1. Provide transparent and clear communication about changes to function and features of Twitch.

   Twitch has asked us to hold them accountable and we have been met with a wall of silence accompanied by shadow changes like the ones made to auto-hosts.

   Twitch must communicate to creators with transparency about the plans and the data that leads to them. Without streamers there is no Twitch. We deserve to be able to ask questions and voice concerns about potential changes to the platform that we make possible.

   These are the changes we would like to see:

   1. Allow for comment periods in advance of finalizing rollouts of changes to existing features.

   2. Provide open access to data from studies that lead to changes to the function and features of Twitch.

   3. Communicate clear timelines for rollouts of new features and changes to existing features to allow streamers adequate time to prepare.

   4. Provide a roadmap of expected changes to Twitch so that creators can understand the trajectory of the platform that many of us at least in part make a living on.

2. New viewer count algorithms are questionable and only allow two simultaneous streams

   I have recently tested your new viewer count algorithms and have found results that point to two simultaneous streams are allowed only... not a 'handful'(?) as you stated on twitter?
   I believe this will make things impossible for the smaller streamers and hurt Twitch a little bit too in the long run.

   The smaller streamers are basically the collateral damage in this as most streamers on twitch have a slow moving all important chat until they get into the 100s of viewers. Most of the viewers that do stay behind will usually have multiple streams open as their main, whilst they come by to say hi and see what's up every now and then. These are usually the early base of viewers that increase their viewer count to somewhat respectable for them to be noticed by more and more people and THAT is when their personality and charisma can come into play to get the snowball of rolling. By limiting these streamers to the 'two streams on max or their views won't count' law, the little guys basically have this taken away and it leaves practically only one option for them to realize their dreams: a once in a lifetime occurence causing them to go viral and blow up. A hard task has only become harder.

   These new algorithms also don't take into account the fact that these days alot of people simply do not have a high attention span and seeing as the nature of streaming is more comparable to a 5 course dinner instead of quick fast food (Youtube), viewers are bound to be inclined to have multiple streams open simultaneously, and usually more than the two that are allowed nowadays.

   In the long run I feel Twitch could discourage a large amount of streamers with this viewer count system and could lose promising streamers who will never realize their potential and who will never be discovered because of the new viewer count algorithms? If need be, at least make the competition fair by correcting the codes and make the rule affect everyone on twitch because I have come upon quite a few irregularities during testing. But ideally, a midway compromise could be adjusting the algorithms to 5 tabs, which seems more in line with the honest lurkers' viewing behavior on Twitch.

   Thank you for your time and again, I hope Twitch will review their decision and at least leave a little bit more breathing space for the smaller streamer to grow.

3. Allow partnered streamers to keep sub points

   Sub points should be accumulated & not get expired along with expired subs as it helps streamers to unlock emote slots quicker. And with more emotes available, potential subscribers would be more enticed to sub or continue their subscription.

   Looking at "expired" sub points on our partnered dashboard not only demoralized streamers before the start of each stream, we'd get less interested to help promote subscription to our viewers & would encourage direct donation instead.

   My current subpoints which unlocked 24 emotes is now at 366/1,000 because 600+ gifted subs expired this month. I don't see how I could get my next 25th emote slot unlocked if Twitch doesn't allow partnered streamers to keep the subpoints earned fairly & paid for from viewers.

   Let us keep our hard-earned subpoints so we can grow Twitch together!

6. [Experiment] Follow Cues

   We’re experimenting with cues as a way to help streamers while they're live. Follow cues are a feature that reminds streamers to tell viewers to follow when they are live. Timing of these reminders are based on real-time data that tells us when the percentage of viewers not following you is higher than usual. We are testing location of these cues in either Chat or Activity Feed.
   We look forward to hearing your feedback!

7. Reconsider the recent changes to the Twitch Terms of Service (6/6/2023), including those centered around branding.

   After receiving a notification about the changes to the Twitch Terms of Service on 6/6/2023, it is clear that there are changes that greatly affect streamers and how they are able to earn an income through the Twitch platform. Before I begin, I highly recommend that Twitch consider creating a way to be able to highlight changes made to their Terms of Service when they are updated, as there was no indication of WHAT changed specifically until I saw a thread on social media explaining it. This is an easy fix to a frustration that many have when a website's Terms of Service are leagues long.

   There are new guidelines as to branding and what is allowed (found here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/branded-content-policy) that seem anti-creator, not to mention the fact that a recent event specifically breaks many of these rules just by existing. Take for example Games Done Quick, which does all of the items that are now theoretically prohibited. An event like that would no longer exist, or have to completely overhaul their process, to be able to fit within these rules. And creating exceptions for specific events seems an unreasonable response when many creators live off of the fact that they are able to earn additional income to help them run their stream, or make a living, based off of external factors. Limiting a streamer to not allow them to run these types of advertisements does not convince an end user to spend their money with the streamer in another way that benefits Twitch and Amazon as an organization.

