  1. When browsing, the preview video volume needs a slider. The toggled presets are way too loud. It's like Netflix.

  2. When a Twitch.tv stream is not the visible tab (on macOS Firefox), pressing the Play/Pause key on the keyboard can pause the stream, but it can't play the stream.

    Please allow both to work.

  5. Why are streams limited to 16:9 aspect ratio?
    Streamers has banners, chat, their webcam, goals, other stream relevant info all on top of their stream. If not fully customisable, there should at least be options for streams with larger/extra dimensions so there can be additional information shown without detracting from the main content.
    I saw a good example of this as work at Dota 2 TI last year. The main screen in the venue had additional space that showed detailed player character information in real time - it made for a much better viewing experience than simple gameplay-restricted view size.

  7. Sendo direto ao ponto, o jeito que é mostrado os titulos de live quando estamos no modo teatro é horrivel, ele ocupa grande parte da tela dependendo do tamanho do titulo que o streamer coloca chegando até a tampar a facecam dele se ela estiver posicionada no canto superior esquerdo. A minha sugestão é simples: encurtem o titulo quando estivermos usando o modo teatro, usando "...". Exemplo "Hoje vamos fazer um c...". Se a pessoa quiser saber o titulo inteiro da live, é só ela tirar do modo teatro, ninguem precisa que o titulo inteiro fique a mostra no modo…

  9. Hello to everyone who read that :)

    Me and a lot of friends take a lot of time watching stream together with screen sharing on discord.
    I know Spotify are able to detect Discord mic activity to stop playing music if it detect you share your listening on vocal, it would not be possible to make the same type of link, to count 4 viewers when i watch a stream with 3 friends ?

    Thank you !

  10. When watching a stream on your second monitor which is vertical you might want to have the chat out while in fullscreen. But the chat pops out from the right side and is located on the side, making the stream so much smaller. While on a vertical screen there are huge black bars both above and under the stream. Please make it possible to have the chat there instead of to the side.

  11. Remove the ability to stream at 60 fps, that'll immediately cut the costs of those streams using that by almost half. Then limit max resolution to 1080p and if you want to go further you can limit viewing a stream to 720p unless you're subscribed to that streamer which will then allow you to watch in 1080p. Some people may be upset about the latter but if you want to cut costs and become profitable that may well do it. It may even increase people subbing.

  12. Whenever i want to go fullscreen, there is no way for me to see chat unless the streamer has their own chat on screen. It would be great to have an ability to pop out a transparent chat window that you can move around while in fullscreen.

  13. "Retro" category streamers playing M Rated games are problematic because their stream doesn't get the "Mature-rated game" content label that gets automatically applied to properly categorized games.

    I suggest allowing people to set a game to Mature (instead of it being automatic, and locked out for manual enabling), or setting the Retro Category as a Mature game to capture everything.

    The labeling rule should not apply to all categories except Retro.

    Or remove the Retro category, but then where would old uncategorized games go (if they exist)?

    Am I being crazy?

  14. Make the "Paid Promotion" label stay on the Stream's video, or on mouse-over, instead of only when initially viewing the stream. Please. It goes away after a while, even when mousing over the stream's video. I have to refresh the stream to see it again, and it's possible that I don't see it within the short timeframe of entering the stream.

    Might also be nice if the Branded Content label showed up before entering the stream, such as in the tags or placed over the stream's thumbnail.

    As I believe that the Rerun tool externally marks a stream as a…

  15. Let viewers disable or mute just the mic audio or commentary. Then the streamer/creator doesn’t have to decide or choose between the two types of performances for the broadcast.

  17. I am trying to develop my stream by discovering ways of generating ad revenue, and I would like to view the Ad Stats feature while watching various popular streams here on Twitch, but whenever I try to activate/pull up the Ad Stats window, no information is displayed. Can you fix this???

  19. Currently, adjusting the video player volume sets a global level across the entire site. When watching multiple streams at once or switching between channels, different creators often have vastly different audio setups—some are too loud, while others are very quiet.

    It would be a great quality-of-life improvement if Twitch could remember volume levels individually per channel. That way, adjusting the volume for a louder streamer won't affect or lower the volume when switching to or opening another stream.

  20. This used to be a feature before where changing video quality on a stream didn't cause a pause or buffer to happen. Instead, the stream will continue to play and seamlessly transition into the chosen video resolution.

    I thought this was a neat feature that didn't interrupt the flow of the stream.
