multiple audio channels
Streams should be able to encode audio into separate audio channels, so that users can independently mix/select audio for each channel. For example, one channel could be music, another could be the streamer's voice, and another for the game/application's audio. In this example, if you were already playing music that you wanted to listen to, you could disable the streamer's music. Or, if you have trouble hearing the streamer's voice, you could turn that up. Or, if you don't want to hear the streamer or music, you could mute them and just listen to the game. I think it would also have a secondary benefit that you could independently remove audio channels in cases of copyright violation, so that the rest of the vod is still good even if there happened to be flagged music on one channel.

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

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

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.

I was just about to write about this topic and I was happy to see this article. I support it 100%.

Even the ability to switch between listening to the normal and VOD track on a live stream would be amazing since I sometimes want to listen to my own music but it conflicts with the music streamers are listening to.

Just got the 100% same thought, i totally agree this is must have feature. I'm ear sensitive person, can hear inproper microphone configuration (overload, clipping) very well and suffer from that - so many streamers fail to configure their microphones or just have cheap ones that are sound just bad. Or use obscene language too much.
Or stream notifications are too loud and irritating.
Or sometimes i just dont want to listen to streamer voice and want to chill and listen to the game only.I really want this feature!

Would be super helpful. Also opus support would allow to cut the bitrate more than in half, which could be helpful for having 2-3 audio streams within the same bandwidth

Add multiple/seperate audio channels so user can isolate voice/music/other audio channels on their end in the browser, OBS already has multiple audio channel capabilities and streamers could do this to listen to ONLY the microphone/voice if they like and control levels on their end when streamers audio isn't quite right.

Id like to see an option for a second audio channel per streamer, intended to be adjusted by users in the twitch interface. i.e. Ch1: voice, Ch2: music or background fx. Or Ch1: Host Ch2: Guest or cohost. Endusers could adjust the secondary channel individually. Volume (Mute/Halfmute), Balance, and a simple 3 band EQ on each channel available to the user. Allows users to filter alt audio and just listen to streamer sans music or just lower it, it would personally customize the experience for more immersion (like sitting closer to the cohost or the host for a better view)

2 audio sources that the streamers can setup and viewers can control separately. for instance the streamer can have one audio source just for their voice and nother for their music. This would allow viewers to increase or decrease just a streamers voice, or just a streamers music

🧎 some streamers play the same 24/7 copyright free music every stream
🧎 some streamers play their bad spotify playlist on every stream
🧎 some streamers play their music too loud so I can't hear themneed multiple volume sliders, even if it's hidden behind an advanced control

Hey, it would be great if you guys could add a new feature that could turn down the game volume on a stream. This is good for playing games that requires sound while watching a stream at the same time. This is Just an
suggestion.Thank you

Save the vod, for those who transmit via cell phone without infringing copyright. Only music played on Spotify or whatever music app used. Separate audio - music from vod
