  1. Right now, the only ways of notifying your followers of an upload are through e-mail and channel feed. Not everyone wants to spam their followers e-mails (potentially causing them to drift away) and not everybody uses channel feed. There should be a proper dashboard that displays all the videos that have been recently uploaded from the broadcasters you follow, and only uploads. Currently, if you go to a channels videos, you have to specifically filter for "uploads," otherwise they're lost in the sea of 100's of VOD's and highlights. In this dashboard, there should also be discovery mechanisms. IE: Popular…

  2. Refresh button that refreshes the player so you don't have to refresh the whole page.

  3. The way it would work:
    There would be a button with the Clip/Options/Theater Etc. settings that would look like this http://i.imgur.com/zA5KDxa.png (quick 5am mockup). When you click the button, it will timestamp the VOD and take you to that moment when the VOD has been uploaded.
    Maybe there's a separate page on your profile where you can manage your "Watch Later" links; with a VOD link OR maybe you get a twitch message from a bot with a link to it?
    I'm not 100% sure if this has been submitted before or if there's a way to do this as…

  4. I like the idea you can have collections on your channel, but I noticed you cannot set a custom thumbnail for a collection. I wish I could do that just like with Uploads.

  5. Twitch, so far I'm loving the overall experience, and I think you guys do a tremendous job of listening to your community and incorporating said community feedback.

    That said, there is one aspect of Twitch that bothers me right now.

    I'm a gamer, and play a variety of games, namely first-person-shooters and open-world games. I like to organize all my game uploads into collections by game title. It would be nice if I could upload thumbnails featuring the game art for each collection.

    Can we please get thumbnail support for collections, allowing us to add some personality to our collections?…

  6. Would be gread if we could pull more than one file to the upload field and then all the videos will be sequential uploaded.

    Thanks for the feedback, we understand bulk upload needs and are looking into requirements. How many videos do you think you will upload at a time, and how often will you upload multiple videos?

  7. Hello.

    My Suggestion is that there should be Subfolder in our Highlights. Why? So I have a lot of Highlights from many different games and to find some Highlights is pretty annoying because of scrolling, so a perfect solution for that would be if we have Subfolders per game for every Highlight.

    So User can click on the "Hearthstone Folder" is they search for a good Hearthstone Match, or they click on the "Fifa Folder" for Best Goals and so on...

    I think that would make the Highlight Section more comfortable for everyone :)

    Thank you.

  8. I love new feature that suggests you clips and streams. I can watch funny moments of my favorite streamers if I didn't catch them live.

    However, I'd suggest you maybe rework the way that clips are chosen. Sometimes they are not anything special, seems like they are just random clips which is discouraging me from watching more of them.

    Maybe if we were given some way to vote on clip if we liked it or no would reduce the amount of low quality clips.

  9. atm the description in the description-box is cut in the half of the length of the box. The text should dynamically fill the description box in the length.

  10. Making highlight clips for downloading from Past Broadcasts, but not publish clips on your video feed. Can download different clips and but them together as one to upload video section. (with video editing software/site video editor not needed)

  11. Please add in RSS Feeds for easy syndication into blogs, twitter and other platforms.

    Create RSS Feeds for each of the following sections for channels:
    Past Broadcasts
    Highlight VODS
    Clips from your Channel
    Channel Feed Posts

    Another one that maybe very useful is the last 10 or 20 chat messages from your channel or vod playbacks.

  12. So instead of showing clips to the user that captured it why not list all the clips of a particular stream under its VOD. List them in terms of their popularity and chronologically. So people can skip duplicates.

    Maybe even add markers on the VOD player to depict where a lot of popular clips were captured. Kinda like the comment markers of soundcloud's player.

    Also having an API to get the list of all the clips of a a particular VOD with its view numbers, offset relative to the VOD etc. would be great.

  13. Audio only option for pc. I know that they have this option on the twitch app, and i would want to see this on pc as well. Sometimes 1080p 60fps and 720p 60fps streams (without quality options) can result in high temps for laptops. Not to mention that this benefits people who want to hear the stream in the background without having to load the video portion of the stream.

  14. I generally fall asleep watching somebody's past broadcasts and recently twitch added an auto-play feature that you cant turn off and for people who have limited bandwidth it makes it impossbile to do so anymore. So i was wondering if we could get an option to turn off auto-play.

  15. VODs and highlights are the only types of videos we can put into a playlist right now, why not include uploads?

  16. Right now 'Collections' are placed above all your recent streams, which is not ideal as recent streams are usually the first thing people look for.

    It would be great if we could have an automatic Recent Streams 'collection' that can be placed at the top of a streamer's Videos page (with all their other Collections beneath).

    It would look a lot neater!

    Cheers.

  17. When it is recorded they can specify a cut and when the stream appears in "Past Broadcasts" it will appear as 2 videos which switch at the point of the cut, with the game and title being that set at the start of each.

    So say I start a livestream I call "building a bridge" and the game is "minecraft" and later switch to "tf2 and the title "I'm gunna git you sukka", then specify a cut, 2 past broadcast VODS will be created.

    One with game minecraft called "building a bridge"
    The second with game TF2 called "I'm gunna…

  19. An option to turn off the "que" for another random stream when watching saved streams. It's annoying to be woken up in the middle of the night to a loud stream randomly playing after the one I started finished.
