Autohost based on game We have an official game channel on Twitch -- we have tons of streamers that play the game, but (of course) most are variety streamers.
We'd love to autohost some of these folks playing our game, but it'd be awkward if we autohost them and they randomly play :any game that's not our game:. After all, it's the official game Twitch channel!
This would be useful to any themed streamers or gamers that only play x or y game. There may be variety streamers that play MOBAS but a LoL Twitch channel would autohost their friends only when they're playing…

Preserve Pause & Volume/Mute Settings When Hosting If you have a stream paused or muted and a new channel is hosted, existing pause & mute settings are ignored after the host. If you leave a page up during the day or evening this can cause sound to suddenly start blasting from your speakers without warning. Please don't AutoPlay hosted channels if the open Twitch page has video paused, and please preserve mute settings.
Better yet, add an option in our user settings to auto-pause/mute hosted channels so viewers can manually opt-in to watching a hosted channel.

Option to have Auto-Host change who is being hosted if someone higher on your list streams Setting a priority / list order for Auto-Host is kinda pointless if Auto-Host won't automatically switch to the streamers you prefer to host more (like a local friend or someone who streams your favorite games). That being said, I'm requesting an option for the Auto-Host settings that'll allow it to host someone higher on your Auto-Host List if they go live, even if the Auto-Host is already hosting someone else who is lower on the list so I don't have to keep manually overriding it each time.

Opt out of automaticly viewing hosted streamers There are times when I don't want to load in to a new stream after the one I was watching is over.
Some examples are when I am alt-tabbed and playing a game.
For me personally, while playing a game I will always experience a spike in bandwidth usage while the new hosted stream loads in.
Not all streams will use the same bitrate either, which is a concern, however I've not had issues with that problem so far.Another example is when I am away from the computer, viewing twitch as it were actual TV.
Then inevitably having my…

inflated views from embedded streams several channels seem to have inflated views by embedding their channels on wiki sites or other websites with high traffic. Are there any plans to address this so they don't skew the numbers for certain categories of games?

Timed auto-host Why not jump from channel to channel.
Example: someone get's hosted for 15 min (or predefined number of minutes), there's an option to leave 2 min (or predefined number of minutes) and host somebody else.

team auto-host I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right spot but I would love the ability to select people on the twitch team that I don't want auto-hosted. For example you're on a team and 1 member of that team is causing issues for other members and claiming they're cheating at a game without providing proof but the owner of the team has not yet chosen to get rid of them. I'd live the option to have team auto-host on but block that person from being auto-hosted. Currently you either auto-host anyone on the team or no one that…
