Recently, I have noticed on a few streams that the viewer count number is inaccurate. Personally, I have not expirenced instances with the count being higher in any inaccurate way - however, I have experienced the count that is showing for viewers being much lower. (Example: Twitch may say I have 3 viewers, reality is I have 10, and 7 of those 10 may even be in the chat itself.) Unfortunately, because of this it suppresses the streamers viewability as well as tanks average viewer count for analytic purposes, including the tracking for streamers on the path to partnership. Is twitch aware of this happening? If twitch is aware, what is twitch doing to ensure accurate viewer counts? And lastly, for a view to be fully counted on twitch, would you please go ahead and inform the general public exactly what we as viewers need to do to ensure our views are being shown on our favorite viewers live streams (or what not to do), in addition to helping streamers be able to determine organic growth pertaining to thier channel?

• Higher Bitrate: (Above 10.000, with video quality selector can be managed so if someone won't use that high download usage, he can tweak it), we still have a really low bitrate, and that force us try to tweak OBS to reach higher quality with lower CPU encoding speed. Still this is not a miracle, and 6000 bitrate is so limited (even if there is a trick to go beyond and reach 8000 bitrate).




• HDR: OBS doesn't support because it's not worth it nowadays since Twitch is not supporting it, but other platforms are starting to give a hint to this technology. I think would be nice to have this option since Twitch is being used in so many Smart TV's in the present. So they could enjoy Twitch in a higher quality. Probably this option should need Twitch partnering with OBS or any other streaming program to make it possible in the best way.




• Higher framerate/resolution: These days we're having better connections that allow us to go beyond the old limits, we could make this work since right now is really normal to see a gameplay in 120FPS and even the next gen consoles are supporting it.

Twitch is the best stream platform, but our technical options are the same since almost 10 years ago. We should aim to higher quality so there are no quality loss between our viewership and our content.

It's time to wake up and make some improvements :)

Some of us have websites- eCom stores, information websites, etc. I have a PC hardware review website and would like to wish to integrate it just like Youtube. I wish Twitch had the tools that worked.

Twitch has embed code separately for viewing and chat. But it's rather a general code that has fixed width and height. You'd think a big platform like Twitch would have an official WordPress plugin with a responsive design. Also, plugins have better compatibility with WordPress.

There are plugins for Twitch, but they have long been discontinued. There are so many websites out there that use their own coding for responsive twitch stream and chat embedding on respective sites. They get a large audience and typically WordPress pages/ post has better search engine indexability and discoverability.

If you want to force people to join Twitch for complete interaction from websites, fair enough. omit the chatbox and have the view-only window, instead. This way people can view but if they want to interact they'll need to sign up and sign in. But at least have a WordPress plugin for an official responsive twitch stream window.
