This feature seems to have just been released! I have wanted this for so long - in fact, I had just assumed it would be impossible for some technical reason. I am really happy that it's here - if I ever had to miss some stream (doing some chore or looking away to answer the door or whatever) I used to have to try to create clips and just catch the previous ~30s to try and get context.

Thank you Twitch.

We used to be able to go back to earlier parts of a stream years ago. Why downgrade instead of keeping such a useful feature? Sometimes I miss something and want to see what happened. Or the steamer wants to know what happened earlier.

This feature STILL being gone is why I prefer watching streams on YouTube since I can rewind there just fine, then click Live to catch up again.

Y'all are literally making your competitor more appealing.

when i watching any stream maybe i got distracted and i want to see what's happened in that moment i suggest to let us get back with keyboard arrows like we watch record

That would be awesome if there was a rewind feature.. PLEASE add one! Thank you so very much!

Yes, by ALL means!

Please add a rewind option. It would be most appreciated by everybody in our group.

Please add a rewind option. Thank you so much.

Please add a rewind option or record option so that if we miss and important update we can go back and watch it. Thank you

Please can you add a rewind option like on YouTube for live videos.

This is such a huge feature, the main channel player for watching live needs a huge overhaul, Especially with mid roll ads dominating the platform.
Viewers should have the control to rewind, or fast forward a stream (if an ad is happening, the stream could be paused for the viewer, so when they resume if the stream for the viewer is still paused, that way they can easily get caught up without missing any of the content and have the control to fast forward, watch at 2x speeds or whatever.
ads are very intrusive on twitch and for live broadcasting, you need to change the behaviour because existing ads format don't compliment the platform, giving people the ability to pause, and rewind, especially with forced ads will make it a better experience,

Congrats it came to twitch after 5 years and with 2 min rewind not only 5 sec Big W for your Idea

It is necessary to be possible to pause and continue from where you paused from and rewind in a live stream instead of that being only possible when watching the recording. It is really hard to watch a two hours live without having any need to pause it and it is really frustrating loosing a part of it. I know some other people who thinks the same. Thank you for your attention, I hope you consider it.

Can you PLEASE add a rewind feature in live videos like on YouYube and arrow keys to rewind/forward 5 seconds and also add thumbnail of the preview of the video along timeline so you can check for changes and rewatch something missed if the creator chooses to not record their live videos. They often broadcast live and I will miss a lot due to timezone differences. The creator has left YouTube for Twitch and viewers will find these tools useful.

There is the left/right arrow to to that, perhaps it's only 10 seconds

5 years later lol

yah i hate having to wait for VOD.....

I would love a skip 30 seconds forward/backwards button to the vod viewer. could be 15 seconds. It is often difficult to scrub back and forth when the vod length is very long.

Would be absolutely wonderful to be able to rewind during a livestream and not be forced to watch the live VOD to do so.

I think it would be pretty Pog if you could scrub back in the vod while watching the stream live, sort of like YouTube's current system.

I often cannot join a live stream when it starts, especially the long form ones that at times take a few hours to complete. I have to wait for the show to end before I watch the VOD. I would love the ability to start the stream over even while it’s live
