  1. I would like to suggest adding a "Followers Only" viewing permission option for VODs on Twitch.
    Currently, VODs can only be set to either public or subscriber-only, but having a followers-only option would provide streamers with more flexibility in managing their content.
    This feature would help creators maintain a balance between content accessibility and community engagement, while also potentially encouraging more viewers to follow channels they enjoy. This middle-ground option between completely public and subscriber-only access would be a valuable addition to Twitch's VOD settings.

  2. VODS (Past Broadcasts) & Highlights/Clips.

    Please bring back VODS for DJ's that have joined the DJ Program.
    Not seeing a DJ's Vods has affected viewer and follower numbers. It was great feature & helped promote the djs channel and grow his/her community.

    A Twitch user/viewer could get a feel of what a particular dj streamer was about by reading their bio and watching their vods and potentially then give that dj a follow. This in turn would lead to that viewer getting a notification when this dj was live. Thus leading to a new viewer and building their channel. Subsequently…

  3. Would love to see some kind of badge or notice shown on the VOD of a sub only video. Whether it's a blurred thumbnail with the words "Sub Only" on it as it would make it easier as a viewer to quickly scroll through a VOD listing and see a listing of sub only VOD's without having to actually click on the VOD itself, only to be told you can't watch it.

  4. This is coming from a mods point of view I think it would be really cool if y’all added a category called running the vod back or vod replay something like that my reasoning is now a days you have so many people who do long streams like a 24 hour or a subathon stream and when they step away even if it’s just to eat sometimes they put on previous Vods for their community to watch when they get back and yes the mods can pin a message saying he they stepped away this is a vod but not…

  5. The last segment of VODs are missing (~10s), and this occurs on channels with split audio. You can see that all their VODs end with 0

    examples - willneff, cyr , fanfan(notice when she's at a different setup it doesn't occur)

  6. Sarebbe molto utile visualizzare una barra rossa come quella di you tube o comunque qualche tipo di indicazione dei VOD già guardati. Altrimenti se i video non vengono visti in live ma recuperati dopo ad un certo punto non si capisce più niente
    Grazie

  7. Give an option to select a minute out of a VOD broadcast to blur the video in case a user shows information by accident.

  8. You make no effort to tell new streamers that we can save our streams to always be watchable. I just lost an ENTIRE podcast episode over 1 hour long because of your confusing and quite frankly HORRIBLE interface. If there was a way to recover your old streams this wouldn't be an issue, but you make 0 effort to even tell us we can do this or provide a way to recover streams. If you can help me recover it then email me, you have my info. But, as of right now I'm incredibly embarrassed and disappointed because you made…

  9. Allow top/hold to increase playback to 2x on mobile and desktop. YouTube recently added this feature and it’s great for speeding up specific parts of a video on the fly.

  10. Hello,
    I have a feature request concerning VODs (so it concerns both categories, I chose the second one, just because).

    The user YHCHKN_ proposed a great idea with his 'Watch Later' feature
    but I still considered my idea worth being shared to come in addition to his.

    As a big twitch consumer, I have many VODs from many creators that I would like to watch. And in place of having plenty of tabs of these VODS waiting for me to have free time to watch them, a dedicated feature would be more than useful (not only for me I hope).

  11. It took me a very long time to find out where to actually find my markers when I do use them on stream, because they are hidden away in the highlighter section. Would you consider adding stream markers to our VODs so that they are 1. easier to find and 2. Even easier for us to make clips from our VODs rather then having to go into the highlighter first then finding where the marker is from there!

  14. Sería bueno que no sólo podamos recortar en trozos de 15 minutos nuestros vídeos, sino que pudiésemos elegir a poder ser el minuto exacto donde se producen los recortes, o si esto es muy complicado indicar tu mismo que trozee en X minutos exactos, por ejemplo en 60 minutos, o 30 minutos, porque lo de los 15 minutos se queda muy corto para gente que tenemos directos muy largos.

    Incluso esta ventaja la podéis ofrecer para los afiliados o parnets para así alentar que consigan ese grado en twitch.

    Saludos y espero que os guste la idea. Muchas gracias.

  15. If someone wants to watch a past VOD and it's been past 60 days or more, it's usually deleted. But, we can change that by letting streamers/creators have an option. When a VOD gets deleted there should be a trashcan/uploading feature on whether they want to delete this VOD or let it be uploaded again for another 60 days.

    Or, if that's too much for the streamers to deal with; then there should be an option where chatters can easily vote JUST for themselves if they want to see this VOD again or not, they can also go back and…

  16. I am not an affiliate, but the VOD settings tell me that my videos will save for 14 days. I've found that this has been changed to 7 days. Please update the VOD menu so that this change is accurate. It's been incorrect for almost 6 months now.

  17. When reading chat messages on VODs, scrubbing through the vod shows only the chat messages after the point where you scrub to. Would love to have previous chat messages stay while scrubbing through the vod the same way that feature works on desktop.

  18. When you normally watch part of a vod, close the page, then reopen it later. It remembers where you left off. If you were to instead watch a vod by first selecting a chapter, if you close the page and reopen it later, it brings you back to the original timestamp of the chapter selected. I wish it would remember where I left off instead.

  19. I'm going back over some bans, and trying to find the context from chat replay on a 6 hour vod. I know when the ban happened and when the message happened as it's timestamp is recorded. The problem is while I am watching the VOD the only timestamps it shows is hour far hh:mm:ss into the vod I am when the chat appears, and not the actual timestamp of when it happened.

  20. It would be nice to export at a certain time, maybe "export in 24 hours" or "export at ..." (and pick a date/time) so exports could be scheduled.
