PLEASE allow us to TURN OFF the stupid 'featured clips' "shelf" in the mobile app Following page. Or at least let us move it out of the way.

1) I want my live channels to be on top and to be the first things available.
2) I'M ALREADY FOLLOWING the channels that are featured, I KNOW WHO THEY ARE!

If the purpose is to introduce me to new channels, this FAILS completely. Having this feature somewhere on the (shocking thought) "DISCOVER" page is fine, that is FOR discovery. I already have recommended channels wasting space on my "Following" page which is bad enough, but at least they're below my live channels so they don't get in the way, having these clips at the top is very annoying. Use this to replace the recommended channels, below the live channels, or keep it off my Following page. PLEASE.

Show all clips if none are featured by streamer. I do like the featured clip option, but if the streamer doesn't have time to go through them all and pick a clip to feature, nothing is shown on the streamers page unless the "show all clips" toggle is selected. This I think has actually hurt the clips because it hides them unnecessarily.

Instead, why you need to do is show all clips, but allow the streamer to "pin" or favourite clips and those clips can be shown as a scroll-able row at the top.

Otherwise clips are not going to get seen as much, and the top clips that are "viewed" by users are not necessarily going to be shown.

Bottom line… we should not have a toggle for "Featured Clips" it is hurting the clipping feature. All clips should be shown on the same page and viewers can see which clips are a streamer's favourites at the top and all the others below them. If there is no featured clips everything just shows as it did before the feature.

As a user, I should not be seeing these messages:
"No Featured Clips found
You can browse through all Featured Clips from this channel instead"

then clicking "Show all featured clips" and then seeing:

"No Featured Clips have been selected by this creator
Check out all the clips from this channel instead by turning off the "Featured Clips Only" toggle above"

and then finally clicking the toggle button or clicking on the "Show all Clips" button.

That is TOO much to expect a user to do.
Right now the way it is implemented "Featured clips" will kill clips.

Or just like others have said, put Featured clips into it's own category in addition to the 24 hr, 7 d, etc. categories can call them Streamer's favourites. In the other categories, you can see a star or heart applied to a clip thumbnail that is a favourite and list them first above the others clips. And again, if there are no featured clips… the category just doesn't show up until the streamer does it. But making viewers go through all these steps to find non-featured clips (especially when there are none) is just bad User Experience.

I would like to have the toggle for Featured Clips to be persistent between page loads. At present, the toggle resets whenever you load a new page. In practice this means that the clips disappear whenever you click on one to watch until you switch the toggle off again.

Ideas:
1. Seconding the idea of adding the ability to sort by created date!
2. Also the seconding the idea of allowing the channel to choose whether it displays featured clips only or not by default.
3. In the clips manager, would be nice to have the ability to Shift + Click (like in gmail, explorer, etc.) so that you can bulk select ranges of clips. Currently you have to click one by one :c There is a select all box at the top, but it's not helpful if e.g. you want to select specific ranges of clips 1-8, 15-20, etc.
4. Would like to be able to set featured setting on more than 20 clips at a time in clips manager UI. Currently, if I'm scrolling through and selecting a bunch of clips to feature, the button greys out once I've selected 21+ clips.

"we want to give you more control over which Clips are shown to viewers on Twitch"
Kind of ironic considering how creators can't remove the "Featured Clips Only"-toggle from their own channel. You're forcing this feature down the throat of everyone and calling that "more control"?

I cannot feature clips from the page "clips I've created".

Looking over the How-to information, it says that you can mass "feature" clips, but I see no such option in my clips manager

Another problem with featured clips at the moment is that unfeaturing is extremely unintuitive. The "Feature This Clip" button should be replaced by an "Unfeature This Clip" button after pressing it, instead of just being greyed out. Also, maybe the three dot menu in the featured clips section, which currently only has a "Report Clip" button, should have an "Unfeature Clip" button as well. The only way I could find out how to unfeature a clip was by carefully reading the Featured Clips article.

