  1. I would like to see the ability to toggle notifications for our followers.

    Sometimes I don't want all my followers to see I'm going live, especially on days where I may stream multiple times. Some days I would like to go live without sending out any notifications.

    Admin audit: added in additional words to title, so it's easier to find/understand idea from title alone

  2. Please stop automatically turning off notifications for streamers I haven't watched for a while. At the very least, either give me an option in the email to revert the changes, or be smart enough to know which I have manually re-enabled so as to stop making them part of the next wave. I'm not on Twitch often, but I like knowing when certain friends are online, and it drives me absolutely crazy to have to go seek out each person from a long list of subs and manually re-enable the notifications every time the algorithm decides I don't need them…

  3. Most advertisements you get in emails at least give you the option to unsubscribe. I know what games and I'm not interested in free loot or whatever. The world has too much click bait already.

  4. I would like to have an option that whenever you are live, and you change the category of what you are currently streaming, that new "go live" notifications (push, email, etc.) are sent out to followers. Even if it takes several minutes for these notifications to go out, it would be beneficial. There are times when a certain game (or category) is being streamed that followers might not have an interest in watching, but should you change to a game (or category) that they might be interested in watching while you are already live, having new notifications being sent out…

  5. As a viewer, I would like to be able to receive a push notification when any streamer goes live in a certain category, or with certain tags, or both! I love finding new streamers to watch, and this would help me discover more of them.

    Oftentimes, there are less popular games or categories which will have low numbers of viewers, who are very dedicated to that category. If I'm a viewer who loves an older game, I would have no idea that someone new has decided to try that game unless I already followed them (or happened to be browsing…

  6. Please add an option to fully disable Streamer Shouts. The existing notification setting does not stop Shouts from appearing in the Streamer Shouts announcement/inbox bar at the top of Twitch. Even with the Streamer Shouts notification disabled, the icon continues showing new/unread Shouts.

    If a user disables Streamer Shouts, there should be an option to stop receiving them entirely or at minimum prevent the announcement icon/unread counter from appearing.
    Right now, disabling the notification doesn't actually stop the part of the feature that's intrusive.

  7. I still want to see when my friends’ channels go live but I don’t want notifications for reruns. I’d like a separate option to disable that.

  8. Give us a toggle to disable watch streak notifications. Even when I disable every notification I am still getting streak notifications.

  9. Currently if you have smart notifications on, you'll get a go live notification on Twitch for a few seconds and then it disappears. While on mobile, your notifications stay until viewed due to how phones work.

    I would like all go live notifications to go into "My Notifications" so you can actually see who recently went live from anywhere on the website.

  10. When you select the "Prime gaming loot" button to the left of the notifications button, you are shown a list of notification of the possible loot to claim and for most you are able to clear these by clicking on the 'x' and it disappears but if it's the last of these notifications clicking the 'x' does nothing.

    This was seen on chrome, ever since that tab's been updated to show the "All", "Free Games" and "Ending Soon" tabs

  11. Notifications are consistently failing its purpose, they notify users that we are live after 4-6 hours, this is terribly detrimental and force creators to use third parties to allow their communities to know they are live, also impacting their success and by extension, Twitch's success.

  12. Notifications are great, but not when you're at work. It would be great to have the option to set time frames to either receive notifications or to not receive notifications.

  13. Let us turn off the new Shouts feature, we already have notifications and stories and loads of other bloat. It's so pointless. Twitch feels like a gacha game with all the "CLICK ME!!!" bs on the UI now.

  14. streams that happen later that day or night. obviously it would depend on streamers making the notifications but i think they would since it would probably help with the lull of not many users watching when they first go live. also would be cool for the people watching, since they'd be more likely to catch their favorite streamers when they're on, since they can see that they will be and plan their day or whatever accordingly, instead of having to hope that when the streamer goes live, they happen to be able to watch the stream right then.

  15. Remove streamer shouts entirely! It's an annoyance at best and even if you turn the notifications OFF you are still BOMBARDED with notifications of people you don't even associate with or care about. Twitch staff have not been any help and roll out broken updates that make one think it was produced by COD devs. If you are going to roll out something new then make sure it at least works first.

    Secondly it can cause mental health distress to those who have MH issues.

    REMOVE IT OR FIX YOUR STUFF TWITCH.

  16. This happens frequently, If i follow a channel because I want to check it out or see when its online the notifications are automatically enabled and then ill get a notification in the middle of the night

    Added bonus if I then want to disable the notification on that channel I have to sit and watch an ad because it blocks the controls for this. So im either watching an ad at 4am or I'm likely forgetting and getting another notification the next day and getting woken up again.

    note; would be mitigated if we could only get notifications during…

  19. Don't push notifications of a streamer I'm already watching to me. If I've been watching them for 2 hours, then I already know they are live. I don't need another notification later. Especially when they are about to end the stream.

  20. When a user sets a notification, it's what the user wants, LEAVE IT SET THAT WAY, and stop changing the notifications, or using the BS lie about 'streamlining' the services.
    Twitch ONLY EVER DROPS NOTIFICATIONS on ADULT STREAMERS.
    Gamers, or Just Chatting streamers, notification setting never change. But anyone with any Adult related content on their other platforms, the notifications keep getting changed by Twitch.
    STOP IT.
    Users have set the notifications how we want them, Only Twitch is dumb enough to change user settings and force users to have to go and fix them over and over.
