  1. 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…

  3. Instead of only Showing streams of made people on the start page, you could add a feature to show short clips of small streamers to give them a platform to be discovered, one small clip at a time

  4. 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…

  5. When i do a 12 hours stream, I often get the same questions.
    I would like to be able to send a video like you do with ads but with a custom video for a specific viewer.

  6. 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

  7. To avoid some leak and some troll, I want to selected a list of Twitch users who can see my live broadcast.
    So only those specials users can see it.
    Like a private room in zoom.

  8. I’m working on an SPA where one can watch VODs in sync, as if it was live.

    I noticed something weird on several videos: when started at a late position on Auto quality, the videos plays normally for a few seconds, then goes backward exactly when the quality is automatically changed.
    This does not happen by switching qualities manually.

    This is not easy to reproduce, as you need to be in Auto quality AND have the first selected quality to be low (e.g. 360p).

    Here are the steps I took with relative success to reproduce the issue:

    1. Go to this…

  10. I don't have the most stable internet so there are days where a stream will buffer quite a bit. This means that I am viewing the stream later than the rest of chat, and in order to catch back up I need to reload the entire page.

    I would like a button that refreshes just the stream in order to give the the most current stream.

    This would also help people who chose to pause the stream.

  11. It would be nice if the webplayer would adapt to streams other than 16: 9 aspect ratio. As I stream in a 21: 9 aspect ratio, I have black stripes that look bad and are unnecessary

  13. would be awesome if there was a sorting button in "Content" and "Collections"
    so we can sort the videos by date from most recent..., having to move them individually is a frustrating

  14. It would be useful to be able to jump between chapters while paused because I export past broadcast vods to a secondary YouTube channel, and being able to see the timestamp of the chapter marker means I can create chapters on the exported video.

    An alternative idea is to automatically include chapter info in the pre-generated description that fills when the description field is empty.
    A hypothetical example:
    0:00:00 PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds
    2:05:31 League of Legends
    4:11:00 Valheim

  15. 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

  16. Put a pause button and a close button on the tablet interface. the only way I can stop the stream is by minimising and swiping the video. Is annoying. Clicking a pause button or a close icon like I can on my PC would be very useful.

  17. Seems that the volume control no longer appears on offline streams.

    Please readd it

    Some people will wait for a streamer to go live, but have the volume "remembered" from a different streamer they watched last night and suddenly get blown out speakers

  18. When reviewing clips, the mature flag needs to persist so that content from streams that are configured as intended for Mature Audiences continue that flag appropriately into the Clip UI and APIs

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
