  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. Please add in RSS Feeds for easy syndication into blogs, twitter and other platforms.

    Create RSS Feeds for each of the following sections for channels:
    Past Broadcasts
    Highlight VODS
    Clips from your Channel
    Channel Feed Posts

    Another one that maybe very useful is the last 10 or 20 chat messages from your channel or vod playbacks.

  5. • Please bring back the clip visibility toggle. Removing it has ruined content management for creators:
    • Harder to moderate: Streamers now have to manually filter through hundreds of random clips. Trolls can clip TOS violations, and they instantly appear on the channel page before moderators can react.
    • Profile spam: Our video tabs are now cluttered with low-quality viewer misclips and spam, hiding the best moments and hurting our portfolios for sponsors.

    If you want to take back control of your channel's content, please VOTE and comment below to get Twitch's attention!

  6. When a game is changed mid-broadcast, it shows up as chapters in the final VOD, but these chapters do not show up in a global search for that game. Only the video's initially chosen game shows up.

    This would be huge for indie devs who make short party games that are often played within a larger variety game night.
    (Our game is frequently streamed as a break between Jackbox games, and so we rarely show up in video search results even if I can manually find and see us listed in a VOD's chapter later)

  7. The scrolling to that stupid whatever banner under the stream when viewing a new stream makes discovering a stream to watch very annoying. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be fired.

  8. When moving the mouse cursor off the left side of a window, if it happens to pass over the icon of a live stream, it will bring up a floating window showing a preview of that stream's title, category, and number of viewers.

    This is useful information, and used to persist only when the cursor was hovering the stream icon; now it persists when the cursor has moved out of the window.

    This is a problem for people who run Twitch on a monitor on the right, and other apps on a monitor on the left. The mouse cursor will…

  9. I always keep the quality option set to "source" so it's always using the highest setting. Auto is constantly freezing the stream and lowering/upping it even though I have extremely consistent fiber internet speeds so I absolutely despise this option.

    There are some streamers I watch that have 1440p as their source quality and I can't select it because I turn hardware acceleration off on my browser. This makes it choose the option below it. It then defaults me to 720p for other streamers instead of their source option which is typically 1080p.

    Highest Available would completely alleviate this issue.

  10. Some of my followed streamers go on long binges of one game and sometimes don't change the title or barely so it can hard to tell where I left off if I'm trying to watch a whole play through. Especially during story driven games.

    It would be handy if I could mark streams as watched. The current bar that shows your progress through a video works reasonably well. Perhaps if a viewer gets to the end of a VOD that progress bar could remain all the way across to the end to show that they left off at the end.…

  11. Vods from streams that use split audio setups to remove certain audio sources from vods seem to have absolutely no audio, but ONLY in streams after 6/24, and ONLY when the playback quality is set to 360p and below. Otherwise they are fine.
    The same issue occurs in chrome, firefox, edge, and mobile app, regardless of being logged in, or browser extensions.

  13. Right now, the ability to upload videos is disabled if you are in the DJ Program. However, if you want to have a channel trailer, you need to be able to upload a video. This effectively makes it so unless you leave the DJ program, upload a trailer, and then re-enter the DJ program, there is no way to have a channel trailer. Can you make it so DJs can upload trailers or upload videos please? ◡̈

  14. The title bar looks godawful at the top, it goes against the standard that every other video website has, and is forced upon users with no option. At least make it optional! What was the point of this change? Was this seen as an improvement? Why? In what way is it possibly better?

  16. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/understanding-viewer-count-vs-users-in-chat?language=en_US#:~:text=If%20I%20have%20a%20stream,tab%20is%20not%20in%20focus
    "If I have a stream open playing live video in another tab, do I still count as a viewer?
    Yes, if live video is playing, you will count as a viewer, even if that tab is not in focus." -Twitch

    This is a blatant lie as I've tested this out with a streamer friend, when I'm no longer tabbed into the stream it'll no longer count me as a viewer, its not muted which also doesn't stop you being a viewer supposedly. Just fix it to where as long as the video is playing it'll count correctly.
    Personally I…

  17. 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…

  18. When you download clips now, they stutter and chunk along for the first few seconds. This has been going on since the clip editor update (which is great by the way, just need this bug fixed). The clips also aren't able to be published on twitter, as twitter says the clips are higher than 60 FPS now. Please fix this, as it is not allowing me and others to do stream highlights videos, and also disallows shares on social media channels for promoting our streams.

  19. The new clip creator, editor (Create Clip, Edit Clip screen/menu) starts with muted audio, so you have to unmute the clip you're creating, editing, or just saved and rewind it because of autoplay each time you open the creator/editor. Please make the editor start with unmuted audio, or better yet, remember the audio mutedness state like the rest of the site, so if you had the audio muted on the last page you watched something on (stream, VOD, clip) the clip you're creating/editing will start with audio off, otherwise it will start unmuted.

  20. Hello,

    i edited a clip and made it shorter than the original was. (great feature btw)

    Now it shows on the normal twitch web page, that the clip was made 8 month ago (which is correct) but on the Phone app it shows the date where i edited the clip.

    It should show the original date and not when i edited the clip on the phone app, since it is the same clip from 8 months ago and it would confuse the viewer when the same clip suddenly hasn't the original date anymore.