   Please reconsider these changes or open discussion with the community in order to allow creators a better path towards earning income using your service, lest we choose other services for our communities. Thank you.

8. No affiliate for those who stream private servers

   Twitch needs to investigate the games that their affiliate requests are playing before handing out Affiliates. There are people who stream private servers who are getting affiliate status when they are in fact breaking Twitch rules!

   It is written in Twitch's community guidelines that "Unauthorized Content Sharing & Other Copyright Violations
   Uploading any content that you do not own, do not have the rights to, or are otherwise not authorized to use, violates our Terms of Service and may make your account liable to DMCA takedowns by third-party rights holders. We do not tolerate, for example: rebroadcasting other Twitch broadcasters’ content, playing pirated games, showing third-party movies and television shows, rebroadcasting a sports match, playing on UNAUTHORIZED PRIVATE SERVERS, or uploading content from other sites without permission of the copyright owner."

   Do not let Private server streamers get affiliate status.

9. Pathfinder Category Problem

   The Pathfinder streaming category has an issue. 2 games have the same names. Almost every time when I select the Pathfinder TTRPG category, it gets mislabeled as the Arcade game either both on the VODs and on the stream itself. Nobody plays that arcade game, and the easiest solution is to just delete that category, but I understand if you want to keep the categories. They need to have completely distinct names in all their metadata. I'd suggest calling the TTRPG, "Pathfinder TTRPG" or calling the other game "Pathfinder Arcade Game".

   Here's a reddit post on the issue for more details and to show its a prevalent issue.

10. Cozy Gaming category

    Cozy games are often indie projects and rarely get popular to the point that people are manually searching for them on twitch. I suggest we get a Cozy Gaming category so everyone can browse for cozy streams. Cozy gaming is a niche sector women and lgbtq+ people had to carve out for themselves in the industry and I hope with time it will bring more people in ❤🥺 As of right now, it's hard to find cozy streamers on twitch. I find most of them on tiktok because the algorithm makes it easier for me. I know we can have a cozy tag but people tend to forget it. Having a Cozy Gaming category would be great to facilitate exploring new comfy games that we might not be aware of, plus meet more comfort creators. It also could make it so much easier to raid because I'd know my audience would feel safer in a cozy space. When i stream cozy games i also struggle with finding more cozy streamers online. Unless I'm playing an extremly popular game, I'll not have many people in my game category. I'm hoping this idea will make it easier for all of us to connect and grow our cozy spaces 🌱

11. Annual partner poll

    Nowadays there are lots of content creators on Twitch with follower/subscriber camps of sizes that easily outnumber those of some who have already reached their partner status. Yet, these persons still struggle after years (if not decades) of streaming to cross the required average viewer boundary which would grant them considerably wider possibilites to fascinate the audiences of theirs and other people.
    I've heard from them that if their follower camp would watch their stream at the same time, they already were partners. That is a fact that it is not a simple task for such amount of people with various daily routines to be able to gather for their content creators every time the streamer they support broadcasts. But, there might be another way for them (beyond the present methods) to help the creators to achieve their goals:
    For affiliate creators whose follower or subscriber number reaches a threshold accepted by mutual agreement of Twitch managers, I hereby propose the opportunity of annual partner polls among affiliate streamers in each country.
    Content creators satisfying the requirements could nominate themselves on an official website each year and viewers would be able to vote among the candidates on an online platform for a specific period of time. The winners of the poll would be entitled to possess the check alongside their channel.
    I hope this recommendation will be taken into consideration and proper measures will be made. Thank you for your attention.

12. Please stop pushing AI Features

    All of the people who I partner with and work with on Twitch are all going to be changing to another platform apparently due to the continuing ignorance of how people DO NOT want these features added. You even admitted that no one would Opt in yet you turn it on by default. THAT is a slap in the face. WHY would you turn it on by default? Please tell me us why with sincerity. Not reading from a script. Not just telling us what we want to hear. We know that Twitch and Amazon are together on this, but is it really worth losing your entire platform?

    I have watched companies drop the ball due to these things. I do not want to see yet another company make the SAME EXACT MISTAKE. It won't just be subs being lost. It will be streamers, Teams of content creators, even up and coming streamers will back out before anything more happens because they want to preserve their HUMANITY.

    LISTEN to the people, or the people will fight back the exact way they know how to: Working together to achieve a common goal.

    To anyone who is reading this, vote if you agree that any of these goals are attainable without any AI. That it can be done from a Person that is sitting on the other end of that screen.

