Make all AI features optional, and opt-out by default. For any features on Twitch which use AI, allow all creators to opt in or opt out of them individually, and set the default to Opt Out for all new AI features. We as creators should have the choice whether to use AI or not on our channels. If we do not want to use it at all, it's important for us to be able to have that choice, AND for us not to be opted in by default.

Community Tab Feauture Twitch needs to implement a community tab feature like YouTube has. Where streamers can update their viewers on schedule changes, announcements, etc. instead of hoping that your Twitch followers also follow you on another social media platform. This would be a HUGE positive addition because us streamers can keep our viewers up to date with anything that changes within our schedule. Please consider.

Mark Follower/Sub-only Streams When looking for people to raid, it's hard to tell who uses exclusive chats like Sub-only or Follower-only. I think this could easily be fixed by adding a little icon or label that marks ALL streams that are follower-only, sub-only, or open to everyone.

Add Sub to Streamer's Bot I would love to have my chat bot be able to show some emote love when a person subscribes. However, right now it seems I would need to sub to myself as my bot. It would be great if at least one bot can have a free sub like how the Affiliated streamer receive one sub.

Lifetime subscription options for Affiliates and Partners in dashboard So we know that Partner's get a way to give a lifetime subscription to 2 bot accounts and 3 other users, I was hoping that this could be extended with a role kind of permission that would allow affiliates to be able to gift it to their bots as well. This would make life so much easier for affiliates and let partner's know that this is an option as many don't know about it already and this would make it clear for everyone and less maintenance from the partner management team to let us manage it ourselves.
For implementation, you…

Cancel adding ai features to twitch and remove the already added feature For the sake of the platform, viewers, and creators on the platform, don't add features for generative ai, I find it improbable that nobody at twitch has seen the backlash every other platform has faced after implementing ai, discord, for example.
We all know how many sub cancelations are coming if ai spyware "features" are implemented.

Only Allow Logged In Viewers to Watch Stream Allow creators to restrict viewing of their streams to logged in users only. As an option, this would help address hate raiders who get banned and continue to watch in incognito. Effectively preventing banned users from seeing the stream.
And, at the same time would give creators a simple tool to better control how their content is viewed. For example, if they were creating Mature content and wanted to add their own limitation on consumption.
Provide similar messaging to what is available on logged out Subscriber Streams which say "USER is streaming for 'registered users', Sign up now to join…

Request for a Separate Category for the Haitian Creole Community Hello Twitch Team,
I am writing to kindly request the creation of a dedicated streaming category for the Haitian Creole community on Twitch. Haitian Creole is spoken by millions worldwide, and many creators and viewers would greatly benefit from having a clear, accessible space where content in this language can be found and celebrated.
A dedicated Haitian Creole category would:
Provide visibility and recognition for Haitian creators.
Help viewers easily discover streams in their native language.
Foster cultural diversity and inclusivity within the Twitch platform.
As a Haitian creator, I believe this addition would make Twitch more representative of its…

Increase Disconnect Protection Time to 5 Minutes I think the Disconnect Protection feature is a life saver in a lot of situations - but there are times where the current 90 seconds is not enough to recover.
In a case where a computer blue screens, it feels like a race to reboot, load up the streaming software and continue the stream.
Modems that also need a reset can take 2-3 minutes to connect online, and many routers (at least that I've owned) take a long time to restart and give online access again too.
A 5 minute window would make the recovery process a lot less stressful.

Now that embedded streams no longer auto-play, bring back Hosting So first things first:
No one has ever believed your reasoning provided for deprecated hosting. When looked into at all - at least anecdotally, with every person I've ever interacted with who's used the platform (and I have no reason to believe my selection is limiting that reach,) the reasoning has never tracked. If the suspicions we've had are accurate, then now that streams do not auto-play when embedded would eliminate the reason for why hosting was deprecated.Hosting was a significantly better community-building tool than raids. Tremendously so. It's more user-friendly on the one doing the hosting (not requiring…

Allow us to share 69 stream streaks instead of 70 We all know Twitch and internet culture and we missed an easy one not allowing our communities to share 69 streaks instead of 70.

Have a /noraid {time} command Need a short way to disable inbound raids for a nominated number of minutes.
Proposed use-case: Im streaming and I know I will end in say 10 mins. It benefits no-one if a raid-in occurs during that last10 mins. Being able to issue a short command to temporarily disable Allow raids would be quite utility in nature
At the end of the time specified the raid settings as per channel settings would be restored107 votes -
Show whether channel is opted in or out of AI features There should be an indicator on channels that show whether the channel is opted in or out of AI features. If I were a streamer who is opted out, I would only want to raid other channels who are opted out. I know there are tags for this, but tags are limited, and not all streamers are willing to sacrifice tags they deem more important. And from a viewer standpoint, if I am against AI, I would want to know which streamers are in or out so I can decide whether to engage or not. Since Twitch released this feature…

Chat QUIZ Give streamers/mods the possibility to create quizzes that involve viewers' participation; ideally for pre-shows, but not only.
Similar to bets, questions must appear in the chat, and everyone can participate.How it works:
CREATION
The streamer/mod compiles preliminary information about the quiz:
- A descriptive title for the quiz
- A participation fee (in channel points).
- The maximum number of winners. Default is 3. At least 1. (see below for prize computation)
Then, the streamer/mod compiles a "list" of questions. Each question must have:
- A description (the question itself). Differently from bets, questions can be longer than 60…98 votes -
MOD/VIP notifications when they enter a stream Streamers should get notifications when their MODs or VIPs enter their chat.
This enables the streamer to give recognition as well as take solace in knowing that the chat is being monitored.

Allow users to opt out of ALL generative AI training This was already brought up once before, but considering the people in charge have chosen not to listen, I will re-iterate.
The vast majority of the Twitch userbase HATES generative AI and do not want their content used to train generative AI. Allowing streamers to only opt out of some training is not sufficient. We want to be able to opt out of ALL generative AI training.
Your success as a streaming platform is only by the auspices of the streamers who are fiercely protective of their creative rights. Ignoring those rights will result in a mass exodus of streamers…

Reconsider Twitch moments shutdown The moments tool is one of the best that Twitch has created for low-cost loyalty in recent years. Unfortunately, the tool, in addition to being little publicized, was not made available to many people. I ask you to reconsider putting an end to it, I am the moderator and editor of a channel that has faithfully used them for almost 2 years(Kett), and a viewer of robcdee, who also uses it frequently. They are successful and many people collect them, bringing the loyalty that this platform seeks so much. I'm sure that with more publicity and availability, people will use…

Streamer can gift 3 subs per month to any viewer but don't get revenue for it. Okay so, some people can't afford to pay 5$ a month to help So for example: I give a tier 1 sub to a viewer. The streamer should be able to gift 3 subs per month to any viewer they choose but the streamer can not get revenue from it. They get 3 per month and it resets every month

Proposal: The Twitch "Hype-Link" Ecosystem Proposal: The Twitch "Hype-Link" Ecosystem
Subtitle: Turning Community Passion into Platform Discovery.
- The Core Problem
Currently, Twitch discovery is a "Winner-Take-All" system. New and mid-tier streamers are buried under a "Directory Floor" where they are statistically invisible unless they already have thousands of viewers. This encourages "Viewbotting" and creates a "glass ceiling" for talent.
- The Solution: Hype Points & The Discovery Wheels
We replace the static "High-to-Low" viewer sort with two dynamic, interactive Discovery Wheels located at the top of every category.
A. The "New Streamer" Wheel
- Target: Accounts under 6 months old or hitting "Path to Affiliate" milestones.
