  1. Normal situation:
    Navigate to the VOD page > Click on settings in the video player > Copy the link at the current time

    It works: Video in Theater and Normal mode.
    It doesn't work: Video in Full Screen Mode.

    Problem: If you copy the link to the VOD at the current time when it is in full screen, the "Ctrl + C" function doesn't work and you don't copy anything

  2. as of lately all of a sudden basically the UI rearranged and now the bar/panel containing streamer name, stream title, viewer count and how long the stream has been live for as well as the share button and similar that was in 1 place below the player has been pushed above the player, only the sub and gift a sub buttons remained below the stream player, this doesn't happen when I open a stream in incognito mode on the same brower though, is this a bug or what?

  3. As of this month it has been changed so clips say "1 Month Ago" or "2 Months Ago" when they used to show the exact date it was posted. Please put the exact date back on, it helps immensely with my clip recaps and now I have extra steps.

  4. Restore Continue Watching feature. Can put it under Activity section. Finding the right VOD and spot in the video can be very frustrating

  6. "Who is allowed to feature Clips?
    Streamers and their editors can feature Clips by default. Streamers can choose to grant featuring access to Moderators by visiting their Clips settings. Moderators will be notified when they are given featuring permissions."

    Where?!
    I was given this permission by a streamer. Now, in the clip manager there is no selection for this streamers channel. The only two options are clips of my channel and clips I've created.

  7. Hello,

    i edited a clip and made it shorter than the original was. (great feature btw)

    Now it shows on the normal twitch web page, that the clip was made 8 month ago (which is correct) but on the Phone app it shows the date where i edited the clip.

    It should show the original date and not when i edited the clip on the phone app, since it is the same clip from 8 months ago and it would confuse the viewer when the same clip suddenly hasn't the original date anymore.

  8. At times, it'd be handy to be able to find out where exactly a Clip happened in your VOD. This could be extremely handy for creating a new Clip that's a bit longer than a viewer made it, or perhaps you know something else that you'd like to Clip happened a minute or two before/after that. I've more often than not found myself having to search through my own VODs for the moment a specific Clip happened in order to find what I need, and optimise my content for TikTok.

  9. The Highter is pretty solid, but it could use some modernisation. I feel the Video Producer/Highlighter could use a more convenient/easy way of generating Clips right from the feature itself. There is currently no way to create a Clip without creating a Highlight first, then downloading the Highlight - or creating a clip directly from your VOD, rendering the Highlighter unneeded entirely.

    The Highlighter would benefit from having an extra button that allows the user to create a clip from where their cursor currently is in the timeline. This would be useful, because the Highlighter is the only place we…

  10. Currently, portrait/vertical clips using the Stacked layout are stretching the content if the source isn't 16:9.

    When editing the layout it will appear correctly, but the end result once rendered will be stretched.

    For example, a 21:9 "ultrawide" source stream will result in clips that end up with both the facecam and the game being horizontally squished.

  11. Why does the "Show Full Video" button under a Twitch clip disappear so quickly? I'm watching a clip from less than 24 hrs ago and it doesn't link to the VOD anymore, even while the VOD is still published.

    For editors, the ability to jump to the VOD to the timestamp of the clip is an absolute gamechanger to save time. Especially with Twitch limiting clips to 60 secs, very often we actually need to cut a longer clip of the VOD.

    Between that and the fact that older clips only show a relative date, "A year ago" for ex.,…

  12. VODS (Past Broadcasts) & Highlights/Clips.

    Please bring back VODS for DJ's that have joined the DJ Program.
    Not seeing a DJ's Vods has affected viewer and follower numbers. It was great feature & helped promote the djs channel and grow his/her community.

    A Twitch user/viewer could get a feel of what a particular dj streamer was about by reading their bio and watching their vods and potentially then give that dj a follow. This in turn would lead to that viewer getting a notification when this dj was live. Thus leading to a new viewer and building their channel. Subsequently…

  13. When downloading clips and highlights, they are downloaded with names such as 2224195968-207398938-cf856266-22b6-4a1a-8b66-78b255a394ef , even when they are named on Twitch, causing me to have to rename them again on my pc. It would save my workflow an absurd amount of time if they were downloaded with their names.

  14. At the time of writing this, the "Watch Full Video" button appears on clips on the following conditions:
    - If the clip is created from a VOD and that VOD is available
    or
    - If the clip is created from a live broadcast + the broadcast has ended + the VOD for that clip is available

    If a clip is created from a broadcast that is currently live and has a public VOD that is being recorded to, the "Watch Full Video" button does not get added to the clip. Only the "Watch Live" button appears on this type of…

  16. Would love to see some kind of badge or notice shown on the VOD of a sub only video. Whether it's a blurred thumbnail with the words "Sub Only" on it as it would make it easier as a viewer to quickly scroll through a VOD listing and see a listing of sub only VOD's without having to actually click on the VOD itself, only to be told you can't watch it.

  17. Why are streams limited to 16:9 aspect ratio?
    Streamers has banners, chat, their webcam, goals, other stream relevant info all on top of their stream. If not fully customisable, there should at least be options for streams with larger/extra dimensions so there can be additional information shown without detracting from the main content.
    I saw a good example of this as work at Dota 2 TI last year. The main screen in the venue had additional space that showed detailed player character information in real time - it made for a much better viewing experience than simple gameplay-restricted view size.

  19. Dear Twitch, when I am watching a stream in full screen, I do not want to see hype-train notifications, pinned chat messages etc blocking up a portion of the stream, please give me the option to disable these, I find them intrusive and annoying, and it ruins my viewing experience.

    I'm not asking for them to be removed, just for me to be able to disable them so they dont pop-up while watching in full screen.

  20. Since the clipping tool has been updated during this summer, the page gives us a URL that doesn't correspond to the usual clip URLs.

    We previously had a URL of the form: https://clips.twitch.tv/RandomDictionnaryWords-4ZFs9PkmZbaX1mSl

    And now we have a URL of the form: https://www.twitch.tv/streamer_name/clip/RandomDictionnaryWords-4ZFs9PkmZbaX1mSl

    This new URL does display the clip, but no longer, for example, displays deleted clip errors.
