  1. As it currently stands, only the channel owner can start a Stream Together. I believe it would be beneficial for those with the "editor" role to be able to start the feature. This will allow the streamer to hand off a small responsibility while allowing them to continue to focus on stream without pausing or getting distracted. Potential side option is allowing streamers the ability to CHOOSE if their editors can start the feature or not as well for those that are not comfortable with the idea.

    Editors already have the ability to start a raid which is a very…

  2. For the past year, we have watched as the Twitch Black, Latin, and Women's Guilds have grown. Event recently, the Twitch Pride Guild was also announced. I would like to call for Twitch to create a Disabled Creators Guild to work with and uplift creators who have routinely been forgotten on Twitch.

    Disabled Creators are a growing population on Twitch, especially as many disabled creators recognize the easier form of work that comes with managing one's own schedule, working as much or as little as needed, and finding community with other creators; the latter point is the most vital for…

  3. So Stream-O-Ween is cool, but feels a little limited. For instance my chat wanted me to read some scary stories this month but Writing & Reading isn't included in Stream-O-Ween so I can't be in the category for what I'm doing, while also in Stream-O-Ween

  4. If you have watch streaks with multiple members of a stream together event, you shouldn't have to load each of the streamers individually to maintain your streaks.

  5. Based on who is following the rules correctly and sticking to their schedules also following moderation with their moderators and continuously put in at good streams I feel that person's channel should be rotated towards the upper echelon of people so they can be noticed as well instead of just the viewer count

  7. While watching a stream in full screen, I’d like to swipe left or right to browse other live channels without leaving the current stream. The current stream would keep playing while I scroll through live previews, and tapping one would instantly switch to that channel.

    This would make Twitch feel more like channel surfing on TV and make discovering new streamers much faster.

  8. According to Twitch support, this is how to submit a ticket for a bug report.

    My channel has been raided offline multiple times over the last few weeks. This shouldn't be happening and needs to be fixed.

  9. I've been instructed by Twitch Support to post my feedback on UserVoice. Please do not remove!

    I am currently (and involuntarily!) participating in a Twitch Experiment to test "new Hype Train kickoff triggers". It appears that instead of using a set number of support events (subs or 100+ bits), it will trigger based on chat activity.

    I cannot begin to express to you just how terrible of an idea this is.

    For the past 3+ weeks(!!!), I have had Hype Trains trigger out of the blue...when my primary supporters are nowhere to be found. As a result, I'm barely getting…

  10. hi,

    i'd like to propose an optional feature where streamers can decide to either toggle on/off viewer raid numbers when they go to raid out at the end of a stream.

    a lot of us streamers don't want to be constantly bombarded with numbers, stats etc. but the one we cannot hide/turn off is the raid number.

    it could be replaced with a "?" instead and then it would read "username is raiding with ? viewers" in the chat of the streamer you raid.

    not everyone would have to use it but i know it would help so many people…

  11. So here’s an idea I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I feel like it would actually help a ton with branding, professionalism, and the overall creator experience on Twitch.

    Twitch should offer creators an official email address like: CHANNEL@twitch.tv
    Something simple and clean that matches the channel name and represents the Twitch brand directly.

    Why This Matters
    Right now, almost every streamer uses @gmail or whatever personal email they made years ago for sponsorships, business inquiries, collaboration requests, etc. Being able to use an official @twitch.tv email would make us look more professional and also get the Twitch…

  13. Feature Concept:
    A dynamic viewing mode that allows users to watch up to three streams simultaneously within a single, customizable player window.

    Key Functionalities:

    Custom Layout: Users can select up to three different streams to be displayed in a tiled grid format on a single page.

    Seamless Switching (Single-Tap/Click): A single click on any of the active streams shifts the audio and focus to that specific broadcaster.

    Toggle/Minimize Mode (Double-Tap/Click):

    Double-click a stream to expand it to full-window mode for an immersive experience.

    Double-click again to minimize it back into the "Multi-View" grid, revealing the other two selected streams instantly.

  14. I’ve been a long‑time Twitch user and recently became deaf, and I’ve realized there’s no built‑in way for viewers to enable captions on live streams or VODs. Right now, the only way to get captions is if the creator manually sets up an OBS plugin or a third‑party captioning tool, which means console streams like PS5 have no options at all, and viewers are left with zero ways to follow the audio.

    This forces me to be stuck reading the chat and watching the streamer’s facial expressions to try to piece together what’s happening, which is exhausting and still leaves…

  16. Hello Twitch Product Team,

    Currently, all Twitch broadcasts are subject to a strict 48-hour continuous streaming limit, after which the ingest server automatically terminates the session. While this safety measure effectively prevents ghost streams and mitigates server load, it creates a major disruption for creators running legitimate multi-day subathons, charity marathons, or community events. Restarting a live stream mid-event leads to significant viewer drop-off, breaks chat momentum, and interrupts active subscription trains.

    To solve this without increasing manual moderation overhead, I am proposing the Dynamic Marathon Protocol (DMP)—a self-service, automated system built into the Creator Dashboard.

    KEY FEATURES & WORKFLOW:

  17. Currently, creators need to reach Twitch’s payout threshold before receiving their earnings. It would be useful if creators could optionally convert some or all of their available Twitch earnings into Amazon credit before reaching that threshold possibly through the spendable balance that already exists.

    This wouldn’t replace normal cash payouts. Creators who want cash could continue accumulating their balance and receive their normal payout, while creators who want to spend some earnings on Amazon could do so immediately.

    For example, if I had $40 in Twitch earnings, I could choose to use $30 as Amazon credit to purchase streaming equipment,…

  18. It would be a very nice addition to twitch if you let us claim our drops that we progressed on. It's not our fault if they limited it to 1 stream and that stream isn't on so you can't complete it, and then at the last day "oh yea you can watch any stream to get it" but most people are busy or already gave up on trying to get it.

    This is for drops that we only have progress on not drops we've never progressed or games we never play. (Drop claim history)

  19. Feature suggestion: Allow streamers to replace their live gameplay thumbnail with a custom static image or generic placeholder while appearing in game categories such as VALORANT.

    This would make it harder for opponents to identify their match by scanning live thumbnails for the same map, agent composition or gameplay situation.

    Streamers could optionally use a misleading thumbnail showing a different map, or choose to hide the preview entirely until viewers open the channel.

    This wouldn't eliminate stream sniping, but it could make finding the correct stream significantly more difficult without requiring a stream delay or compromising the live viewing experience.

  20. Twitch should add a customizable live “stream timeline” feature that creators can edit for each stream. This would allow viewers to instantly see what part of the stream is currently happening, what already happened, and what is planned next.

    Example:

    1. Discussing drama
    2. Ranked on main account
    3. Tournament watch party  3.1 Team 1 vs Team 2  3.2 Team 3 vs Team 4
    4. Tier list creation

    When viewers join streams late, they are often confused about what is happening or whether content they are interested in is still coming later. A timeline/roadmap system would improve stream organization and viewer retention.

    Features could…
