  1. I was updated to a more recent version of the Twitch TV app. The unfollow button is often defaulted, and it is VERY easy to mispress the button.

    If I am already following the streamer, this option should be tucked away where it can't be pressed as easily. It is obnoxious, and could undo the user's following date for the streamer.

  2. While watching certain streamers on my TV app the screen will blink/flash a black screen almost every 2 seconds. I suggest you fix this quick as it will cause seizures. I don’t think you guys would like a lawsuit from me cause you hurt me or a loved one that has issues with situations like this. You’re lucky it hasn’t caused a problem already. Fix it , or I’ll be rich.

  6. Please fix whatever is wrong with the Twitch Samsung TV app available on their hub. The Twitch app works fine on our Sony and LG tvs, but on the Samsung (my main tv) it can't stream over 480p without buffering. I've went through every trouble shooting thing under the sun, including with their techs. Reinstall, uninstall, reset, one foot in, one foot out, did the hookie pookie and turned it all about. Nothing helped. I'm also a Twitch streamer and like to watch parts of my streams with my family on that tv. Think of the children...

    I've tested every…

  7. Add the ability to "View all" videos from the videos section on a channel like it is for PC or Mobile on Samsung Twitch App. At the moment only the last 12 videos can be seen in the list and the other ones can't be reached at all. Waiting for a response. Thanks!

  8. Hello! I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for your Twitch: TV app. I really enjoy using it to watch live-streaming on my big screen TV. However, I would like to share my opinion on how to improve the quality of streaming on your TV apps. I think there is more you could do to improve streaming performance and provide a more stable connection. Maybe you can do more research and testing to find new ways to optimize and improve your streaming experience. I believe you can continue to improve the quality of your app and I look…

  9. I know this is a tough topic but most streamers use third party services to allow emotes.. you need to address this on all platforms because anywhere besides PC / third party apps will suffer. This means that on smart TVs you get a subpar experience. Android gets SoundTV which is amazing, but Apple doesn't have a good twitch app at the moment by comparison. It's good for watching the stream, but you don't feel like you're part of the community which is something you preach to care about

  10. Right now, if you want to see the chat for a stream, it has to be to the side of the stream. It looks ugly and creates black bars.

    Let us have the chat in a small box in a corner. Let us control the opacity of the background, the size and position of the box, as well as letting us switch back to the current one.

    SoundTV on android tv does this amazingly well and rather than hiding the chat like I do on appleTV I get to show it and enjoy it without it ruining the stream.

  11. Delay was introduced in the latest app update. Prior to this, the latency was <5s, and on par with mobile and web playback. The new Android TV app plays back with a latency well above 15 seconds, which makes it very difficult to interact with streams in a real time manner.

  12. Currently, there is a BUG with Watch Parties in relation to the "streamer window" that moves above chat while the stream from Amazon is happening on the main part.

    Since about April 6th or so, I start my stream ("starting soon") in another category (as one can't as Watch Party - ahem ahem...) and the scene shows perfect. Any scene switch shows fine in any gaming category too.

    I then start the watch party and the show/movie themselves stream fine. However, MY scene, which moves above chat just the same as when someone's stream moves there during ads, is just…

    More Info Needed  ·  Ana responded

    Hi,

    To clarify, you posted this under TV Apps; are you only noticing this behavior on the TV App, or is this behavior true for when viewing on web? Please let me know. Thanks.

  13. After the most recent Twitch app update/redesign for Apple TV, Top Clips is now missing when going into any categories. For example, previously before the most recent update/redesign, one could go into Just Chatting, and at the bottom would be a row of Top Clips within that category. This made finding new streamers and keeping up with the latest news/drama/etc. much easier and more interesting. Please add it back!

    Also, the new design looks great! Keep up the awesome work.

  14. On the WebOS app for LG TV, the back button on my TV remote should make the overlay disappear rather than bringing me back to the previous screen.

    It should only bring me back to the previous screen if the overlay is not being displayed.

    Disappointed to not see this UI function not implemented in v11 pushed out 9/05/2022.

  15. Dark blue usernames in chat can't be read unless you go really close to your TV. Maybe a light mode would fix the problem. I don't know. If not, then Twitch needs to get rid of dark blue usernames. Light blue is easily readable.

  16. I just bought an Apple TV in May 2023 and was excited to install Twitch on it. However I am not happy with it. Half the channels that I am subscribed to do not show up in my "Offline followed channels" list. I have to search for them by name! This is silly. I have to go back to casting Twitch from my phone.

  17. The upgraded Fire TV app debuted this week and while there are some improvements there was one giant step backwards. At the end of streams it no longer stays with the channel when the creator does a raid and the stream just ends. Please bring following the raid back on the Fire Twitch app.

  18. A recent change for your TV apps (I've tested it on LG/WebOS and Apple TV) when a stream ends it goes to a splash screen showing the stream has ended.

    In a recent previous version it would return to the home page showing live streams you follow and recommended streams. Now I have to click out every time a stream ends to see that list.

    Maybe a "best of both worlds" in which the splash screen saying "This stream has ended" returns to the main list after 30 seconds or so?

  19. I would like, and I think not only I, what for viewing began to pay a money. Not only requiring payment translations, and and payment for those who looks. Similarly it would be not badly to think of payment for the attentive tracing.

  20. I love watching my favorite Twitch streamers through my TV app!However, I have noticed that sometimes the transmission quality can be a little low.I think that improving the streaming bandwidth and optimizing the codecs can help improve the transmission quality on my TV.It would be great if Twitch could provide a stream quality selection option so that we can choose the best quality for our internet speed.I'm sure Twitch will continue to improve their service for all of their viewers and I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
