  1. I am trying to download my VOD stream which is a 1-hour long stream but I download it and the file is slowed and stretched to 5 hours and it doesn't show the video. I cannot use the video for iMovie/movie maker and saving the file takes 20+ hours. This has never happened, my downloads should not be stretched and slowed. Please fix.

  2. For years we (TheNORMIChannel) were providing educational, PSAs, and interviews about the Indoor Air Quality Industry as reruns because of work schedules of our audience. Now that you removed the rerun option, the information we provide is being limited by Twitch. I think since Covid you would agree Breathing is an important item. In any case, I fail to see how you put the importance of young girls talking while barely wearing anything over the thousands that watch our reruns about their environments and the technologies that can improve them. I understand that you run a business, but shame on…

  3. I believe tournament broadcasting could be largely improved with a separate pop-up video source.

    For Example:
    -CS:GO Major stream, with a caster cam that can be moved around the video screen and placed where fit by the viewer, with the ability to make it larger or smaller.
    -This could also benefit streamers with face-cam.
    -Fan cams could be an optional features.

    I think this would be a great exclusive not seen anywhere else, and would promote increased E-Sport production quality.

  4. Problem: When you are watching the VOD and your internet gets disconnected (error #2000) the VOD player gives you a button "Click here to reload the player"
    (note: the player has to finish playing the buffered content before throwing the error)

    Expected result: after establishing internet connection user is pressing the button and continues watching the VOD in the same spot (or at least close to) where he lost connection
    Actual result: after establishing internet connection user is pressing the button and VOD starts playing from the beginning.

    This gets extremely annoying when you watch 10 hour VODs and have…

  6. This has probably been thought about already, but why wouldn't you give the end-user the opportunity to decide the layout of the stream? What I mean is providing the end-user with similar options to the content creator. Meaning the user can decide where to place the face cam overlay, or even turn it off. Potentially even enable a second playback browser tab. That way, users have the potential to enjoy the gameplay without having part of the game covered with the content creators face. Or if they want, they can have the creators second camera on full screen in a…

  7. It would be nice to be able to choose the default max length of a clip when an Elgato Stream Deck is integrated. For example, I've opted to make clips myself using the "Create Clip" action on the Stream Deck. My gripe with this is that all the clips default to 30 secs. This is unfortunate when there are moments that are within the 90 sec. max, but fall outside of the 30 sec. default. So, on Twitch's end, either in the Stream Manager or in the Clips section in Settings, I'd like to see a "Change Default Max Length"…

  9. I'd like to know how long a stream has been going when in my following or browsing, etc. It would just make it a lot easier to pick who to watch if I knew if they were ending soon.

  12. Imagine being able to double click on the screen and be able to go 10 seconds back or forward, we're not living in 2012 after all, be like pornhub, youtube think of your customers. Now I double click and chat comes up, I scroll to the side and chat comes up it's not optimal and it's annoying hope you understand what I mean <3 ;)

  13. Currently when exporting a VOD to YouTube you can export it as a single file or split it into 15 minute segments if you YouTube isn't verified. What I am requesting is that an additional option is added to split the export into 12 hour segments since this is the maximum that YouTube will accept.

    The reason I would like this is that any of my streams that are over 12 hours are unable to be added to my YouTube unless I split them into 15 minute segments but this just doesn't make any sense.

    I'm sure I'm not the…

  14. As an avid clipper in the community I'm in (I've made over 400 clips this year alone), there are a couple of absolutely infuriating bugs I've been dealing with for several years now.

    The first issue is a bug where the first 60 seconds of video of the 90 seconds of captured, editable clip footage will completely disappear, and you'll be stuck with only the most recent 30 seconds. This presents itself in a strange way on the clip page, though. The in-video scroller counts the most recent 30 seconds of video captured as the first 30 seconds of the…

  15. When making clips of streamers, could you add the chat to the clip as well? Feel like watching clips with chat running on the side adds a lot. Overlapping chat to the video might help.

    Also when watching streamers live, any way to add an option to overlap chat over the stream or have it the way it is now? I like to watch on theatre mode, and chat takes up a lot of real estate on my screen. Some streamers have chat in OBS so i get rid of chat.

  16. When I click on a clip, it opens, immediately starts playing, but starts muted. This really makes no sense; I always end up having to restart the clip after unmuting it to catch the start of the clip and it's annoying. I either want it to autoplay unmuted, or to not autoplay at all (but still not default to mute). Best solution would be to give users the options "what do you want to happen when you open a clip? Start muted? Y/N Autoplay? Y/N"

    I would say "no/no" to those choices but currently the default is "yes/yes". Would be…

  17. When a streamer outputs their broadcast in 21:9 aspect ratio (3440x1440, 2560x1080etc) the thumbnail for the stream is stretched vertically to compensate for the thumbnail's forced 16:9 scale.

    A bug fix that automatically adds black bars horizontally across the top & bottom on thumbnails the same as twitch automatically does for the stream itself would be beneficial and not cause viewers to be mislead on someone's overall channel quality.

    Here's an example of the issue and a fix:

  18. In this most recent age the unpublish feature is really helpful but in order to clip, highlight and even watch the VOD you have to publish it first. Which defeats the purpose

  19. We need a way to rerun our VODs. I don't want to use my encoders from my streaming software in order to play reruns. That becomes more and more complicated, especially to small and newer streamers on the platform.

  20. When reading chat messages on VODs, scrubbing through the vod shows only the chat messages after the point where you scrub to. Would love to have previous chat messages stay while scrubbing through the vod the same way that feature works on desktop.
