  1. as it is now, adds are force fed to us. they come up unexpected, and loud. its worse than TV, and i am THIS close to installing an addblocker. ive seen many folks online for years talking about addblocker. i never took one, to support my fav streamers. but you now implemented adds, beyond the streamers choice. the viewing expierence has dropped, and i will not take it much longer. be rude to us, i draw the line and install addblocker so i can enjoy my expierence.

  2. Having an automatically added tag for any stream with pre-rolls currently disabled (through automatic ads or with the new automatic ads) would help drive discoverability towards those using this feature.

    I feel it would also encourage more streamers to use the ads appropriately during low activity moments or when they take a break from the stream, thus also increasing revenue.

    By having it as a tag that will be automatically added (and removed) it's easy to filter for streams that have the tag within a category. From conversations with my viewers, they would definitely be more willing to check out…

  3. When looking for new streamers, it's common to interact with the streamer and ask questions, especially before subscribing. It would be great if ads were delayed after a user asks a question in chat. I was recently watching a streamer with 200-300 viewers while actively engaging with his chat. I asked a question and then as soon as he began responding, was given four ads. Personally, I see value in mitigating this. Let me know if you agree!

  4. As a streamer, it is incredibly frustrating to be in the dark about when ads are being run. Please add a feature to the stream manager that includes a countdown when the ads are running so that streamers can see both when they are being run and how much time left until they are finished. As it is, I have to rely either on my chat or have an incognito window up (which takes up valuable monitor space) just to be aware of when ads are running because they are not perfectly consistent with the schedule set in the ad…

  5. This feature request that I'm sharing is that Twitch should make a program for Twitch streamers to promote their channel. Instead of regular ads on the time, you get Twitch streamers. To order to get an ad, the streamer has to pay once a month to order to get their introduction ads out there. This feature should be open for every streamer, affiliate, or partner. Big or small. This Twitch streamer could be used ad banners or a normal 15-30 sec ad. The Twitch streamer has to introduce themselves, what type of content they do, show quick glimpses of their…

  6. I have my ads set to run 3.7 times per hour but if the streamer isn’t told a Ad is running the viewers will miss out along with the streamer… you need to put the Following in chat. “Ad has started” only the streamer an see this … or “Ad will start in 10secs and last 2 minutes etc… then “AD ENDED”

  7. As the title says, I'd like the ability to be able to determine when I watch ads myself and bank 'ad-free watch time'. If you feel like the stream is a little on the slow side of things, you can decide to watch an ad instead so you won't miss that one epic moment that you're waiting for. Preferably add the options for '30 seconds' '1 minute' and '3 minutes' of ads.

    Would also say this shouldn't exclude you from the streamer's own ad break. If the streamer does an ad break themselves, it'd be nice if those ads counted…

  8. User controlled ad experience:

    -Users run their own ads to build up an "ad immunity" duration for their current account.
    -This ad immunity duration will allow the user to view streams without encountering preroll/midroll/other ads for this period.
    -Longer the ads watched the longer the ad free duration.
    -Can have an upper limit of ad free viewing time, requiring additional ad viewing to top off the duration.
    -Users can choose who gets the ad revenue share, depending on where they trigger the ads to view. Either with a channel they want to support, or give the share to Twitch. Use…

  9. If you guys are going to completely FORCE ads down our throats, you need to do one of three things:
    1) By far the easiest solution - Make Ads Skippable after X seconds.
    2) Make ads something that pops up as a Picture in Picture in the corner or something when a stream is running. I honestly like this one the best because I honestly wouldn't have an issue checking out whatever is being advertisted as well as (and I cant stress this enough) NOT MISSING STREAM CONTENT because someone wants to run 7-10 15-30 second ads in a row.…

  12. Can't remove "Live Shopping". I will NEVER buy anything advertised to me on twitch. I NEVER want to see my side panel filled up with commercial slop channels. Could you just not. Have to use adblockers just to use the ****ing user interface.

  13. I will never pay you another cent as long as you serve ads like this lol. I used to rotate sub between like maybe 30 streamers from 2014-2019. Now I watch the website maybe 5 times a year. I've been in a streamed special event today for like 3 hours and all it has done is give me negative impressions and further cement how much I just don't want to be here or ever give you money. From my perspective all forced ad have done is made your platform unattractive, many times people will just ask to switch to kick…

  14. Create a separate page where people can choose to watch (or participate in) ads voluntarily, which would give some virtual currency, similar to Discord Orbs and Quests.

    This currency could then be toggled to be automatically used when an ad would happen mid-stream, instantly skipping it and deducting some amount.

    This would decouple ads for streams, removing the annoyance of watchers, which is very detrimental for the ad itself too, as they'd connect a negative emotion to the ad mid-stream, whereas voluntarily watching it could be neutral or even positive if they are interested in the ad.
    Twitch could get…

  15. I would really like a new feature where you can automatically mute ads. All ads.
    I am all for helping creators by watching ads and giving them revenue. It would help if we could watch ads without any sound. Ad and content volume normalization doesn't always work, sometimes ads are much louder still.
    And if you watch and listen to a stream that has a story, it is immersion-breaking to hear a weird ad-jingle in the middle of a sentence.
    Please consider this feature, it would highly elevate the experience.

  16. I hate ads but understand their necessity, however when I get an ad I always close the stream. The player-in-player ("PiP" lil pop out stream window) on mobile has been turned off in every way that I can (mobile settings, stream/player settings, twitch settings) but still pops out when I close a stream on mobile. Given my hatred for ads and the inability to control what the app is doing this leads to an easily fixed frustration. ---->Allow me to turn off PiP for within the twitch app. <---- I have zero idea why it's forced in the first place…

  17. Subject: Request to add a category for One Piece Bounty Rush

    Hello Twitch team,

    I’d like to request the addition of a dedicated category for One Piece Bounty Rush.
    It’s an official mobile game developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, available on iOS and Android.
    The game has a very active community of players and content creators who would love to stream under its own category instead of using “One Piece” or “Just Chatting.”

    Here’s the official game link for reference:
    🔗 https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/one-piece-bounty-rush

    Adding this category would help organize streams better, improve visibility for the game, and make it easier for…

  18. Think of Lisbon as a living, breathing venue—the kind where light shifts, stories float down cobblestone alleys, and timing is everything. Planning a day here isn't about scheduling tasks it’s about reading the city’s rhythm.

    That’s why the Expert Event Management Company Lisbon Portugal(https://pearllemonexperiences.com/event-management-company-lisbon-portugal/)
    mindset matters—it’s not about impressing anyone with jargon, it’s about syncing with what’s already happening. They frame things in real terms—historic halls, beachside gatherings in Cascais, sleek spots in Parque das Nações—not as flashy bullet points, but as settings with texture and logic. The tone feels like a chat with someone who’s thought it…

  19. I noticed that / the creator, may want to view their ads.
    but I see only the option to switch subscriber ad "on or off".
    I am suggesting that a switch for the creators view be applied.
    so the creator can see their ads - and not disturb the subscribers ad view!

  20. It's high time Twitch seriously considers implementing a native feature that allows popular and large stream hosts to see who's clocking the most time in their chats and directly tip their channel moderators who put in a lot of work for their streams.

    This isn't just about charity or a "nice-to-have"; it's a strategic move that benefits streamers, moderators, and the platform as a whole.

    Here's why Twitch should make this a reality:

    • Elevating the Role of Moderators: From Volunteers to Valued Team Members.

    Currently, the vast majority of Twitch moderators are unpaid volunteers. While many are passionate fans happy…
