I have a 6 hour VOD - during that VOD I accidentally doxxed myself, showing private information. I unpublish the VOD so that people can't see it or clip me, but now I can't highlight the rest of my VOD without putting the video up and allowing a window where I could be doxxed over a short window. Therefore this is a security concern, and quite important.

Disappointed to see this request is already more than year old. Kind of surprised a multi-billion dollar company can't do something seemingly so simple.

Yes, I agree. Nobody is going to watch 6-8 hours of me playing a past game. They watch live and highlights. So I disabled automated publishing and was just going with highlights and clips. Mistake, first I couldn't add a marker via my stream deck any longer. Also, there is no highlight option for the previous stream. I haven't attempted to publish it then make a highlight of something interesting yet. So I am guessing just do it the old way then unpublish the long stream nobody will go back to watch.

Really need this to happen ASAP. I suspect in the mean time you can "publish, highlight, and then un-publish again. Silly tho.

This is urgent and absolutely necessary for me as a musician on Twitch.

WHY CAN'T WE HIGHLIGHT UNPUBLISHED VODs?

It's ridiculous to say musicians can perform cover songs but then immediately have to UNPUBLISH the VOD or risk DMCA strikes. This makes ZERO sense!

Easy fix!!! Simply allow us to highlight UNPUBLISHED VODs.

Thanks Twitch!
