  1. I accidentally delete all my clips after selecting 2 and selecting delete clips. Maybe their can be an "Undo delete" button when notified that all clips have been deleted and or for like 24 hours after the delete.... Or maybe a deleted clips section where for 24 hours you can select which specific clips to restore.

  2. On the event of a Stream restarting or even needing to switch OBS settings, it’d be nice to be able to let Twitch know that “this stream is part of the previous one that ended (within a certain amount of time) ago.” I think twitch has an automatic version of this, but in the oddball case of it marking two back to back streams as separate, it’d be nice to merge them.
    Why? - During stream fails you don’t have to worry about starting a new “record” on your channel; Viewers of VODS won’t have to switch; Stream Schedule Page…

  3. It would be helpful for channels especially NON-Affiliates who want to rebroadcast either their past broadcast stream to bring in more people to the channel or even rebroadcast highlighted content. It would expand the viewership of people because sometimes you can have a rerun playing for a different time-zone than when you stream. so if you would allow NON-Affiliated channels to be allowed the rerun feature again

  4. When I go to watch a clip of a streamer that I follow, the next clip that loads usually has nothing to do with the content I just watched. Next clips should be based on similar streamers, tags, or size of communities rather than "whats trending"

  5. I love the new view numbers attached to the VODs! I would love a way to transfer these view numbers to the attached highlight. As it stands now, we lose all those stats when the VOD expires. Those of us that highlight entire streams without the breaks, etc to save for future VOD watchers (for example, an entire series run of Silent Hill) have a difficult time explaining Twitch analytics to sponsors or advertisers.

    If I submit analytics of EXAMPLE GAME with 1k Twitch views, 1k YouTube (uploaded 24 hours after it airs on Twitch for exclusivity), 1k podcast version,…

  6. We are a cognitive neuroscience lab studying how video games can promote improved reading and attentional ability. The goal of our research is to determine what qualities of video games are most beneficial to reading and attentional ability, so that game developers and clinicians can work together to design therapeutic games to help individuals with reading or attentional disorders, such as dyslexia.
    As part of this research we analyse gameplay videos of people playing various video games to determine which characteristics of video games are most beneficial to reading and attentional ability. Your platform is an excellent source of public…

  7. It would be nice if there was a way to customize what your stream will be called when you download the MP4 file, like a default format, for instance:

    [STREAM NAME]_[DATE] as an option

    You could also allow users to customize the date format to their liking. Me, personally, I like just doing 'MM-DD' because I can group them all by year later.

    It would save me a lot of time because with the way it is currently, the stream videos are by default named the random series of numbers and letters that designate the video's URL, so I have…

  8. I'd like for the export function in the dashboard to have improved visual feedback. Currently, there is none (I am using the Desktop version).

    And by that I mean:

    • A progress indicator next to a video that is being exported:
      Video is being processed
      Export in progress
      Export complete

    • There should also be a marker for which videos have already been marked for export:
      When exporting many videos, you have to check titles, thumbnails and/or video length to track which one you already prepared to export.

    That's it. I don't think there's more needed. I just want to be able…

  9. Why can we not see who made a clip right on the clips manager page? I don't want to have to click on each clip to find out which user made a clip.

  10. If I make a clip there is only one button to publish the clip.

    Suggestions:
    1. Abort button (I miss-click sometimes and need to delete an unwanted clip manually)
    2. Save for later (If someone don't want to publish the clip yet or make it private)

    Admin audit: added "(Cancel / Save for Later)" to title for ease of idea discoverability

  11. It would be nice to export at a certain time, maybe "export in 24 hours" or "export at ..." (and pick a date/time) so exports could be scheduled.

  12. In both the list of suggested streamers and the new "top screen half preview" thing you started doing the past week, the streamers that are showing reruns are shown as "Live" rather than "Rerun". Can the tag be changed to filter for both states?

  13. I want to watch multiple streamers and hear them without the gameplay sounds overlapping so that I have no idea what's happening in any of them. I just want to focus mainly on one, but still hear the other streamers talk.

  14. Some metadata available on twitch VODs are not exported : the game name, the stream language and the recording date.

    You can see youtube metadata fields in this screen (even though it's in french) : https://imgur.com/a/s145uLj

    The tags of the stream and the game name could be added to the video tags too.

  15. Playing streams at 60fps leads to lots of short buffers and regular intrerruptions. Having an option to play 60fps streams at 30fps regardless of whether the streamer only offers the source, should be a feature.

  17. Option to show “Latency to broadcaster” time in the corner Just like FPS counters in games. It’s a pain to always have to open Video Stats up to make sure I’m not 5sec behind. Also please fix the horrible lag every single time I go to @ someone or use emotes.

  18. YouTube lets you use the mouse wheel to change the player volume.

    I'd like Twitch to duplicate this functionality.

    Users should be able to hover over the player controls to show them then use the mouse wheel, when hovering over the volume slider to increase/decease volume

  20. Ban reruns.

    Seriously, this is the most dishonest thing I ever saw. People who stream 3, 4 hours a day and keeps restreaming reruns over and over for hours and hours. This is really dishonest to people who want to start streaming because reruns are not LIVE and they keep milking viewers and subs with no effort at all, which makes really really hard to grow as streamer if you have to compete with people with +2k subs restreams. Also, what is up with the "i'm sleeping" stuff? I hope twitch can really support people who want to "WORK" as…
