Many streamers already use two separate audio tracks for their streams. I wish there was an option to switch between the VOD audio (usually without music due to copyright issues) and the live audio. Sometimes, I want to listen to my own music while still hearing the stream in the background.

There's definitely a cool idea here that might be more possible with the enhanced broadcasting options - I somehow doubt that's where it goes... but I do like this idea a lot!

Well you already send multiple tracks to Twitch. At least you can choose a special track for "vods". Now just need that they also send this as two tracks to the viewer and the viewer can choose which track they want to hear. If they choose track two on my stream they hear the same as what they would hear in the vods (and that's the track with no music.. but the streamer could also choose to at gameplay or something). And track 1 has all the audio.

this would be nice!!!

I've been looking for something which would separate my microphone from music when I am DJ'ing so people have the option to hear the mic or not.

Streamers struggle so hard with balancing multiple audio streams to a single audio stream and that balance never works for everyone. Sometimes you just want to hear them, sometimes you want to hear the game better. There is no good solution when everything is jammed into a single stream. This is an accessibility feature that allows the end user to make the choice on what they want to focus on.

This is a good idea, Twitch already has the ability to send two channels, one which doesn't go to the VOD (which is usually a music channel) but being able to mute that channel when the stream is live is a great idea. It would need streamers to use that channel for music always. If Twitch then added a flag that then allowed people to choose IF they music channel to VODs or not, then those who want to keep the music in VODs, but allow folks to mute it if they want.

That would be lovely, sometimes music just gets in the way, but you are not gonna ask the streamer to turn it off, this seems like a perfect inbetween

Considering streamers do this already so music doesn't show up on vods/youtube exports and such, this would be awesome. I tune out of twitch all the time strictly because of music choice.

Was gonna suggest the same thing! It's not so much about being able to mute music really, but rather separating mic and main audio.

I frequently listen to streams while playing a game of my own, and have to turn down one or the other, as it introduces a lot of noise. Being able to listed only to broadcaster without their game audio would be fantastic.

this would be a game changer

Would be great if my friends could watch my stream without hearing themselves. Ya know?!

I spent 20 min figuring out this page existed to post this idea and its already here. This would be a massive step up for the platform imo

This is necessary.

+1 would love to see this option

I am testing with one video channel in spanish (my language) and other video channel (another account) with english real time translation with my voice in RVC. But if this idea were real i could stream my channel with two audio. One in spanish and another in English. it would be great

+1

+1 :-) that would enable really nice new features like separate channel for talking, music, tts, different languages, and many many more :-)

this would be incredible

When are we going to see this great feature?
or is twitch only focused on adding useless features and ads?

I know twitch lacks developers with skills, but this feature is really easy to implement.
