  1. the feature for having VOD only streaming tracks so things like music can get cut out was awesome, would be super cool to be able to have "stream track" and "VOD track" for software like OBS to implement controls for, which would be super useful to cut things out of the VOD such as sub goal overlays for uses like editing VODs into youtube videos that look cleaner

  2. Whenever I go into a streamer’s clip page I see no clips because I always have to disable it. Please don’t make it automatically sort by featured clips I just want to see cool clips I don’t wtf a featured clip is and none of my favorite streamers have any so it’s very annoying.

  3. On September 24th I posted an idea for a new app for Twitch that would be like TikTok or YouTube for Twitch clips, this is because short form content is much more consumable.

    Upon discussion and feedback from streamers this should not be an app, since it would be much harder to get people to download and use the app. Instead this should be built right into the site already.

    On the front page where you see the 4 purple buttons that say Games, IRL, Music and ESports, there should be a 5th tab called Discover or maybe better yet…

  4. if picarto can have multi stream viewing in a single window twitch should be able to do it too, why do we need to use third party sites like multitwitch for something like this?

  5. It should be possible for a streamer to break the vod/start a new vod without restarting the stream.

    We might need to delete the start of a stream but leave the rest of the video being recorded to

  6. I would really like it if twitch would include our stream titles, vod title, and clip titles in the sites meta description so it shows up in (close to real time) google search.

    I recently browsed a stream on Trovo live and found that they do in real time syncing with google search twitch does not.

    By even reverse searching twitch stream titles nothing shows up in google search, this is frustrating.

    I would also like to be able to search in twitch for stream/clip,vod titles and have them show up in a search results page.

    please add this

  7. Twitch just announced that they're deleting vods for over any accounts that have more than 100 hours worth of highlights on their account. In the past, we were assured that Highlighting our vods was the way to save the previous broadcasts on our channels after the incredibly disruptive act of past broadcast deletion. However, with a mass delete of videos coming, streamers who may have hundreds of highlights are now facing the fact that they're going to have to upload all of their vods elsewhere to keep them intact.

    Twitch has an "export to youtube" feature, but on each video,…

  8. I wish there was a way to change when your clips start and ends so you can pin point the exact thing you were trying to clip to share. Example: wanted to clip a moment in Elden Ring and instead ended up with a 30 second clip when I needed a 10 to 15 second clip.

  9. It's great that we have a chat which replays in time with our videos, and it's also good that we can directly export to YouTube any of our videos...

    It would be REALLY great if those two were combined and the "live chat" record of YouTube videos could be populated with the chat from the stream.

    I have videos where an entire conversation with my viewers is had, but the chat record didn't display on stream (OBS Chatboxes glitch sometimes,) and when I export it to YouTube the whole video makes NO SENSE.

    The only alternative I currently have is…

  11. Video and chat in VODs are out of sync. This usually happens to IRL streamers who are streaming through a less reliable mobile connection. Connection problems will cause the video and audio in VODs to desynchronize.

    Shame there is no attention to this after 3 years.

  13. Recently Twitch decided to move everything to above the video instead of leaving alone at the bottom of the video where it's been for 2 decades. Many viewers would like it to remain where it's been, where muscle memory has it.

    Change for the sake for change is just wrong.

  14. Why does the "Show Full Video" button under a Twitch clip disappear so quickly? I'm watching a clip from less than 24 hrs ago and it doesn't link to the VOD anymore, even while the VOD is still published.

    For editors, the ability to jump to the VOD to the timestamp of the clip is an absolute gamechanger to save time. Especially with Twitch limiting clips to 60 secs, very often we actually need to cut a longer clip of the VOD.

    Between that and the fact that older clips only show a relative date, "A year ago" for ex.,…

  15. I have had VODs unpublished due to things like detecting copyrighted content in a game I was playing, which is fine on it's own. I can just republish the VOD, or allow the clip to be muted, and any subsequent VODs due to forgetting to switch VOD publishing back on can be republished. However, the chat does not re-associate with any clips made that stream even when the VOD is published again. I would appreciate having the chat available for these moments, especially when the stream JUST happened.
    It's also unfortunate that a VOD's expiry deletes the chat replay from…

  16. i think that also fresh users should get the chance to upload videos from their pc to twitch, videos of which they filmed before. it's a good way to (later on) start streaming, cause it's a bit embarrassing for beginners.

    Admin audit: changed "uplaod" to "upload"

  17. You know how there's some big event happened and you want to see streamer's reaction to it, but you was offline or following a lot of streamers from a similar directory.

    You know the time of an event/announcement, so you need to calculate the time from the start of the VOD and when the stream began to also find an approximate time of the moment. It's harder when there's no preview in the first day or the timeline preview is here, but the streamer showed it off-stream.

    So, because of that you usually limit yourself to the 1-2 streamers if…

  18. I would like the idea to schedule reruns to start at specific times. It would make it easier for creators who know they are going to be away from home (for example, at TwitchCon) or when managers of their dashboard can't start a rerun due to other obligations (for example, also at TwitchCon). The old premier feature allowed you to schedule uploaded content, a similar time system could be implemented for scheduling the current rerun feature.
    Could add two buttons to the existing rerun interface:
    - Start the rerun queue later. [Insert Drop-down list for date/time]
    - Start Rerun Now!

  19. After a recent Twitch website update it appears certain links to collections are now broken. Some time back all these worked but now only some do.

    Here are some concrete examples:

    Broken:
    https://www.twitch.tv/collection/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ
    https://www.twitch.tv/collections/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ?filter=collections

    These are the links used on the Twitch Dashboard and the /video page meaning internal links are also broken.

    Works:

    https://www.twitch.tv/cragsand/collection/Xu2cp82VPhaBZQ

  20. It'd be nice if I could save a draft when making a highlight, so I could come back and finish it later, and not gamble the time I spent making it.

    I made a highlight, and when I published it, the result was a "processing error". Two hours wasted.
