Twitch, so far I'm loving the overall experience, and I think you guys do a tremendous job of listening to your community and incorporating said community feedback.

That said, there is one aspect of Twitch that bothers me right now.

I'm a gamer, and play a variety of games, namely first-person-shooters and open-world games. I like to organize all my game uploads into collections by game title. It would be nice if I could upload thumbnails featuring the game art for each collection.

Can we please get thumbnail support for collections, allowing us to add some personality to our collections? Thanks.

Also can we please get proper 1920x1080 thumbnail support? would be appreciated. Cheers!

I have few ideas for improving clips management for streamers.
As channel owner and broadcaster, I find it weird that I cant rename tittle of the clips which are done by viewers.

Disable clip settings it would be better limiting to create clip permission to channel owner, editors, moderators, and VIP. Currently, the disable clip from settings is preventing even the streamer clipping in his channel.

Permit editors to go through clips also delete and rename them as well.

As streamer and long time chat moderator in Twitch, I see these would be beneficial improvements to moderators help streamers going through thousands of clips and help to remove clips with racist titles and rename them.

Most essential to invent the same kind of mute to clips as VODS for the music. I am aware this doesn't solve DCMA issue,e, but this protects twitch in the future from DMCA claims.

Popout chat during livestreams is amazing for someone like me with two monitors, I wish I could do the same with VODs. The feature to popout the VOD player already exists, however the ability to popout chat is not there. If you could link the time between the VOD and the chat in the VOD so they sync up It would be such a big quality of life improvement to the rewatchability of live streams. Yes theatre mode exists, however the screen size is sacrificed and there is no way to have the VOD's chat overlayed either. Please add a popout chat for VOD's.

Hi! This past weekend was LOL Worlds, unfortunately I couldn’t watch it live. Something that is fairly common, especially when the event is in another time zone.

But this is no problem as I can always watch the VOD afterwards. But something that is somewhat ruining the experience for me is that I can see the time left of the video.

However, in the biggest esports such as LOL, CS:GO, OW, and Dota 2 the big tournaments are usually played out using best of matches, meaning they play until one team reach a certain won matches. Because of this the time left of the VOD can quite easily give away how many games are played.

Example: a VOD is 4h w a 30min intro from casters, each match is usually 40min w 15min in between and some after talk. I know when clicking on the video that this most likely only contain 3 games. Let’s now say it is a best of 5 (first to 3 wins win the whole thing). This means the team who wins the first match is the winner of the whole thing because there isn’t enough time in the VOD for the other team to win 3 matches on top of this.

It kind of takes away the excitement of watching a grand final for Worlds, TI, a Major, etc.

If there was a way uploaders could mark their VODs as live events so it doesn’t show the length of the video and the user has an option to watch it back as a live event w/o a time bar but still on demand as opposed to VODcasts. In the best of worlds it would even be possible to fast forward as some of these events have like 1h of countdown before anything actually starts.

Thanks

Basically in Chrome I have done absolutely everything I can in order to make Clips to work properly but it just refuses to work! I click the Clip button but it opens a new tab and the Clip never loads and stays in a eternal loading phase with a black screen no sound no anything... I searched in Google found a Reddit thread and I found that it would be fixed by turning "chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy" flags setting into "No user gesture is required" but even then I was not having any success making it work So what I did further was disable every single extension and close every single tab BUT even then it wasn't working 100% of the time perfectly because each time the Stream I was trying to Clip buffered even for a second the Clip would fail .. basically I don't know how it works in the background code but there must be multiple ways to determine which exact moment in the Stream I clicked the Clipping button than simply having the stream open that is a great disservice to people with slower connections like me! I want to be able to provide the best and most accurate Clips ever! But each time I try to make a Clip I cannot do it in the moment I want because I am forced to lower the quality of the stream just so I can make sure it doesn't buffer while my Clip is being created because otherwise its not going to work and get stuck again!

Thank you for your time.
