How can we improve videos on Twitch?

Video Features: Featured Clips

Categories

[Feature] Featured Clips

Featured Clips help you show up on new and existing Twitch discovery spaces in ways that best represent you and your community. We recently shared our plans (https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2023/07/08/everything-we-announced-at-twitchcon-paris/) to launch the upcoming mobile Discovery Feed. As we work towards building new onsite discovery tools like the Discovery Feed, we want to give you more control over which Clips are shown to viewers on Twitch with Featured Clips.

We're already working on improvements to Featured Clips, including:
- Allowing you to opt-in to automatically featuring Clips created by you or your editors.
- Giving Featured Clips access to Mods and other trusted members of your community.
- Adding the ability to feature Clips from the Clip creation flow, the Clip editor, and on mobile.
- Adding more Featured Clips analytics.

We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to improve this feature.

    Terrible feature. Don’t want it on my screen at all, least of all at the top when I launch the app. Remove it completely or let us disable it.

    remove the Recently Featured Clips. I did not ask for it. I do not want it.
  • Cinnerennic commented  ·   ·  Report

    Regarding the new “Recently Featured Clips” section, I’m not sure I can say anything that hasn’t already been said many times, so I’ll just list my biggest personal issues with the feature to hopefully get more eyes on this addition:

    1) Spoilers. I purposely avoid clips in general when new games I’m interested in come out to avoid getting spoiled, but now they’re unavoidable. In the week or so this feature has been implemented, I’ve already encountered one (thankfully) minor spoiler.

    2) The live channels I follow now start halfway down my screen on the “Following” tab.

    3) The same clips have been at the top for multiple days even though I purposely tried watching them hoping they’d disappear.

    4) I’m sure it was implemented for a business/monetary reason, so completely removing the section (or adding an option to do so in settings) is probably out of the question, but I believe most of us would be happy with moving it under our live channels at the very least.

    Ultimately, this change has made me less likely to open the Twitch app (and see the ads 😉) and start exploring and spending more time in competing live-streaming services.

    Way too big and misplaced and stays there too long.
    Also all the clips have been irrelevant to me.

  • glassedplanet commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a terrible, ugly, unintuitive, and unwanted feature. Move it to the bottom if you’re going to keep it. The only thing I should have at the top of my page is the live channels of who I am following. I’ll just continue to unfollow the streamers who’s featured clips come up to get rid of this.

    Please remove the Recently Featured Clips section on mobile. It takes up an insane amount of screen real estate, and at the very top of the page. At least give us the option to disable it. The only thing I can think to do is start unfollowing the channels whose clips are appearing, which I obviously don’t want to do. This has got to be the worst update to the app I’ve seen in the 5+ years I’ve been using it. Who thought this was a good idea??

  • r_variable commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is an awful feature and I have decided to start unfollowing channels anytime they show up in featured clips. I rather look them up, IfI want to check when they're live than follow them and have to see the ugly clip.
  • Imdur commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every time I use the android app, there's a massive clip that blocks me from what I'm actually trying to get to, i.e. the people I follow and/or games categories I'm interested in.
    There needs to be an option where we can choose to remove this or move it further down the front page of the app. It's infuriating when I open the amp and instead of seeing who's on, I'm confronted by a random clip of a streamer I follow. It's a massive turn-off from the featured content placed there. Let us change this!
  • straspberry commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the worst change I have seen in my ~7 years on Twitch. I‘ve unfollowed every single streamer that uses featured clips in the hopes that I can refollow them once Twitch fixes this atrocity, but it‘s been a month since the first clip showed up for me. Over a dozen streamers gone and no end in sight.

    Why did you think that it‘s a good idea to put random old content over livestreams on mobile apps? The very purpose of your website is to provide access to live content. So why don’t you stop obstructing that very thing you‘re known for?

    There is no awesome „discoverability bonus“ in forcing people to see someone’s clips if they’re already following that person. It just makes those streamers look greedy.

    Also an honorable mention to all the spoilers for VOD viewers, right at the top of their apps.

    Why is this not a dedicated tab for people who want to browse clips? That would just solve the whole issue. But hey - after a month of waiting for a fix I‘m starting to believe Twitch actually enjoys making life horrible for its viewers.

    Recently featured clips should be a setting we can toggle off.
  • Duggss commented  ·   ·  Report

    I rarely unfollow channels, but have unfollowed 100% of the channels that feature clips. The UI/UX are so incredibly bad and annoying.
  • LBoogieBaby commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a way to remove featured clips, on my mobile phone, from djs/streamers that I follow? I don't like them being at the top of my page, above my "followed channels". I actually unfollowed some streamers that clip all the time and idk how to remove their clips.
  • melonax commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like the idea of featured clips on my page, but if I want to browse someone's clips it's a bit bothersome that I have to turn off featured clips before I can see any others. Maybe just show the featured ones at the top of the clips page (sideways scrollbar), and the regular view below it. Especially annoying on channels that don't even have any featured clips (but plenty of regular ones)
  • horsedrawnportrait commented  ·   ·  Report

    End this feature, thank you. As stated by others

    - way too big
    - intrusive. Always right at the top.
    - you are screwing your streamers with terrible contracts that just seem to get worse. That's unrelated to this feature but always worth mentioning
  • AngelWingsRNG commented  ·   ·  Report

    I cannot unfeature clips once I've made it featured. Please advise.
  • Goody_Phil commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hilariously bad how every time I open my mobile app, I'm smacked in the face with a topless BG3 female character. Can't turn the clip off so I have to worry about who's behind me/where I am every time I open Twitch on my phone.
  • TheMushima commented  ·   ·  Report

    Who's decision was it to add this UI element to twitch, really? This is an awful addition to the app.

    The "Recently Featured Clips" UI element takes up half the screen as soon as you open the app and pushes all the live content down to the bottom. I use Twitch to watch live streams, as do others. Yet some exec though it was smart to prioritize old content over live content.I will literally never use this niche feature.

    What's even more frustrating is you introduced a huge UI change like this with no option to toggle it off?
  • thegoodjuicer commented  ·   ·  Report

    The absolute worst feature from twitch. Annoying big thing at the top of my app. I had to resort to unfollow streamers who had those clips
  • xTorvusx commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give us an option to remove this, it is too large and why is it on top of everything on my page, if you do decide to fix the issues don't just make it smaller actually give us a way for us to say we dont want this on our front page
