  1. I thought of a donation that allows the user to send a private message to his favorite streamer, the streamer being able to respond or not if he wants to.

  2. I would like to formally request viewer-side controls to disable on-stream combo / Hype / Power-Up messages that appear directly over the video content.

    At the moment, these combo messages significantly degrade the viewing experience, both on desktop and mobile. When multiple messages appear in quick succession, they can cover a large portion of the stream, distracting from and actively blocking the content viewers are trying to watch.

    The core issue is that only streamers are given control over this feature, while viewers — who ultimately finance the platform through subscriptions, Bits, and ad views — are given no choice…

  4. Not every streamer wants emotes flying around their screen or sounds going off or any bells and whistles or whatever new shiny thing you all come up with. Some of us like our quiet, simple streams and get plenty of engagement without giving buttons for viewers to push constantly and annoy us with. I find 2 of the 3 new Power Ups to be incredibly distracting for the vibe of my stream and I do not want them. You can get plenty of "consistent viewer experience" without forcing new features on streamers that would never use those features.

  5. I know it makes you money, but we already have so little control over what goes on with our channel. This is an absolute slap in the face.

  6. I would love it if bits had more use, and I think a good way to do this would be to enable bits to skip ads so that you have the option for your raiders to not be hit with an ad the second they enter a stream. While subscribing to your favorite streamers is good, I feel like this would enable some more micro-transactions and frequent twitch users would have a small reserve of bits (better than none at all, which is more common) for those instances.

  7. Third-Party Extensions like Blerp allow you to spent bits, but bits spent in those extensions do not contribute to hype trains or to cheerer rankings. I think it would be a great improvement to fix that; it would promote bit spending, interacting with third-party apps, and increase hype trains to help with streamer success.

  8. My idea is this couple ideas actually i say make bits more appealing to buy to support streamers how can this be done you ask well many ways but 2 ways i thought of is this. after buying so many bits you could give viewers exclusive emotes that only they can have if they purchased so many bits. another way is lets say someone buys $50 in bits allow there next purchase to be dollar for dollar in bits rather than 1.40 for 100 bits but only after they get to a certain threshold of bittie purchase history. Another way…

  9. I like doing giveaways and gift subs to my stream are only interesting to the most loyal viewer. It would be awesome if as the streamer I could do a bit giveaways. This would not just promote people to use bits on my stream, but maybe it will increase bit engagement as a whole. People love the bits once they start using them. But it seems a lot of users are unaware of what bits are. So here is my suggestion, allow us to do bit giveaways at market value (1 cent=bit) using 25% of our accumulated revenue (this is…

  10. The benefits of Twitch Turbo are very lackluster - The Chat Badge, Expanded Emotes, and custom username colors provide little value added benefit for the price of the subscription, with only the ad free viewing and broadcast storage being of any particular value. Also, having twitch turbo appears to convey no benefit to creators being watched, and in fact, would deny them the ad revenue Turbo subscribers pay to avoid without providing that creator a substitiary revenue in some other manner.

    Therefore, I propose that Twitch Turbo add a small monthly stipend of bits as part of the Turbo service,…

  13. Some Streamers don't like the idea that gigantify emotes is a bits only thing. It's a very cool feature yes, but the streamer should have the option to make it cost bits OR channel points at will.

  14. Power-Ups currently do not work consistently across most platforms

    Smart TV Apps (e.g. LG TVs) don't show Power-Ups in any way. The emote and message ones result in these not even showing up in the chat feed, let alone showing the highlight/giant effect.

    The Android app (unsure about iOS) currently does not work fully. Emotes and messages show up when other viewers use them, but without their paid effects. The Celebration feature does not work at all.

    I'm unsure about support on console apps, casting devices, etc.

    The most immediate concern is for mobile support, considering the large amount of…

  15. It would be really cool if you could have a treasure box system using the bits the streamer buys.

    This system would have a global space where any viewer could find their treasure box raffle.

    Example:
    Streamer puts 100 bits and in order for other users to participate and earn these bits they need to do missions.

    Among them could be:

    Follow the channel;

    Watch for 60 minutes;

    Watch 1 ad;

    Share the channel.

    This tool exists on the trovo live platform, and even if they are competitors, good ideas should be shared.

  16. Please. I feel its a simple request. In @JustinTheRealSchiele stream we love raccoons, and raccoons are loved as a meme. They are simply lovable and popular little creatures. So this is a petition to have them as bits so we can drop raccoon bits. Please. I think it would be great for the entire community.

  17. Many users like to work towards a badge goal when gifting subs and bits. Total subs gifted in a channel is already tracked each time someone gifts a sub, which allows the user to understand how close they are to the next sub badge (i.e. "PersonA has gifted a sub to PersonB. PersonA has gifted a total of 975 subs in the channel" -> now they know if they gift 25 more subs, they will get the 1K subs badge). I'm proposing something similar for bits, either publicly or locally so that the user can see their total bits contributed…

  18. Allow viewers to use BITS (cheer) currency to buy micro ad-free viewing blocks for channels.

    0.10 Bits for 1 Hour
    0.20 Bits for 2 Hours
    0.25 Bits for 5 Hours

  19. I am a small streamer who received 3subs the other day before being able to receive those funds. I think if I can't get that money it should go into twitch bits for me to at least use around twitch! then i can re-support the community that supports me. Maybe there's a threshhold to hit to make it real money? IDK But i want my $8.61 :(

  20. As long as combos exist and people are using bits to do them, they should add to bit goals. Right now even if a user gives me 700 bits via combos the bits goals can't/won't update and I think that they should count as bits towards the Twitch dashboard bit goals just the same as any cheers would.
