  1. I would like a way to watch multiple streams at the same time, kind of like multitwitch.
    Twitch has gone out of its way to break sites like that so why not do it instead.

  2. There is a need for Twitch to implement a native audio compression tool to every stream, that users can toggle on/off to bring the audio ranges more in line. This is already a third party tool that's available and is incredibly useful on the user end that helps boost the lower audio ranges and decrease the screams/loud sounds.
    While it can be informative to tell the streamer that certain parts of their audio is higher/lower, the user end setup can produce different perceptions. Having a native compressor tool on Twitch will alleviate that issue so that each user can get…

  3. As a twitch user that does not have the best of internet, it's extremely frustrating to not be able to support your friends who have affiliate because their streams have no quality options besides their source selection.

  4. Disable AUTO on video player. Even if you choose 720p after sometime it switches back to auto and freezes the stream.

  5. I think the navigation of vods is pretty tedious. It would greatly benefit from a more user friendly interaction. The Android app has buttons to revert 10 seconds or skip 30 seconds. This is great, however these buttons aren't accessible enough due to being to small. As Fitts's UI design Law teaches us, the accessibility can be increased by increasing the size of the button. The way YouTube does it is splendid. The left half of the screen is used to navigate backwards and the right to navigate forwards. Then, by simply double tapping in the respective region the user…

  6. I think it would be amazing to have a snappy instant replay option whereby, with the touch of a button we could have a pop-up overlay which could be set to play back the last 5-15 seconds (or however much time deemed optimal by the community) of action with playback control.

    Clips are a great feature and definitely have their place like when a streamer asks us to clip something or we just want to highlight and share something with chat, but they do take us away from live action by opening in a new tab.

    Most of the time…

  8. I have a Galaxy S8 and it has an 18.5:9 aspect ratio. With apps such as YouTube and Netflix, I have the option to make the video a fullscreen video instead of the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, Twitch does not allow this. This would not be a problem except for the fact that many devices have OLED screens. Because the 16:9 aspect ratio does not use the full screen, pixels on either side are left turned off. Over time, this leads to reverse burn in and color issues with the screen as the pixels in use will degrade faster…

  9. Watching streams that are not live can be a bit of a pain at times. It’d be nice to feature options such as “jump to” icons like 15 second forward or 15 second backwards. There is also currently a bug whee after pausing a replay stream, the audio cuts out.

  11. When multiple streamers are streaming together, We should be able to see their streams instead of picking one person stream to watch. i.e (Kai cenat and Speed when they played Minecraft) we should be able to see both screens and follow both of them at the same time. Or when they had Streamer University we should be able to pick multiple streamers who are all streaming together and follow their streams not have to pick one and then go back to see what we may have missed on someone else's stream.

  12. The problem is, every time I want to watch a movie or a TV show, I search online to find which streaming service does stream that movie, so many options and the cost pile up, usually I either pirate it or just forget about it.

    So many streaming services, both in US and elsewhere, cost pile up and confusion happens.

    Twitch and Prime Video -- both being held by the same mother Co., Amazon -- are positioned to create the best movies and streaming service there is.

    The idea is, you would create a "Movies Library" on Twitch just like…

  13. We've been told for over a year now that it's coming but there is absolutely no movement. Australia isn't exactly a small market for Twitch, at what point does this become abandonware?

  14. Please allow users to pin specific streamers to the top of their list. There are some streamers which I enjoy who are on the low end of viewer count compared to others I watch. I will not always realize they are online because I follow so many channels. Allowing me to pin specific people lets me keep my favourite streamers on top, no matter how popular they are, lifting up some of the lowest members, this also helps boost the visibility of less popular streamers, allowing you to keep more of your performers organically without needing to 'boost' them. This…

  15. I’d like to suggest adding forward/backward navigation arrows to the fullscreen video player. This would allow users to browse channels without exiting fullscreen or relying on browser navigation buttons. It would make channel surfing smoother and more immersive

  16. There should be a history of past videos and live streams you have watched in the last thirty days. It can be annoying having to research for the video and you can't find it or it takes forever to find. A video history section would be an amazing improvement in the app.

  17. Videoplayers shows a blackscreen instead of video-track when someone trying to capture and record your live-broadcast (browser capture/screen capture). It would help streamers to be protected from people who want to harm their accounts and to frame a streamer somehow (may be enabled/disabled in settings).

  18. I propose a new feature that allows viewers to interact with the stream by adjusting the size and position of the streamer’s facecam in real-time. This can be implemented as a reward through channel points, bits, or subscriptions, giving viewers a fun and engaging way to personalize their experience. This feature would enhance interactivity and offer streamers a unique way to connect with their audience dynamically.

  19. Allow to manually start the livestream from the beginning while the livestream is live. Viewers may join the livestream late and miss a large portion of the stream. As a result, they will have to wait until the livestream is over to start the livestream again to watch what they’ve missed. YouTube livestream videos allow users to watch any portion of the livestream at any time while the livestream is live. Implementing this feature will save viewers valuable time to catch up on livestreams instead of having to wait until the livestream is over watch what they’ve missed.
