  1. It'd be nice if I could save a draft when making a highlight, so I could come back and finish it later, and not gamble the time I spent making it.

    I made a highlight, and when I published it, the result was a "processing error". Two hours wasted.

  2. 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.

  3. I have had VODs unpublished due to things like detecting copyrighted content in a game I was playing, which is fine on it's own. I can just republish the VOD, or allow the clip to be muted, and any subsequent VODs due to forgetting to switch VOD publishing back on can be republished. However, the chat does not re-associate with any clips made that stream even when the VOD is published again. I would appreciate having the chat available for these moments, especially when the stream JUST happened.
    It's also unfortunate that a VOD's expiry deletes the chat replay from…

  4. It would be nice to be able to choose the default max length of a clip when an Elgato Stream Deck is integrated. For example, I've opted to make clips myself using the "Create Clip" action on the Stream Deck. My gripe with this is that all the clips default to 30 secs. This is unfortunate when there are moments that are within the 90 sec. max, but fall outside of the 30 sec. default. So, on Twitch's end, either in the Stream Manager or in the Clips section in Settings, I'd like to see a "Change Default Max Length"…

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  8. This is the msg from the page i got after 5 minutes of refreshing and waiting for it to load with nothing open in the background not even twitch.
    "Well this is awkward… Something went wrong.

    Refresh the stream and try again, or tell us what happened."

  9. 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…

  10. I would love to be able to organize clips more effectively by date, keywords and/or tags. 

Currently you can organize by date but as a streamer with several years under their belt it’s hard to find. You have to click and scroll and scroll for only a year back let alone two or three. It would be great to be able to choose a year and a month and jump to those clips.

    This could be applicable for streamerversaries, birthdays, charities, or even specific holiday clips. 

It would also be helpful to be able to search by tags or other…

  11. Why does the "Show Full Video" button under a Twitch clip disappear so quickly? I'm watching a clip from less than 24 hrs ago and it doesn't link to the VOD anymore, even while the VOD is still published.

    For editors, the ability to jump to the VOD to the timestamp of the clip is an absolute gamechanger to save time. Especially with Twitch limiting clips to 60 secs, very often we actually need to cut a longer clip of the VOD.

    Between that and the fact that older clips only show a relative date, "A year ago" for ex.,…

  12. I usually create a marker while I'm live so I know where to look for the clippable moments and I can go back after the stream is over and create the clips.

    To see markers you need to use the highlighter, but you cannot create clips on the same page. You have to go to the actual VOD, go to the specific time and then click the "create a clip" button there.

    Can we get the "create a clip" button in the actual highlighter to prevent this nonsense please?

  13. We can create clips via an API call but are not able to name them in that initial API call.

    This seems like a worthwhile addition for those of us that use a !clip command for our chats so viewers don’t have to leave stream to make a clip but instead can just type “!clip” and grab a clip and continue watching uninterrupted.

    Allowing this would let viewers use a command such as “!clip <clipname> to create a clip that doesn’t simply end up as !clip <the entire stream title here>

    The ability to also adjust the time captured would…

  14. Occasionally, I will be watching a stream live and I need to leave before the end. I will then pull up the vod the next day but the length of the vod is somewhat of a spoiler. I am suggesting a feature that hides the total vod length behind a spoiler toggle. If the toggle is off the true time of the vod is displayed, otherwise it will obfuscate the true length and show the current play time as "latest" or 0:00 like a livestream.

  15. It should be possible for a streamer to break the vod/start a new vod without restarting the stream.

    We might need to delete the start of a stream but leave the rest of the video being recorded to

  16. For the collections that I have made so far, I think it makes sense for the most recent videos to be at the beginning of the collection. Whenever I add a video however, that video is added at the end. It is very inconvenient and time consuming to move large amounts of videos to the top of the list by dragging them.
    It would be nice if the default behavior could be changed to add videos to the beginning. Or perhaps an option to sort a collection chronologically ascending/descending... Or perhaps an option to move a video to the top…

  17. On a vertical monitor browser, theatre mode with chat on should fill the horizontal portion of the screen, shifting the chat downwards to fill the bottom right of the screen, similar to how YouTube's theatre mode fill the top portion of vertical monitor, shifting suggested videos on the right downwards. This will increase video screen estate to make it easier to view the videos.

  18. Right now, when you click the username of the person who created a clip in the "clips of your channel" overview, it links to that person's own clips page on their channel. These users often aren't streamers, and either way it's not particularly relevant to go to clips of another channel when reviewing your own channel's clips. Instead, I propose that clicking the user name should bring up the user card for that person, so you can confirm if they are following you or their previous chat history, which is much more relevant information if you need to check if…

  19. It is either unclear or not possible to remove a clip from the "Featured Clips" aside from deleting the clip. Allow users an easy way to un-feature clips.

  20. It'd be nice to disable auto-play on Front Page videos. Just had the experience where I went to twitch.tv and the sound blasted in my ears, lol. Not the biggest deal in the world, but it would be nice to have the option to disable auto-play.
