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 that you are live and are streaming "X" could be helpful.

1. Option to always send an email (obviously not everyone wants this so it should be an OPTION. I use email notifications as a history of when people have gone live. I also get push notifications of emails from that email address on my phone, so I can tell when people have gone live.




2. Base it actually on ACTIVITY. If I have browser windows at home open to twitch that does not mean I am ACTIVE on twitch. You should be able to tell when I'm active because I'm chatting or I'm clicking around the site. If I'm using the app, send notifications there. If I'm using the site, send notifications there. If I'm not using anything....revert to email (but also see #1).

It just needs to be smarter. Since you implemented it the notifications have only either been going to my browser window at home, or my phone via the app. I'm not active in those 24 hours a day. I have received ZERO notifications in my email since you turned "smart" notifications on.

Would it be possible to add another toggle to allow for streamers to turn of the host notification filters in the activity feed? I host a lot of friends and they host me and I would like to be able to know when everybody hosts me as I am a small streamer and like to thank the individuals that do but I recently found out that the activity feed auto filters out channels with low view counts. As I think it is a good feature to allow that filtering, I don't think it should be a permanent thing for all channels. The streamer should be allowed to toggle the filters as they can toggle whether they receive host notifications at all in their activity feed

Streamer schedules vary widely, and sometimes channels we enjoy watching tell us they're going live at inopportune times. We could be in an important meeting, or we could be trying to sleep. Sometimes, we're just not in the mood to receive notifications from Twitch on our phones. I'd like to see some further customization in channel notifications, so we can, both per channel and at-large, tell Twitch which days of the week, or which times of day to avoid sending us notifications, so we can maintain those periods when we need to focus on something else without sacrificing our ability to know when our favorite streamer is going live during the time we can watch.

I recently received a notification with the message "Get in on the future of hip hop and R&B: Guapdad 4000, Kari Faux, and more at Move Forward Fest 2020" that links to the moveforwardmusic channel, but it was labelled as "Moderation Needs". This was probably a mistake, but I think this should have never happened in the first place, especially when I have the Marketing notification category turned off.

This suggestion is for Twitch to better improve their notification procedures in order to prevent this issue from happening again. Proper notification controls are important for users to ensure they don't feel spammed by them.

The ability to set notifications for people you follow based on category or date. Sometimes a channel will be a collaboration between multiple people or it's just one person that happens to stream a lot of different stuff and you don't want your notifications flooded with things your not interested in. So say for instance you have a notification setting set so that you will only be notified when the streamer is doing "Just chatting" streams or a stream for a particular game or if you have a setting set so that you only get notifications from a person you follow if it's on a particular day. Some streamers have schedules for certain content in which they might stream mostly regular games during the weekday, and on Saturday through Monday they stream different games that are more attuned to the kinda content you like. So you could have a little calendar pop up for individual channels and you can set which days you would like to be notified about streams and which days you wouldn't.
