  1. This may have an opt in feature or moderate clips you are tagged in before allowing the tag so as not to be flooded by clips you aren't in or don't want on your channel or to be tagged in.

  2. I want to be able to stream and password protect it, so I can share gaming strategies with my friends, and not have that leak out.

  3. Whenever someone wants to watch VODs they can't enjoy the duel screen experience properly of popout twitch chat. Theather mode forces you to have the chat next to the video AND on the same monitor. Please let us pop out the chat on VODs.

    Please give us VODboys some love.

  4. I get that these broadcasters are featured and lots of people are watching them, but if they are going to show up on the home page, the volume should be muted.

    Or, leave it paused, or remove it.

  5. 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.

  7. Self-explanatory. You are watching a stream and want to watch a funny moment or awesome play (or fail), and you can't clip it, or don't want to go to the trouble of going to the recording of the live stream while live.

  8. the new highlight system would be more like soundcloud system where you have the comments in the timeline
    you will be watching a twitch stream and you would have a "funny" button below the stream and maybe "highlight" button
    then you press it in real time while watching the system will register all the people clicking those buttons in real time and at the end of the stream you could load the vod and see the timeline with all the highlights showing across the video the more people who clicked the "funny/highlight" button at a certain point of the stream…

  9. Such a feature would make it easier for viewers to find what they are looking for content-wise, and for broadcasters if they need to find a pre-existing video or collection to edit or delete.

  11. When a channel starts a Vodcast followers shouldn't get an e-mail notification saying the channel is live. There should at least be an option to disable Vodcast notifications.

  12. Have an option in the auto host section to not allow vodcasts to be hosted. If you want to manually host, fine. I also feel that vodcasts should be in their own category.

  14. Let twitch auto change game name (and maybe title) based on what it was set on stream or info entered for uploaded videos. Vodcasts with 10th of games in one section creates mess

  15. 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?…

  16. Search VoD (Video Tab / Video On Demand) by:
    - Stream Title/Video Title
    - Game
    - Date Range of upload/ airtime
    - A view of titles as a list without thumbnails but columns for (title, game , date and such attributes of a video)
    i watch two RPG channels which have weekly shows and VOS's of 80+ Hours of content and i am trying to catch up on most episodes. Its hard to search them and scrolling thought the video tab takes forever as it tries to load thumbnails for each VoD, If i go too far in the VOD…

  17. Should be able to save clips other users have saved to your own My Clips page, so you can make a collection of your favorite clips even if you yourself didn't make them.

  18. Since today (April 20th, 2017) or maybe even a few days (haven't used the feature since Monday), whenever I want to upload a thumbnail to one of my uploaded videos, I no preview appears in the thumbnail preview windows. If I want to save the video, I get an error message saying "Missing required parameter crop_x". I didn't check if this also applies to highlights/past broadcasts, but at least on the uploaded videos this error appears no matter how often I try.

  19. 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.

  20. The ability to have closed captioned and subtitled videos. Twitch wouldn't need to have a closed captioning system, just the option to upload a CC file (i.e SubRip, SubViewer, RealText, etc) and preferably to be able to maintain the more advanced files' caption positioning.
