  1. I think something should be done with reruns, like the feature to add overlays on top of it for follows or a chat box, and maybe some game overlay or something to make it not just feel like a VOD with a chatbox

  2. The dashboard tells me that markdown is supported for a VOD, and when I type in a plain text URL into the description the editor silently converts it to hyperlink markdown when I save the changes to the description.

    When I view the video, the description contains raw markdown, and markdown such as double-space for line breaks is ignored, as well as the automatically-generated URL markdown. It looks REALLY bad to users, and markdown definitely is NOT supported despite what the portal is telling me.

    Since markdown does not appear to be supported, you should also not force plaintext URLs…

  3. Typing a single quote [ ' ] into the video description field for a highlight gets transformed into the HTML entity ' - which wouldn't be a problem if that was what got spat out on the VOD page, but it isn't, we see the raw escaped entity in the description.

    This is a pretty big problem for languages that use that mark as punctuation, like, y'know, English. The most commonly spoken language in the world and also the language we are writing in right now.

    You can see the issue on this VOD page: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131783457

    Please fix asap! Cheers

  4. Every streamer runs into a few issues with trolls. Half of the time with trolls or DMCA content, users have to completely delete VODs. Well, unlike Twitch but on other platforms you're able to edit "VODs" a lot more with a lot more detail. That included to making parts quiet, to louder. Replacing or adding music to the vod, or even bluring or blocking unsafe content for the vod and even removing DMCA content from the vod without removing your whole vod to follow through with DMCA.

    These systems have been around for ages and I'm completely flabbergasted about twitch's…

  5. Adding a Character Limit Cap Requirement on the Title. Whenever I export my VODs to YouTube with the Twitch's 160 Character Limit title, when they go to YouTube they are cut off due to the 100 character limit. Can we put something in place that stops the user from exporting until they shorten the title?

  6. I noticed that the clips are deleted by the system due to the presence of copyrighted music. In the recording of the broadcast, these places have a mute. It would be nice to turn off the sound in them instead of deleting clips.

  7. While im working I like to watch my favorite streamers but I'm having a hard time because I have to alt-tab every time and sometimes I missed good moments on the stream.

  8. because sometimes i wasn't done highlighting a VOD that is about to expire but saying I have 1 day left before it's gone which is fine, but the next day it so happens to have expired. Some of the VODs have 0 days left but then it outlasts the other VODs that were supposed to be gone. So not sure if this is a thing but I do hope there would be a proper implementation of a better countdown timer for expiring VODs

  9. Meine Idee
    Das Fenster im Twitch auf 9-12 kleine Fenster teilen, damit man nicht immer mit den Tabs hin und her switchen muss, dass ist ziemlich mühsam. Ich persönlich schaue mehrere Streamer gleichzeitig.
    Jedes kleine Fenster wäre live aber nur eines hat Ton, der mit einem Mausklick (Cursor auf dem Fenster) aktiviert oder deaktiviert wird. Will man den Twitch, falls der in diesem Moment einem gefällt im großen Fenster sehen, so klickt man mit der Maus zweimal auf das Fenster und es vergrößert sich mit Bild und Ton.
    Mir ist aufgefallen das Streamer die zB. während des Spielens im GTA…

  10. Watching Twitch streams is killing my mobile plan. I would love the option to download streams/videos to my phone. not just clips.

  11. Sick idea for you Twitch. Could we get a "90 Day" selection when looking at clips. I would love to be able to see recent clips from the past few months instead of having to scroll through "All" of my clips from years back to find recent ones.

    This would help creators find their recent content to use other places like in Discord, Twitter, or even making a video for a recruitment challenge a big team is having. Just a thought and I think a lot of creators including myself would love having this option to help them.

  12. Create a playback rate shortcut, like Youtube.

    For example, when you go to a Youtube video and press: "SHIFT + >", the playback rate increases, and when you press: "SHIFT + <", the playback rate decreases.

  13. After a recent Twitch website update it appears certain links to collections are now broken. Some time back all these worked but now only some do.

    Here are some concrete examples:

    Broken:
    https://www.twitch.tv/collection/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ
    https://www.twitch.tv/collections/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ?filter=collections

    These are the links used on the Twitch Dashboard and the /video page meaning internal links are also broken.

    Works:
    https://www.twitch.tv/videos/818316804?collection=Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ
    https://www.twitch.tv/cragsand/collection/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ

  15. Allow for playback speed of .25x-2x or higher speed for past streams similar to YouTube videos. This will help viewers who are short on time and watch more videos in less time.

  16. When watching a highlight collection, choosing "play all" always starts the first video in the collection. After you've started watching a collection, there is no good way to quickly resume watching both the playlist and the video you were watching.

    Clicking "play all" should immediately start the video you were last watching AND put the player into "collection mode."

  17. I am Autor of clip.
    How can I know, why my clip is deleted?
    I Editor of channel. I can't see, who deleted my clip and why.
    Streamer can't help me too.

    How can I check what happened with my clip?

    Please, create an information system for this (for autors, for editors, for streamers).

    • If clip is deleted by the Editor of channel — Write this "Removed by Editor" (and not required: editor comment).
    • If clip is deleted by the Twitch (Administrator/Moderator/Editor/or another role) — Write this with a reason.
    • If clip is deleted by the autonomic system — Write…

  18. Notes on twitch vods:
    Idea born from the need to be able to express my opinion even not being present in the live streamers (mainly I watch VODs).
    A simple and functional idea which would add a button with which it will be possible to leave a note and let the streamer (and the rest of the viewers) know what you think about a certain topic.
    I think it's a very useful feature, which could bring new content for streamers and a lot more freedom for VOD viewers like me.
    I hope you like this idea too, thank you very…

  19. Add a button to the interface labelled "What have I missed?" that when clicked will show a couple of minutes of random video from the current (or previous) live stream so that people who are late to the broadcast can catch up on what has happened before they got into the stream.

  20. Ok so sometimes people miss their favorite streamers and when they want to watch it later they go to his video and start to look for the part where he plays Valorant for example or something so you can introduce a feature in the video progress bar titles like when he is just chatting then he switched to another you can see it in the video progress bar as sections ( mods can also edit it if they want or they make it changes with the titles ' playing GTA gives section in the progress bar then when it changes,…