13. Start listening

    This really shouldn't be a suggestion but rather something that should've been done a long time already. Time and time again we hear stories about how Twitch isn't making money and that you didn't hold on to the momentum of COVID. And while I believe the first part of that I seriously doubt the second part, and with every update it starts to feel more like a poor excuse to cover up mismanagement. And I’ll explain why I feel this way and with me I suspect a lot of others.

    First let’s start with Gues Star/Stream Together. Today it received yet another update called “Drop Ins”, a feature nearly no-one asked for, for a product nearly no-one is using (less than 1% of streamers). Yet it seems to be the primary thing you’re developing. There’s not a single data point to support the insane amount of time spent developing this, and for some reason this isn’t clear to you. Yes, you as a first party have more data points, but it doesn’t take long to browse around and still see more people using Discord, Teamspeak, Zoom, and other products to collaborate than there are people using Guest Star. If there wasn’t a collection for Guest Star users that’s also used as a shelf on the front page, then you could call Guest Star users easter eggs by how difficult they are to find. So far, it’s not working out and that’s after all the marketing to try and get us to start using it and forced popups to add Guest Star panels to our dashboards. And while doing this you’ve killed a feature people would actually use for collaboration in the form of Squad streaming, which to this day many people use 3rd party websites for and making it available for more streamers is still the top voted idea in the Creators and Stream Features category.

    Then onto the mobile app, the new update feels like a cheap copy of TikTok, and somehow its not rolled back yet. The number one goal of the app at this point feels like trying to be some clone of TikTok. What is clear by all the reactions most users don’t want, with it absolutely dominating the mobile uservoice category with still many highly voted requests to undo the update and that’s after you’ve merged most ideas into 1. If we wanted a TikTok experience most of us would open the TikTok app which also has clips and livestreams. While the clips feed is a great feature it should’ve never been merged with live and made the home page. Rather than that it would’ve been much better if you took the same approach as Instagram where reels primarily got their own feed.

    I already briefly touched on the killed squad streaming feature, but in the same category there’s another feature people actually wanted to use but that you killed before it had a proper roll out (no just partners is not a proper rollout). Moments, many people liked it but for some reason you killed it before it had a proper roll out. For these 2 features in specific it feels like you roll it out to a group and then based of those data points decide to kill it or not, often you use partners for this, many of which indeed wouldn’t use features like this but are features that would be used by a lot of affiliates. Simply by listening to the community you would’ve easily known this rather than going off data points of a roll out to the wrong group.

    There’s an insane disconnect between the people in charge and the community. And that disconnect is pushing people away and causing a (if not the) decline in viewership. And this is not even touching on massive enforcement failures and other flawed programs like the Ambassador program (the idea isn’t flawed, the execution is).

    Please just start listening, many of us love Twitch but with each update love it a bit less.

14. Twitch Alerts: Speak Emotes

    Text-to-speech is a great feature of the Twitch alerts integration. However, when viewers trigger an alert that uses TTS on my channel, the integration does NOT read out emotes. Instead of hearing "fletch61Heart" read out, the text is skipped. I'd like an option to enable / disable reading of Twitch emotes so that broadcasters can choose for themselves what gets read during alert messages.

15. Limit artificial intelligence live streamers

    It is inevitable that artificial intelligent live streamers are going to start getting more and more popular as time goes on, and I think that there should be separate rules and limitations to creators who make AI streamers that are capable of life streaming beyond the human ability to.

    Limit livestreams for AI streamers to a certain time frame, rather than an AI streamer being able to stream for 48 hours with no breaks, potentially gaming the system to get ad revenue, and subscribers at an accelerated rate.

    The website has a limit to 48 hours live streaming, however this can be circumvented by just pressing broadcast again, so this rule or limitation is essentially useless. Why not have an AI streamer limited to only 8 hours, with a cool down of at least a couple hours, making it less likely for creators who make AI for live streaming can't potentially "game" the system.

    Potential ways of labelling AI streams:

    A way to possibly make sure that an AI live stream is accurately listed could be through the Twitch API, since bots and AI livestreamers need to use the API in order to interact with the platform, this could be a perfect way to give a label to the AI stream.
    This could be used to detect if a streamer is creating an AI stream or not, making sure it is not being circumvented.

    It is inevitable that artificial intelligent live streamers are going to start getting more and more popular as time goes on, and I think that there should be separate rules and limitations to creators who make AI streamers that are capable of life streaming beyond the human ability to.

    Limit livestreams for AI streamers to a certain time frame, rather than an AI streamer being able to stream for 48 hours with no breaks, potentially gaming the system to get ad revenue, and subscribers at an accelerated rate.