I'd love to be able to have the clips connect better with Top Clips, instead of completely replacing them. One idea I had would be having them stuck to the top with a small "Featured" text bubble on them, which can let a viewer know that it's a featured clip instead of a top viewed clip, and then as they scroll they end up back on the old Popular Clips shelf, while still allowing streamers to show up specific clips above others

This seems like an interesting feature for discovery!
One thing that bothers me a lot is that the old "Popular Clips" shelf has disappeared. It's cool that streamers will be able to choose clips that represent them well, but constantly keeping up with new clips on the channel, only to have to manually feature the most popular ones, seems to be a lot of work for something that has already existed before: the popular clips shelf. As GreatSphynx says, streamers should have the option to customize the shelves and put popular clips at the top again. Featured clips can then still be used for discovery purposes elsewhere on Twitch, but the streamer needs control over their own channel.

Please add an option for the streamer to continue to show all top clips by default, as the layout was before. I enjoyed having my top clips of the week at the top of my channel page, as it helped new viewers discover more about my stream.
Many viewers and streamers don't know of this change and just assume there are no clips on the channel or that the clips are now privated.

A few things
1) There needs to be a way to easily change the order of the featured clips on the channel front page. I get this is for algo discovery, but if its the first thing on our page people see then we should be able to choose the order of the videos. Right now it seems like to change the order you have to remove and re-add videos but it just puts them at the end of the list.

2) There needs to be an option to show the former video shelves like prior to this change. It's extremely weird that you would go from a customizable layout where we could pick and order which shelves we wanted to appear, to literally only having one and then hiding every single VOD and Highlight on the videos tab instead of just letting us have it front and center. When people come to my page offline they usually want to see my most recent vods and highlights, not popular clips.

3) please just add a button to the new clip list to add a single clip to featured. if you've already featured a clip and keep it checked, and then check off another clip the button just grays out. Especially if we can't pick the order of our clips on the shelf, this is the only way to put what we want in what order we want and it's tedious to check and uncheck every single clip. also as far as i can tell there is no draggable scrollbar in the new clips list, and my mouse when middle mouse clicking only allows horizontal scrolling not vertical? It takes forever to scroll through a large list of clips with just the mouse wheel....

4) im not totally sure what the point of clip analytics is considering clips are not a form of direct revenue for streamers as far as i know. I don't really know what use that information is other than to show us "more people will watch your featured clips vs unfeatured" which makes sense but yeah, not sure why we need another analytics set when the analytics window itself needs some improvements (like being able to see your analytics sorted by stream, not by date).

id love on exactly how it will work, can we only select clips directly clipped from vods or could we upload and select clips that have been edited? if so how should said clips be formatted, should they be horizontal or vertical?

Adding to the complaints about the featured clips button being on by default. It makes looking at clips more annoying than it has to be.

Allow streamers to rearrange the order of their featured clips manually and/or by other variables (e.g. creation date) rather than sorting automatically by view count.

Also, provide more explicit information about how clips will be selected and shown on the mobile Discovery Feed. A few questions: will clips be shown in their entirety or is there an upper time limit less than the clip maximum of one minute?; will the clip title be displayed?; will chat be displayed?

Clips manager is important place where I want to see all clips, not got forcet do see recommended after page refresh. So please add option to always display all or just remember if I choose option for display all clips.

Add an option for a viewer to show all clips by default. Currently many streamers which I follow seems to not be aware of this feature and clips tab is shown empty by default. Now I need to toogle this switch every time I want to see a clip

Add an option into Channel settings > Featured content for the ability to have multiple shelves so that featured clips and past broadcasts can be viewed at the same time from the homepage, or just display both by default.

Some viewers are unaware about the videos tab and filtering so using the featured clips currently will confuse people about how to view vods, Having an option to show both would benefit viewers and streamers as it allows for discoverability without compromising on easy access to vods.

Why does the "Featured Clips Only"-switch turn on again after clicking each clip when viewing clips of a channel by top 24h/7d/30d?

Which is horrendous for viewers in the desktop UI when they want to watch those clips in succession but have to set this switch to off again after each clip.

Can "all clips" and "featured clips" be totally separate categories? It'd be better to let us choose how we'd like to showcase our clips on our main channel pages! Not all of us want to feel pressured to comb through our clips to pick ones to feature just to make the category visible.

Also, I was messing around with featuring clips and now I can no longer feature any. Whenever I try to I'm given the error "Could not feature this clip" and the "Try again" button doesn't do anything.
