Live vs Reruns

i think it should be made cleared when a chanel is on a rerun, it shouldn't say "LIVE"
A way that i think they could help new streamers, or lew viewercount streamers overall is to have two subcategories, Live and Reruns.
this would let streamers that are live have a chance to grow.

on the asmr category it's getting out of hands the amount of reruns, youtubecompilations and bots. and we can't do anything about it too. i've reported multiple channels but they are still there, even getting into front page. it's sad to see how the essence of t
witch is getting lost.
promoting reruns over live channels

Hi! This past weekend was LOL Worlds, unfortunately I couldn’t watch it live. Something that is fairly common, especially when the event is in another time zone.

But this is no problem as I can always watch the VOD afterwards. But something that is somewhat ruining the experience for me is that I can see the time left of the video.

However, in the biggest esports such as LOL, CS:GO, OW, and Dota 2 the big tournaments are usually played out using best of matches, meaning they play until one team reach a certain won matches. Because of this the time left of the VOD can quite easily give away how many games are played.

Example: a VOD is 4h w a 30min intro from casters, each match is usually 40min w 15min in between and some after talk. I know when clicking on the video that this most likely only contain 3 games. Let’s now say it is a best of 5 (first to 3 wins win the whole thing). This means the team who wins the first match is the winner of the whole thing because there isn’t enough time in the VOD for the other team to win 3 matches on top of this.

It kind of takes away the excitement of watching a grand final for Worlds, TI, a Major, etc.

If there was a way uploaders could mark their VODs as live events so it doesn’t show the length of the video and the user has an option to watch it back as a live event w/o a time bar but still on demand as opposed to VODcasts. In the best of worlds it would even be possible to fast forward as some of these events have like 1h of countdown before anything actually starts.

Thanks

You know how there's some big event happened and you want to see streamer's reaction to it, but you was offline or following a lot of streamers from a similar directory.

You know the time of an event/announcement, so you need to calculate the time from the start of the VOD and when the stream began to also find an approximate time of the moment. It's harder when there's no preview in the first day or the timeline preview is here, but the streamer showed it off-stream.

So, because of that you usually limit yourself to the 1-2 streamers if some at all, even if you're following a bunch.

My suggestion is to add an option in the VOD player to always show what was an IRL time atm as well. So you can instantly click on your needed minute. Would be perfect if it shows a local time, but one world time is fine too.

First of all, I'm unsure if this in the right section? (please move to right location if not)

Anyway, we all like watching our favourite streamers right? Some play music and some either don't or play Non copyrighted music for legal/ad friendly reasons.

I would like a 2nd volume control option on the video player itself that is JUST for music that the broadcaster can stream thier music to.

Benefit for the broadcaster;

• Can stream normally and listen to their music without fear of being unable to monetise later. This secondary volume control feed would not be part of archive videos to be able to achieve this. The music would only be in the live video in the moment.

Benefit for the viewer;

• Viewer can watch any given broadcaster with the choice of just watching;


• The casters voice audio


• Game audio


• Completely muting music audio should we choose

I'm not a developer so have no idea if this is feasable or how it would look like to the caster when trying to use such feature, My only request is that Desktop users get this feature first (if it has to be implemented platform by platform)

All of my settings were correct, the broadcast absolutely should've saved. I was streaming through Streamlabs OBS and at the beginning of the stream we were having trouble updating the title and category, both through Streamlabs and on Twitch itself. Partway through we were able to update the title and the stream otherwise performed normally, no issues with latency or chat or dropped frames, a perfect stream. But when I got home and checked my Videos section, where all my other broadcasts have saved, it wasn't there. When I look at a clip somebody made from the broadcast, in the chat window to the right of the video it says the past broadcast associated with this clip has expired.

I'd really love to get that video back, any ideas?

Fix it so when Editors for a channel click under a streamer's VOD to create a highlight it doesn't take them to their own VOD page, instead of the channel you are an Editor for.

Same with the 'MANAGE VIDEOS' button on the highlights page that links to https://www.twitch.tv/streamername/manager - where you are an Editor for that streamer. When you click it it diverts to your own video manager.

The only way to get to the real page is to manually type the streamer name into the url or make a bookmark for each streamer you Edit for. I think there are a couple of other similar dead end links that do the same.

Popout chat during livestreams is amazing for someone like me with two monitors, I wish I could do the same with VODs. The feature to popout the VOD player already exists, however the ability to popout chat is not there. If you could link the time between the VOD and the chat in the VOD so they sync up It would be such a big quality of life improvement to the rewatchability of live streams. Yes theatre mode exists, however the screen size is sacrificed and there is no way to have the VOD's chat overlayed either. Please add a popout chat for VOD's.