    The website has a limit to 48 hours live streaming, however this… more

16. Raid "Leave" button should say "Don't Raid" or "Stay"

    Clicking "Leave" to stay on the channel is misleading :)

17. Show up in follower feeds as a guest on someone else's Stream Together session

    Right now, if you are not broadcasting and join someone else's Stream Together, you will not show up in your followers' feeds as "live": you show up fine as a +1 for the host of the stream, as well as the other live participants, but your own followers have no idea of your involvement in these streams on their follower feed unless you start your own broadcast (which is bad in certain scenarios, that I will expand upon in a bit).

    Hence why I suggest that if you are not "live", but still participating in a Stream Together session, you should show up in people's follower feeds as a guest on someone else's stream.

    Forcing people to go live for maximum visibility can actually hinder these efforts for certain types of projects, like group podcasts, tabletop sessions, game shows or other events centering around a certain stream: by encouraging people to have multiple streams on for a specific activity, you end up splitting the chats and audiences and ultimately cannibalize the group activity as a whole.

    The current Stream Together setup only works well if both/all streamers have their own PoV to contribute, like specific gaming sessions, but that one should already be covered by Squad Streaming: right now it feels like Stream Together is a bit haphazard in its implementation, since the podcasty nature of it gets muddled down by splitting the audiences.

18. Multiple streaming windows

    In short, I think many people have noticed sometimes excessive data on the window of the stream itself and I'm sure that at least 1 person had such a thought. I propose to add the ability to create a “window” in which you can stream everything separately. On the first window to stream the screen itself, on the other to stream webcam, etc. and it would not be bad to do so that the streamer can specify where these windows should stand. I think I explained locally, we can only hope that the translator translated normally ...

    There is a problem in the form that the user himself may have a problem with browser performance if these windows will be an excessive number, so I suggest adding a limited number of windows. for example 5, well or 3 ...

    I am only concerned about how the streamer will make streams so that there will be three streams separately from each other. This will probably need to be done in the streamer program itself.

    In 1 webcam maybe, in another screen recording and on the next something for creativity.

    VERY hope that this function will be added, if the streamer does not need it, it will just use for example only 1 functionality, and that's it.

    Короче, многие я думаю замечали иногда избыток данных на окне самого стрима и я уверен что хоть 1 человека посищала такая мысль. Предлогаю добавить возможность создать "окно" в котором можно будет стримить всё отдельно. На первом окне стримить сам экран, на другом стримить вебку и т.д. и ещё было бы не плохо сделать так чтоб стример мог указать то где должны стоять эти окна. Думаю я локанично объяснил, остаётся только надеется на то что переводчик нормально перевёл...

    Есть проблема в виде того что у самого пользователя может быть проблема с производительностью браузера если этих окон будет избыточное количество, поэтому предлогаю добавить ограниченное количество окон. например 5, ну или 3...

    Меня только волнует вопрос того как стример будет делать стримы так чтоб было 3 стрима отдельно друг от друга. Это наверное нужно будет делать в самой программе для стрима.

    В 1 вебка может быть, в другой запись экрана и на следующей что-нибудь для творчества.

    ОЧЕНЬ надеюсь на то что имено эту функцию добавят, если стримеру это не нужно то просто будет использовать например только 1 функционал, да и всё.

19. Private Mod-to-Streamer Messages (Visible Only to Streamer)

    As a moderator, there are many situations during a live stream where I need to notify the streamer about something urgent — like visible personal info, a suspicious viewer, or a warning before issuing a ban — but I can’t say it publicly in the chat.

    Right now, there’s no fast or efficient way to send a private message directly to the streamer that they can immediately see while live. Using whispers or Discord takes too long, breaks flow, or requires them to check another app — which isn’t realistic during an active stream.

    I’m suggesting a new mod-only chat feature where a moderator can type a command like:
    /msg or /modmsg
    …and the message will appear only to the streamer (and optionally the sending mod), highlighted in a different color, similar to how "First Time Chat" messages look.

    ---

    🔧 Additional Enhancements to Improve the Feature:

    • Custom message color:
      Let streamers choose the color of these messages to ensure they stand out.

    • Optional sound alert for the streamer:
      A soft audio notification that alerts the streamer when a private message is received.

    • Panel in Stream Manager:
      A new section inside the Stream Manager showing recent private messages from mods, helping the streamer keep track easily.

    • Streamer reply option:
      Let streamers reply privately using a command like /replymod, visible only to the sender mod (or all mods, depending on settings).

    ---

    This feature would greatly improve real-time moderation, reduce disruption during broadcasts, and support safer, more efficient communication between mods and streamers.

    Thanks for considering this!
