  1. Can we get Chapter Select as a standard feature across all the apps? It's currently only available on the website at the moment and it's such a useful feature.

  2. In OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS, the streamer is able to Stream on certain Audio Tracks, and Record on certain Audio Tracks. As more and more integration with the OBS' and Twitch comes alive, this should be something that can be done. To simply put it, as a Streamer, I could put my Microphone on Audio Track 1, my Gameplay on Audio Track 2, my Music on Audio Track 3, my Voice Comms on Audio Track 4, and my OBS Alerts on Audio Track 5. Then, in the Twitch Video Player, give the Viewer the option to select which of…

  3. For times when you need to go to the restroom, get a phone call or anything really. Being able to catch up on what you've missed would be great I feel.

  6. In several discussions across Twitch-related Discord servers, it has been highlighted that the channel.chat.message payload currently lacks specific chatter status fields, such as ismoderator or isvip. Given the already substantial size of the payload, adding individual key-field pairs for each potential status could unnecessarily increase both bandwidth usage and processing time.

    To address this, I propose the introduction of a single key: chatter_flags. This field would utilize a bit flag to represent multiple statuses within a single integer value. This approach not only minimizes data transmission but also simplifies the process of updating and checking user statuses—especially as…

  7. Create a playback rate shortcut, like Youtube.

    For example, when you go to a Youtube video and press: "SHIFT + >", the playback rate increases, and when you press: "SHIFT + <", the playback rate decreases.

  8. On the event of a Stream restarting or even needing to switch OBS settings, it’d be nice to be able to let Twitch know that “this stream is part of the previous one that ended (within a certain amount of time) ago.” I think twitch has an automatic version of this, but in the oddball case of it marking two back to back streams as separate, it’d be nice to merge them.
    Why? - During stream fails you don’t have to worry about starting a new “record” on your channel; Viewers of VODS won’t have to switch; Stream Schedule Page…

  9. I want to watch multiple streamers and hear them without the gameplay sounds overlapping so that I have no idea what's happening in any of them. I just want to focus mainly on one, but still hear the other streamers talk.

  10. I would really love to be able to decide how loud the streamers voice and the streamers game is for me.
    Normally Streamers have to decide how loud everything together is.
    Iam not sure if this is possible, but i guess you can have different channels on one audio stream, why not make one for the game and one for voice.
    Then it could be possible for the viewer to decide how loud he wants to hear these channels.
    Thank you :)

  11. I’ve noticed that lately all streamers have gotten addons that will disable double-click to fullscreen unless I disable the addon. This is actually extremely annoying, as you have to be pretty precise to hit the small full-screen button in the lower right, or I have to go and disable the addon every time. I never use it anyways, so maybe either enable doubleclick to fullscreen again, have the addon disabled by default (but I guess you have more stats of who are actually using it) or best of all, add some setting so I can disable it by default. It’s…

  13. If I stream multiple games in one session, I want to be able to split the stream on command, separating the sections into separate VODs while still live. This is not the same as VOD chapters, and would greatly improve the searchability of VODs by game on Twitch, and the ability to export/download specific playthroughs for later visibility.

    I appreciate that this could be achieved by ending the stream briefly, but nobody wants to do that and risk losing viewers. This can also be achieved in post-production, but that would require lengthy downloads, re-renders, and uploads, especially if you prefer…

  14. When you export a VOD to YouTube, it exports the entire VOD. It would be nice if we could specify an in and out point for the export so that we can skip, say, 3 minutes of "starting soon" and 5 minutes at the end looking for a raid target (or whatever). It would be especially nice if a VOD could have multiple in and out markers so that it could be split into multiple YouTube videos.

    There are a few reasons I think it would be useful to have this on Twitch. The first is that now that 2K…

  15. It would be great if streamers could send music as a separate audio channel to Twitch. This would offer several benefits:

    1. Viewers could choose whether they want to hear the music.
    2. Viewers could adjust the music volume to their liking.
    3. Viewers could still hear the streamer or game audio when watching old videos that have muted parts due to music.

  16. The "Intended for Certain Audiences" warning can't be dismissed and keeps blocking portions of the video whenever I mouse over the video.
    It's distracting.
    Please stop stealing our real estate.

    Ideally just give us a setting to PERMANENTLY disable all such warnings.
    At the very least, give us the ability to dismiss the warning until refreshing the page. It is ridiculous that you keep the warning up for the entirety of a stream AND entirety of vods/clips/...

  17. Dear Twitch, when I am watching a stream in full screen, I do not want to see hype-train notifications, pinned chat messages etc blocking up a portion of the stream, please give me the option to disable these, I find them intrusive and annoying, and it ruins my viewing experience.

    I'm not asking for them to be removed, just for me to be able to disable them so they dont pop-up while watching in full screen.

  18. With the upcoming feature of local transcoding via OBS, I have a simple request, two fold:

    1. Allow the user to still manage custom settings for quality. The mention of "autoconfig wizard" is worrying, since I work hard to do custom encoding settings to make streams look better for my content.

    2. Allow high bitrate 1080p streams. 1080p still has issues with 6 Mbps and H264. If we are going to have 1440p or 4K streams that are going to probably push 20-30+ Mbps, it would be great to have an option of a "High Bitrate 1080p" stream. It would be the…

  19. Every streamer's volume is a bit different.

    Create a new option to allow the system to retrieve the last volume used for a given channel.

    When viewing a new streamer just keep the volume as is.

  20. I'd love an option in Advanced Video Settings to disable resizing of the video player, so it stays at the resolution I selected and can instead resize the window around it (or adjust the width of chat). The image clarity when viewing at the set resolution (even more if it's the source resolution) is a lot better than whatever random size fits in the space the player has with the browser full screen or however big it is when it's not full screen.
