  1. It seems a lot creators play more than one Game per Stream. But it's just possible to tag the VOD in 1 categorie, even maybe streamed in 2 or 3. And even if they change the category while streaming, the VOD will have just 1 category.
    So if users search in the 2., they will not see the VOD even the creator streamed that game too.

    That's bad for the creators who miss potential new followers and bad for the viewers who maybe miss a good stream.

    If I search for VODs in a category, I wanna see all fitting…

  2. If someone wants to watch a past VOD and it's been past 60 days or more, it's usually deleted. But, we can change that by letting streamers/creators have an option. When a VOD gets deleted there should be a trashcan/uploading feature on whether they want to delete this VOD or let it be uploaded again for another 60 days.

    Or, if that's too much for the streamers to deal with; then there should be an option where chatters can easily vote JUST for themselves if they want to see this VOD again or not, they can also go back and…

  3. I am not an affiliate, but the VOD settings tell me that my videos will save for 14 days. I've found that this has been changed to 7 days. Please update the VOD menu so that this change is accurate. It's been incorrect for almost 6 months now.

  4. Similar to YouTube where you can save vods from different channels to a playlist to watch back to back instead of having to hunt through the channels you normally watch.

    Hey,

    Thank you for your suggestion - it's great. Just wanted to mention I have moved it to Video Features > VODs for further consideration. Have a good day!

  5. Me and alot of streamers know the struggles behind streaming. Possible disconnections, power outages, Crashes etc. And whenever we restart a stream, we know that another VOD is created for that stream.

    I kindly ask for a feature that allows streamers to select multiple vods and have an option to MERGE them into 1 singular VOD. This would make it so much easier and make streamers page's look so much cleaner.

  6. Pouvoir sélectionner sur la page des VOD de voir du contenu uniquement si nous sommes abonnés à la chaine ou du contenu dit "gratuit" c'est à dire non abonné aux chaines.
    Cela permettrai de filtrer ce que nous pouvons ou non regarder, et aussi de savoir quel créateur laisse ses rediffusions sans abonnement et/ou avec abonnement.

  7. Allow Streamer to set who can download VODs (viewers, subs, mods) and add a button to download the VOD, also add the option to download the VOD's chat w/o it (it can be a .srt file so it can be used with any player).

  8. Please allow filter to remove "Not Interested" streams when browsing VODs. If we're not interested in their Live stream, we're not interested in their VODs either. It makes it tougher to find new content while browsing game category VODs.

  9. After making VODs it's difficult to find one from a specific date. We need a sort option for date streamed, date archived, ect.
    Clips have this option but not videos.

  10. Currently, if you have a link to a deleted VOD, there's no way to find who uploaded it. This is very annoying. Say you have an old saved tab with a VOD you were watching. You open it, and it's deleted. You have to guess based on the saved title (if you have it) of the tab who you were watching.

    A solution to this issue would be making deleted VOD pages contain the name of or redirect to the channel that uploaded them. Or alternatively just adding an optional (to not break existing links) param to the URL pattern…

  11. Twitch needs a stripped back youtube-esque library section for creators to upload their stream vods or edited videos. Most creators use youtube to upload their past and current content, however the trend im seeing recently is that most genuine creators are fed up with youtubes algorithms and minority of toxic members spreading hate and hurtful comments. If Twitch could create this idea i think it would revolutionize their platform and they would be able to somewhat compete with youtube for content creation. Thanks for listening to my idea.

  12. When streaming for the first time twitch should ask you if you want to add it as a VOD. If yes then it should bring you to settings so you set it as a VOD after streaming.

  13. When reading chat messages on VODs, scrubbing through the vod shows only the chat messages after the point where you scrub to. Would love to have previous chat messages stay while scrubbing through the vod the same way that feature works on desktop.

  14. Many times when watching VODs, you just want to see the highlights without watching the entire thing. This would make it easier to stay up to date on your favorite streamer or get a feel for a streamer you're interested in watching.

    An elegant way to be able to do that could be with a histogram on the progress bar based on chat frequency.

    A competitor recently implemented histograms on their progress bars based on most watched parts but given that the majority of watch time on Twitch is live and uninterrupted, having it based on chat would be more…

  15. Transforms VODs into IPFS, they will never be deleted and with nft.storage you can upload files with 31GiBs or use ipfs.io 👍

  16. With larger international audiences, you're likely going to have some people relying on VODs due to time differences or work/life commitments.

    I envision a VOD feature where you can see the VOD player and if you click a button you can see bubbles along the progress bar or a graphic which if you click on brings you to other users watching. I imagine you could have two columns or maybe an interspersed chat so that users can decide what they see.
    The benefit is that people can enjoy watching VODs with others in sync. Sense of community.

    Not sure if…

  17. As a mod I get access to watch unpublished vods of the past streams that the creator I'm modding for has done. What I don't get is why the chat is not visible when watching these unpublished vods? If the chat were visible, it would make it so much easier for us mods to look back at certain points of the stream, and give reports to what has been happening in a vod without everyone else given access to it.

    What I would love to see is:

    • Full chat on unpublished VODs.
    • A time marking feature visible for mods and…

  18. Allow streamer to mute VOD sections and re-publish to be sure the mute is in the correct places (the auto-muting is quite often off the mark).

    Giving the option to mute the section in the vod while live would be awesome as well. For example, when playing a game that has copyrighted music in it we could easily start the muted section just for the VOD without muting in the live stream. This would be particularly helpful for playing games that have copyright music in the soundtrack which is safe to live stream but not to have stored in the…

  19. There is a VOD problem that started a month ago. VODs that were created on a Thursday, supposed to be deleted 2 weeks or 1 month later on a Thursday, are being removed on a Wednesday. This isn't for my channel, this is for some people, so it is somewhat random. Please fix this issue. Thank you

  20. When you normally watch part of a vod, close the page, then reopen it later. It remembers where you left off. If you were to instead watch a vod by first selecting a chapter, if you close the page and reopen it later, it brings you back to the original timestamp of the chapter selected. I wish it would remember where I left off instead.
