  1. Hello to everyone who read that :)

    Me and a lot of friends take a lot of time watching stream together with screen sharing on discord.
    I know Spotify are able to detect Discord mic activity to stop playing music if it detect you share your listening on vocal, it would not be possible to make the same type of link, to count 4 viewers when i watch a stream with 3 friends ?

    Thank you !

  2. Now that the featured clips have gone live people are now going to random streams and spamming clips in random moments in vods. I was hoping that maybe there'd be a way to delete all clips from certain users on your channel. Like an option by their name when you click on the clip that says "delete all clips from this user." It would make things a lot easier than having to go through and select them all.

  4. This is a known community bug.
    Twitch was supposed to show the right chapter when choosing the live chapter.

    This hinders the creation of clips related to the specific game you are playing.
    That's why many lives, the clip isn't right.
    In the case of this example, the game was supposed to appear sonic and "games + demo" appeared, even when the clipping was created.

  5. "Retro" category streamers playing M Rated games are problematic because their stream doesn't get the "Mature-rated game" content label that gets automatically applied to properly categorized games.

    I suggest allowing people to set a game to Mature (instead of it being automatic, and locked out for manual enabling), or setting the Retro Category as a Mature game to capture everything.

    The labeling rule should not apply to all categories except Retro.

    Or remove the Retro category, but then where would old uncategorized games go (if they exist)?

    Am I being crazy?

  6. I use the Highlighter to trim my VODs. Highlights are then added to themed Collections on Twitch, and are also exported to YouTube. Today is 1st October, and within the last week I have noticed a frustrating inconsistency between the Highlight video playback on Twitch and the version exported to YouTube. Highlights I’ve created before 19th September are not affected.

    In summary.
    A Highlight video is made with single or multiple segments based on the VOD timecodes. The authored Highlight video in the Twitch video player does not play the segments at the timecodes set in the editor, instead each…

  7. It would be invaluable if VOD/Clip metadata (Title, description, date and time it was made, author, etc...) was included in the video file created when downloading, as part of the mp4 metadata content.

    Alternatively, the download could include a text file containing said metadata.

    As a bonus, I also support the idea of including the chat content associated with the video file either as a subtitle (srt) file, or as plain text.

  8. When watching a stream on your second monitor which is vertical you might want to have the chat out while in fullscreen. But the chat pops out from the right side and is located on the side, making the stream so much smaller. While on a vertical screen there are huge black bars both above and under the stream. Please make it possible to have the chat there instead of to the side.

  9. With the upcoming feature of local transcoding via OBS, I have a simple request, two fold:

    1. Allow the user to still manage custom settings for quality. The mention of "autoconfig wizard" is worrying, since I work hard to do custom encoding settings to make streams look better for my content.

    2. Allow high bitrate 1080p streams. 1080p still has issues with 6 Mbps and H264. If we are going to have 1440p or 4K streams that are going to probably push 20-30+ Mbps, it would be great to have an option of a "High Bitrate 1080p" stream. It would be the…

  10. A Feature Moderators and Editors would find extremely useful is a Functional Chat in Moderator View that would allow all Mods to chat outside of Stream Chat and to allow it to Pop Out like other windows in the UI. As a personal viewpoint, when you have 20 or more Mods in a stream with a very large large amount of viewers, Communication is a real pain using Whispers. This would help stream line and improve workflow and efficiency of Moderators.

  11. I've been using Twitch since 2018 and clipping has always been a bit glitchy. Recently something new has happened which makes the feature really difficult to use conveniently.

    I'm getting these error messages on the daily that tend to last for an hour after attempting to create clips.

    In the Clip creator after selecting the time to create the clip:
    "Whoops. Something went wrong."

    Then when attempting to delete the clip that didn't get clipped correctly:
    "There was a problem deleting this clip."

    This happens independently in both Chrome and Firefox and it doesn't seem to matter which streamer it…

  12. Some streamers I know are part of a shared community, so I once had the idea that it would be interesting to have something like a shared studio channel where the end user (viewer) can decide for themselves which of the channels they want to see what on.
    If the streamers are all playing together, the viewer could switch to the channel and see the perspective of the respective streamer. In doing so, viewers would not "refresh", would not miss anything, and would still be connected in the same chat.

    From the streamer's side, this would allow them to help…

  14. Allow top/hold to increase playback to 2x on mobile and desktop. YouTube recently added this feature and it’s great for speeding up specific parts of a video on the fly.

  15. ディスカバリーフィードテストに伴い縦画面用クリップが対象となりましたが、クリップを編集した際にそれらを解除する方法が見つかりません。
    意図しないクリップが表示されるのを防ぐために元のクリップをそのままに、縦画面用クリップのみを解除または削除する手段があると便利です。

  16. Please change the default key bind for toggling the theater mode to t.

    Currently the default key bind is alt + t. This leads to some issues:

    • alt also toggles a feature of Firefox
    • Inconsistency to the youtube player, which uses just t

    This would make the theater mode also quicker to toggle, since only one key is needed

  17. Creators need to be able to edit clips like we can VODS. Some folks make a clip but don't realize they can capture just a moment and we end up with clips that are too long.

  18. I am enjoying the new Featured Clips stuff. I am wondering why we cannot feature clips from "Clips I've Created", we can only feature them from "Clips of my Channel". You would think these clips would overlap, but they do not. It is just odd that the "Clips I've Created" (usually while I am LIVE), are not also listed in the "Clips of my Channel". If I go to a VOD and make it again, it does show up there. I hope I am making sense.

  20. There's a major issue with how people interact with the clipping system. Clips are meant to be used to share moments of interest with others. That's not how it's being used a majority of the time. A majority of the time it's being used as a rewind button.

    This is bad because:
    - it creates more work for streamers to find clips to feature
    - it costs twitch a lot to store that data

    This is due to the lack of rewind feature and a common misconception that clips are not public until you name and publish them.
