How can we improve videos on Twitch?

Video Features: Clips

Categories

Change/Add Categories of/to Clips

It would be nice if you could edit or add a Category to existing Clips on Twitch.

Example No. 1: A lot of my clips on my channel had their category removed, after the game category "Deponia: The Complete Journey" got removed from Twitch. If it would be possible to edit categories on clips, these clips wont be categoryless anymore.

Example No. 2: Imagine a VOD, where someone plays two games. Lets call them "GAMEONE" and "GAMETWO" for orientation. If the VOD is live and a clip is created, it get the category of the game which is currently live. But if the VOD isnt live anymore, and a clip gets created, the category will ALWAYS be GAMEONE, regarding if the category has changed when the streamer was live. So there it would also make sense to change the game category on clips as well.

    This was posted over 3 years ago, I am surprised that this is still a problem. This seems like an easy fix that would really help us.

    Changing the game of a clip?

    I can not change the game category in clips???

    WHY?

    Is a terrible Bug 4 Clip Users :(

    IN VIDEOS I CAN CHANGE THE CATEGORY BUT NOT IN CLIPS CATEGORY FIX THIS BUG PLEASE!
  • StikFigure commented  ·   ·  Report

    One way is to edit the vod category, then clip, the category you chose will show up on the clip.

    still can't change the game on a clip when stream or vod of multiple games/categories. making sure only the broadcaster or editors being able to do so.

    Currently, clips taken live use the current game, but clips taken from VODs use the game from the start of the stream. Changing the game of the clip would be excellent.

    It seems to me that it always uses the first game in the stream, same as the VOD. I can understand why a VOD would do that but a clip should use the CURRENT game. Seems obvious to me!

    I would also like to see this applied - changing game-titles on clips for a variety streamer is very helpful. Would help others find their clips easier through search engines.

    We need to be able to change the game in the making of clips and of already made ones. Right now there is no way to change choice of game when making a clip. When making one it takes one game from the main video. So for me and all of the other streamers who play multiple games during one stream, it therefore will show the wrong game in the clips we make from our videos. It deceive our viewers, as well as severely decrease our chance of new people finding our clips.
