    To upload a video, click the Upload button on the right above the video list in the Video Producer and select the file you’d like to upload from the window that opens. For access to uploads, you must be an Affiliate or Partner.

  2. Monetization for Partners and Non Twitch Partners on Videos.
    So that also the smaller Channels have a small Revenue Stream from their videos.

  3. Isn't it just great if you could keep a video forever as some sort of channel "trademark" or "ads" which could use to attract more viewers, followers or subscribers? Just a short video that you can grab viewers' heart which will appear on the channel page when not broadcasting or hosting.

    Hey there, if you're having issues uploading videos to Twitch, please reach out to our support team can troubleshoot with you! Thank you so much.

  5. With Uploads, streamers can keep their VOD archive forever. It is finally possible to see a record of every game an individual streamer has played in their career by reviewing their Uploads page. It would be cool to add a "Games Browser" for each channel that mirrors the existing site-wide Games Browser. You would get a searchable view of all of the games represented in a channel's Uploads sorted by total # Views for each game. Streamers could use this to link to archives for specific games they've played on Twitch the way we can currently link to specific games…

    Depending on which channel you're trying to create a clip for, if the owner has enabled the sub-only archives setting, you won't be able to clip the VOD. However, if you are trying to clip from your own channel and have the before-mentioned setting on, an update was rolled out allowing channel owners & editors to clip VODs when sub-only archives. The update might fix the error, provided you were trying to clip from your own channel. Please note this error will continue to show, if you are trying to clip another channel's sub-only VODs (provided you are not an editor).

  7. When the stream windows is too small horizontally to show the chat on the right side, it would be better if instead it was placed (with an option to close it) below the video so that long vertical windows can still have video and chat.

    For example, this would allow to have the stream and chat when having two windows (one of them chat) side by side. Particularly useful when using a single monitor.

    Windows that are small enough will cause the chat to shift below the player (rather than to the right of the player) when in theater mode.

  8. Allow users that Share Clips from streams on Social Media to Earn bits.This will entice others to use the clips feature, as well as creative more of a flood of "Twitch is a thing" advertising that we are lacking. Cheering is an amazing interactive feature that so many people participate in, lets give more people more ways to earn bits.
    -This would be a way to earn bits that is beneficial to the platform and streamers (not just Our Advertising Partners)
    -Would create a community participation effect. Someone can help the streamer in a way that is free to do…

  9. It seems as though twitch videos no longer show or have an expandable description beneath the video player or I cannot find it after searching everywhere on the page. There needs to be a spot where the video description can be read by the viewer as the video may reference written information that the viewer can find in the description and is an important spot for providing relevant links.

    Hey there,

    The description should show below the VOD, provided it was actually given by the channel. Thank you.

  10. pls fix the twitch clip missing error (it's when you publish a clip and when you get a link that seems like every other clip but than redirects you to https://clips.twitch.tv/clips/clip_missing )

    Hey,

    This typically occurs when clips are made from content which Audible Magic has flagged for using music owned or controlled by one of its clients. This includes in-game and ambient music.

  11. i doubt anyone wants to sit there, download the entire vod, chop their hhd storage in half, and wait for 3 hours to upload their vod to youtube. you guys need let us keep our vods up longer or at least archive them for later use.

  12. On clips, the list gets long with content we enjoy from our channel to others. It would be really nice to delete the ones that mean nothing anymore. It would help us keep it clean and organized.

    Talking about organizaion, adding categories that you can named yourself would be amazing. Whether you want to keep a collection of your own or another specifc streamer. This would be a good way to bring all the videos that you want to keep together.

  14. I tend to have multiple tabs of twitch open, most of which are paused. Too often when I am doing something else, audio is suddenly playing in an unknown tab because somebody was hosted and their stream autoplays.

    I've made the conscious decision to pause the stream, and I want it to stay paused, especially if I'm in another tab. It doesn't encourage me to watch the hosted stream, it encourages me to keep twitch completely closed.

    Closing this out, as hosting has been deprecated. If you have feedback on raid functionalities however, please feel free to leave your feedback here.

  15. When watching VODs it would be awesome to add some quick rewind/forward controls- eg rewind 10 secs/1min/5min/10min/30min/1hr

    With long VODs of many hours, trying to rewind a small amount with mouse and the playbar is difficult- some quick back/fwd preset time buttons would be much more useful

    Hey there,

    Currently, you can hit the left and right arrow buttons on your keyboard to either go back/forwards by 10 seconds. Hope this helps.

  16. Twitch recently changed the format for clips and video manager and we noticed that the "Created by" column has been removed from the clips manager... Please bring it back. It was a very useful tool for us because we have so many people in our group and the "created by" column helped us know who was clipping what broadcasts. It's gone now and we want it back.

    Hello,

    The Clips Manager has a column called "Clipped by" which should enabled you to see who created the clip. Thanks!

    Hey,

    Currently, when you change the category during a stream, a chapter is created to denote different content in the stream which can be chosen by viewers when watching a VOD. If you have further feedback, please let us know.

  18. On the old UI users could see the exact date peoples clips were made. This was removed for no reason, please bring it back. It was great for watching archived streams after seeing funny clips but I can't do that without the exact date.

    Hello,

    If the VOD is still available, a "Watch Full Video" button will be available below the right side of the clip player which will take you to the portion of the stream where the clip was taken. Thanks.

  19. Adding a parameter to let us request clips by views (by default) or by creation time. (And so we can easily get the last clip and also classify clips by date)

  20. Some streamers have so much flooding/spam/trash in their chat that it slows down the browser and computer to the point it freezes.
