With the recommended clip section being posted at the bottom of the home page and there being a clear lack of a promotional algorithm, there is a easy alternative that could be implemented. Using the clips section to promote streams and adding a voting system. Giving users the ability to Like and Dislike clips presented to them and advertising the stream at the end of the clip. This could show users more clips from the recommended channel and channels similar to those. It could also popularize a section for the Top Twitch Clips for insert time period on the Home Page, as well as a Most like clips from this channel on individuals pages. Would you be interested in adding this system or a similar one to promote creators across the site?

I am experiencing audio issues with my VODs were you can hear my microphone audio but can not hear any of my desktop audio but during the live stream you can hear all the audio. I use OBS Studio and it shows that my desktop audio is coming through on it. I was not having these issues prior to using the Soundtrack by Twitch extension and have even turned it off in hopes it would fix my VOD audio. Please get back to me about this issue as I would like to get this figured out so I can get back to making highlights/clips after my streams.

Hey,
Audio on some of my videos is being muted for the duration of the video because i often play music in the BG while I draw, even for songs that aren't being claimed. Bummer! Can you unmute my audio in video producer, so that I can clip sections and hear my own voice? I will be able to appeal copyright claims on clips that contain short enough sections of a song to count as fair use,
and can clip AROUND claimed audio to avoid that stuff,

but because I can't hear my burps or my jokes I am not sure where to highlight or what's worth it. Also, can't download my stuff with audio, even for my own purposes, if I don't get it before DMC stuff goes through. It's all silent. Bummer again. :(

For the collections that I have made so far, I think it makes sense for the most recent videos to be at the beginning of the collection. Whenever I add a video however, that video is added at the end. It is very inconvenient and time consuming to move large amounts of videos to the top of the list by dragging them.
It would be nice if the default behavior could be changed to add videos to the beginning. Or perhaps an option to sort a collection chronologically ascending/descending... Or perhaps an option to move a video to the top or bottom without dragging it.

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.

I am posting this to "Bugs", but it also fits into the "Accessibility" category.

There is a bug where every page of a given streamer's channel automatically autoplays mostly unrelated videos at what is usually maximum volume. Random channels will play behind/ above the UI on the page for selecting previous VODs. It will autoplay, even if I previously had the tab open and already muted and paused the video at the top. It will autoplay if I am scrolled all the way to the bottom of a streamer's archive, so that I have to scroll all the way back up to do it again. It will autoplay even if I am browsing other tabs.

I have to imagine this is a bug, because it makes navigating and enjoying Twitch incredibly difficult, tiring, and painful for a disabled person like me.

These are videos which I do not want to watch and did not click on. These are videos originally recorded at wildly varying volumes. A universal, sitewide "autoplay suggestions" bug is not welcome or needed. It makes Twitch.tv worse, on what feels like every page.

So I would like to add two new divisions of the website.

Adding past broadcasts into a separate archive and revamping the video uploads functions into a third archive (clips, highlights and uploads). All now placed into separate discoverablity sections of the website.

So at the moment everything is jumbled on the platform and user channels.

From a channel perspective it would be as simple as adding these into separate tabs, eg the about and schedule tabs.
That way you can drive more static video content creators to the platform. A rejig and rebranding of the highlights and clips features could also do that trick.
I would imagine this would start as a second place to post YouTube gaming content like achievement guides, walk-through and game reviews.

The way this would impact the main search bar is that you can categorise what content they are looking for by the meta tags on the tabs and content types. Using a red dot for live streams, a clip board for past streams and a popcorn for videos.

I think that this would be very intuitive to most users.
