  1. It would be amazing if you could broadcast directly from your phone using the twitch app into obs so you have your overlays alerts ect. While keeping out 3rd parties like Streamlabs from charging to keep your stream online instead you do that yourself ( I mean actually do it yourself ) using your preferred streaming software. While your connection might be intermittent the stream stays on and maybe has some type of overlay in the background while you're trying to reconnect. I myself really like doing IRL streaming though the only issue with having spotty coverage in some areas…

  2. The dashboard tells me that markdown is supported for a VOD, and when I type in a plain text URL into the description the editor silently converts it to hyperlink markdown when I save the changes to the description.

    When I view the video, the description contains raw markdown, and markdown such as double-space for line breaks is ignored, as well as the automatically-generated URL markdown. It looks REALLY bad to users, and markdown definitely is NOT supported despite what the portal is telling me.

    Since markdown does not appear to be supported, you should also not force plaintext URLs…

  3. Typing a single quote [ ' ] into the video description field for a highlight gets transformed into the HTML entity ' - which wouldn't be a problem if that was what got spat out on the VOD page, but it isn't, we see the raw escaped entity in the description.

    This is a pretty big problem for languages that use that mark as punctuation, like, y'know, English. The most commonly spoken language in the world and also the language we are writing in right now.

    You can see the issue on this VOD page: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131783457

    Please fix asap! Cheers

  4. Add a button to the interface labelled "What have I missed?" that when clicked will show a couple of minutes of random video from the current (or previous) live stream so that people who are late to the broadcast can catch up on what has happened before they got into the stream.

  5. Seems that the volume control no longer appears on offline streams.

    Please readd it

    Some people will wait for a streamer to go live, but have the volume "remembered" from a different streamer they watched last night and suddenly get blown out speakers

  6. When reviewing clips, the mature flag needs to persist so that content from streams that are configured as intended for Mature Audiences continue that flag appropriately into the Clip UI and APIs

  9. For dumb people like me who trim a world record run with the wrong start and 5 extra minutes at the start. Why can't we trim more once it becomes a highlight?

  10. Doing daily reruns is a great way to grow. However, sending out notifications daily for reruns will make people turn off their notifications. Which is why this change is important.

  11. I have a lot of funny clips of my channel made by viewers, It would be nice if I could add them to my Funny Moments collection, without having to manually make their clip into a highlight. I would like to give the person credit for making the clip.

  12. I get that these broadcasters are featured and lots of people are watching them, but if they are going to show up on the home page, the volume should be muted.

    Or, leave it paused, or remove it.

  13. The volume slider is a commonly misunderstood thing. Slider tools tend to be linear, with defaults usually ranging from 0 to 100 in steps of 1, as the volume control does here on Twitch.
    HOWEVER, audio is not linear, it's logarithmic, and because of this, volume controls tend to suffer. There's decades of documentation on this programming mistake all across the internet, with multiple public letters, blog posts, and other comments on why volume sliders need to use a logarithmic conversion; a cursory search will provide extensive examples.

    Please change the volume control to be logarithmic, so that 1% is…

  14. Before there was an overhaul to Highlights with the new added time limit exporting to YouTube would automatically have the uploads be private. As someone who curates my highlight channel with descriptions and thumbnails, this is important to me so I can make sure I'm uploading at the right time (and I cannot rely on simply exporting them and trusting them to process at the right time, because it varies drastically depending on the VOD's length.) It's also important to make sure I handle any false Content IDs, which have become more common, so I can monetize my VODs.
    However,…

  15. Description:
    Introduce built-in tools in Twitch's video production features that allow creators to:

    Automatically generate subtitles during or after a stream for better accessibility and engagement.

    Create templates for highlight videos, for example:

    A 30-minute compilation of the most exciting stream moments.

    Pre-set editing patterns like “Intro → Top 3 clips → Funny fail → Clutch moment → Outro.”

    Make it easy to trim long streams into shorter, more digestible content that can be shared on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.

    Why it makes sense:

    Accessibility: Subtitles help people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and also viewers watching without…

  16. With the sudden push towards a 100-Hour storage limit for streams and highlights, this puts all streams that are 12+ hours at extreme risk of never being exported safely for preservation. With the sudden danger for these videos and highlights, I believe that the least that could be provided to us is more ease of ability to export videos of longer lengths.

    If a video is longer than 12 hours, YouTube will not allow it to be posted and it will simply get rejected. And with all these videos being as massive as they are, it'd require a lot of…

  17. With the capability streamers currently have to broadcast multiple audio tracks (such as VOD and Live tracks through tools like OBS), it would be beneficial to add an option for viewers to select which audio track they want to listen to during a live stream.

    This feature would allow viewers to choose between the Live Track (which includes all audio, such as alerts and music) or the VOD Track (where certain audio elements, like alerts or background music, may be muted for copyright or viewer experience reasons). This selection can enhance the viewing experience by giving users more control over…

  18. In the previous clip creator, it was possible to watch until the moment you wanted the clip to end, hit pause, and then bring the tail of the clip up to the playhead. Additionally during this click and drag, the duration of the clip would always be visible so 0.1 second adjustments could be made easily

    In the current clip creator, the moment the tail of the clip is selected, the playhead immediately jumps there, meaning that there's no marker of where to drag the playhead to. This doubles into accessibility, as a few neurodivergent traits can make holding onto…

  20. Implement sorting by exact date or by date range in the clips manager.
    At the moment it's virtually impossible to retrieve clips created in a given period in the past as there is only sorting by last 24 h / last 7 dd / last 30 dd.
