  2. With larger international audiences, you're likely going to have some people relying on VODs due to time differences or work/life commitments.

    I envision a VOD feature where you can see the VOD player and if you click a button you can see bubbles along the progress bar or a graphic which if you click on brings you to other users watching. I imagine you could have two columns or maybe an interspersed chat so that users can decide what they see.
    The benefit is that people can enjoy watching VODs with others in sync. Sense of community.

    Not sure if…

  3. 今回発表されたダイジェストの100時間制限について確認しました。
    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/video-on-demand?language=ja#storage

    ストレージの維持は負担がかかることは理解できますが、納得できない点がありました。
    下記2点についてどのようにお考えでしょうか。

    ・「現在、この100時間の制限を超過しているのはTwitchのアクティブなストリーマーの0.5%未満です。」という記載について
    配信をしたことがあるストリーマーなら100時間の制限は簡単に超えてしまいます。
    にもかかわらず「0.5%未満」という数字は不可解です。
    この割合を算出した際、"配信を行ったことのあるアカウント"のみを母数としたのではありませんか。
    もし配信を行ったことのないアカウントも含まれていた場合、このような割合になるのは当然であり、数字を小さく見せて影響の大きさをごまかす意図があると考えています。

    ・「ダイジェストは視聴者への露出やエンゲージを高めるためにあまり効果的ではありませんでした。」という記載について
    確かにダイジェストを意識して視聴する機会には乏しかったと感じています。
    しかし、TwitchのWebページにはダイジェストの視聴を促すような導線はありません。
    そのような導線なしに「あまり効果的ではありませんでした。」という発言がされたことに、納得感が得られませんでした。

    I have read the 100-hour limit for videoes.
    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/video-on-demand?language=ja#storage

    I understand that maintaining storage is burdensome, but there are some points that I do not agree with.
    What are your thoughts on the following two points?

    ・You said "Less than 0.5% of active streamers on Twitch are over the 100-hour storage limit today."
    A streamer who has streamed before would easily exceed the 100-hour limit.
    The figure “less than 0.5%” is uncomfortable.
    When you calculated this percentage, you probably used only the number of “accounts that have…

  4. Similar to YouTube where you can save vods from different channels to a playlist to watch back to back instead of having to hunt through the channels you normally watch.

    Ana responded

    Hey,

    Thank you for your suggestion - it's great. Just wanted to mention I have moved it to Video Features > VODs for further consideration. Have a good day!

  5. Allow Streamer to set who can download VODs (viewers, subs, mods) and add a button to download the VOD, also add the option to download the VOD's chat w/o it (it can be a .srt file so it can be used with any player).

  6. I love playing back recent broadcasts from music streamers and want to "like" them so I know and they know that their broadcast was viewed and enjoyed. I'm already following them, but giving kudos for a recent broadcast would be really nice to have.

  7. I'd like to know when my past streams are about to be deleted so that I can watch them with my friends one last time before they're gone forever. It's not fun when something good that you did that was recorded is just deleted forever like that.

  8. While I am watching an old broadcast, usually the day or two after it happened, I want to catch up on a few things. I do not watch the entire thing, but usually skip along to key moments. I would appreciate a few different ways to know where to skip along the time track on bottom. For example, if there were markings along the bar that showed where clips were taken. This would let watchers know that something "big" happened there and worth stopping there along the skip. A "Next Clip" button with this could let the user skip along…

  9. If VODs are only for subscribers, the channel moderators should also be able to see them whether the mods are subs or not. Currently some of my moderators can't see them because they don't have subs due to circumstances.

  10. Many times when watching VODs, you just want to see the highlights without watching the entire thing. This would make it easier to stay up to date on your favorite streamer or get a feel for a streamer you're interested in watching.

    An elegant way to be able to do that could be with a histogram on the progress bar based on chat frequency.

    A competitor recently implemented histograms on their progress bars based on most watched parts but given that the majority of watch time on Twitch is live and uninterrupted, having it based on chat would be more…

  11. Allow streamer to mute VOD sections and re-publish to be sure the mute is in the correct places (the auto-muting is quite often off the mark).

    Giving the option to mute the section in the vod while live would be awesome as well. For example, when playing a game that has copyrighted music in it we could easily start the muted section just for the VOD without muting in the live stream. This would be particularly helpful for playing games that have copyright music in the soundtrack which is safe to live stream but not to have stored in the…

  13. You're watching a stream. Two or more of your favorites happen to be participating in shenanigans. You REALLY want to be able to switch perspectives in a short or compilation video. But because streamers start at different times (sometimes vastly so) seeking out the material can be frustrating!

    Why let that sort of hassle fester when you can make it LOADS easier? Put up a toggle that allows people reviewing clips to see the UTC time of the recording!

    When gathering clips for a perspective compilation or short, it would be of immense help searching for alternative perspectives if clippers…

  14. Please add in RSS Feeds for easy syndication into blogs, twitter and other platforms.

    Create RSS Feeds for each of the following sections for channels:
    Past Broadcasts
    Highlight VODS
    Clips from your Channel
    Channel Feed Posts

    Another one that maybe very useful is the last 10 or 20 chat messages from your channel or vod playbacks.

  15. When a game is changed mid-broadcast, it shows up as chapters in the final VOD, but these chapters do not show up in a global search for that game. Only the video's initially chosen game shows up.

    This would be huge for indie devs who make short party games that are often played within a larger variety game night.
    (Our game is frequently streamed as a break between Jackbox games, and so we rarely show up in video search results even if I can manually find and see us listed in a VOD's chapter later)

  16. Some of my followed streamers go on long binges of one game and sometimes don't change the title or barely so it can hard to tell where I left off if I'm trying to watch a whole play through. Especially during story driven games.

    It would be handy if I could mark streams as watched. The current bar that shows your progress through a video works reasonably well. Perhaps if a viewer gets to the end of a VOD that progress bar could remain all the way across to the end to show that they left off at the end.…

  17. When watching a VOD, every couple of minutes a batch of ads plays. That's fine. However I often have the VOD running in an inactive window while doing other stuff. After the ads, the VOD doesn't continue playing unless I click the window. However, even if it just finished a batch of ads, the same ads will run again before the VOD starts back up. God forbid I click away from the window because it will do the same thing again without ever starting the VOD. To be honest this feels scammy towards the advertisers who pay you to play…

  18. Hi,

    Your support said me that "From September 1, there will be a small change in the VOD retention periods. VODs will remain saved for 60 days for most partners as well as Prime and Turbo users. For affiliates and other streamers, VODs will remain saved for 7 days before being deleted."

    Why are you doing this ? To be affiliated takes time, a lot of time. You have to keep your spirits up and fight.

    There is nothing worse than having a page without vod when you come across a streamer. It's empty, it doesn't make you want to.

  19. It seems a lot creators play more than one Game per Stream. But it's just possible to tag the VOD in 1 categorie, even maybe streamed in 2 or 3. And even if they change the category while streaming, the VOD will have just 1 category.
    So if users search in the 2., they will not see the VOD even the creator streamed that game too.

    That's bad for the creators who miss potential new followers and bad for the viewers who maybe miss a good stream.

    If I search for VODs in a category, I wanna see all fitting…

  20. After making VODs it's difficult to find one from a specific date. We need a sort option for date streamed, date archived, ect.
    Clips have this option but not videos.
