  1. Please add a simple keyboard shortcut to popout the video player. Shift+F feels natural to me (F alone is for fullscreen) but any other reasonably convenient WASD-area key will do.

  2. the new addition of these shortcuts is great, but it is difficult to understand the function of the key, it would be great if different colors were used instead of black and white

  3. At the moment we're only able to see the relative timestamp (i.e. "x days ago", "x months ago", etc) when we're viewing a video or clip.

    To make it consistent with the experience when browsing videos, add the absolute timestamp of a video/clip when hovering over the relative timestamp just below the player/above the title.

  4. Hello,
    I have a feature request concerning VODs (so it concerns both categories, I chose the second one, just because).

    The user YHCHKN_ proposed a great idea with his 'Watch Later' feature
    but I still considered my idea worth being shared to come in addition to his.

    As a big twitch consumer, I have many VODs from many creators that I would like to watch. And in place of having plenty of tabs of these VODS waiting for me to have free time to watch them, a dedicated feature would be more than useful (not only for me I hope).

  5. As you may know, picture may become blurry when Video's Resolution is different from Display Resolution(player's size).

    Comparison of "theater on 1440p" vs "popup1080p": https://imgur.com/a/ES2kCfA

    Would be nice to have option to make Display Resolution to match source. Blank space could be filled with background color. Also it make sense to let user to reposition "video player" within "filler area" e.g. attach to left/right/top etc.

  6. I love to make clips, it's one of my favorite ways to interact with the community. I think I'm well over 1000 clips created at this point, mostly from one streamer's channel. Trying to find anything is a nightmare. The best way I've found to search is to sort by date and scroll until I think I'm in the range of the clip I want, press ctrl+F, and type in a word I think is in the title. Then, because I can't read more than one or two words from the title column, I have to guess which one on…

  7. I'm having the same problem creating clips, it always shows up in red "Oops, something went wrong." and I thought I might have reached a maximum "limit" of clips and saw that I created clips when I was trying to create new clips, and deleting those, one by one, in one of those deletions, deleted ALL my previous clips. Can you solve this?

  8. It took me a very long time to find out where to actually find my markers when I do use them on stream, because they are hidden away in the highlighter section. Would you consider adding stream markers to our VODs so that they are 1. easier to find and 2. Even easier for us to make clips from our VODs rather then having to go into the highlighter first then finding where the marker is from there!

  9. Remove the ability to stream at 60 fps, that'll immediately cut the costs of those streams using that by almost half. Then limit max resolution to 1080p and if you want to go further you can limit viewing a stream to 720p unless you're subscribed to that streamer which will then allow you to watch in 1080p. Some people may be upset about the latter but if you want to cut costs and become profitable that may well do it. It may even increase people subbing.

  10. The recent change to limit the editing and deletion of featured clips to only the channel owner may not be the best solution. It would be better to provide an option for the OP to request for deletion as well.

  11. Sometimes I hop through a bunch of different streams and would like to go back but if the browser history doesn't have it, it can be impossible to find. It would be nice if Twitch had a list of the last 20 or so streamers you visited and you could pick from that list.

  12. Whenever i want to go fullscreen, there is no way for me to see chat unless the streamer has their own chat on screen. It would be great to have an ability to pop out a transparent chat window that you can move around while in fullscreen.

  13. 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…

  14. It'd be nice to disable auto-play on Front Page videos. Just had the experience where I went to twitch.tv and the sound blasted in my ears, lol. Not the biggest deal in the world, but it would be nice to have the option to disable auto-play.

  16. Stream snip3r no sniping! Stream snip3r no sniping!

    Idea: If there were an easy option to add a video delay easily during any part of the broadcast, it would prevent stream snipers from ruining the fun for everyone.

    In the Gaming Category especially it would be awesome if Creators had a way to easily add a +5 second delay.

    Reason: Whenever the streamer is being stream sniped it ruins the fun for the viewers. It also makes the streamer understandably frustrated and want to quit live streaming their favorite game.

    Creators might only want to game later in the broadcast…

  17. I would love to be able to minimize/maximize the different channel categories, specifically the Recommended Channels bunch of channels. I'd rather see more of my followed channels.

  18. I have 6 or more chatters interacting with my ChatBot, ie. Streamlabs Games and Such, and my Viewer Count shows 1 or 2 Viewers.. The Interaction lasts sometimes for over an hour and encompasses several ads.. As an Affiliate i am counting on these views for revenue. This is effecting my pocket book and not acceptable.

  20. Opening the clipping tool without making a clip, then closing it ex 10 minutes later unintentionally creates a clip with the stream title as the clip title
