disappear more often than not. I don't think many people suffer from this, but I do for some reason, as it's hard to find fixes from the internet, like Reddit, or even from community Discords or Facebook Twitch groups. The best info I've received from Twitch just links me to the Tags/etc pages from Twitch, but don't actually address my problem. I've tried many troubleshooting ideas, and none of them work consistently. I'd like to figure out why this is happening, and how I can fix it.

Thank you.
