When you are a partner in a chat, everyone can see the check mark and check you out if they want. As an affiliate, the only way for anyone to know that you stream is to tell them, which is often not allowed or frowned upon.

It would much easier for smaller creators to have something that shows them as a streamer, so curious parties can click and look, instead of having to go around telling people. It would be extremely helpful to smaller creators, and a relatively small thing to do.

When we chat, people should at a glance know we stream, without us having to be annoying about it.

A requirement for services like stream elements for example to upload their "browser sources" so they can be ran locally from Twitch instead of in a browser which is inefficient and kills performance. Basically a work around to eliminate the need for browser sources. To be clear I'm not saying browser sources should be stopped all together, I'm just saying that if a service has access to Twitch API and has features that use browser sources their should be an option to run those sourced on your channels back end to avoid performance issues and crashes but of course this can only happen if Twitch makes it a contractual requirement that any service using Twitch API must upload these sources so they can be made available on authorized users channel backends...

Wish there was a way to find out a channel's founders--whether it would be only accessible to the streamer or to any viewer. One simple way would be to make a "/founders" chat command that would list all of the channel's founders just like /mods command. Another way is to create a place within Stream Manager for the streamer to have access to the list of their founders.
The subscriber list you can download as an Excel file from Channel Analytics helps, but it does not list all of the founders. If a founder is not a sub for that specific time, the list would not include them.

It would be nice if people earned in their local currency and not in dollars.

I.e earnings in dashboard are converted to the market rate on that day from dollars to local currency.
Wouldn't be hard to do as many other sites do a similar thing.

Then we could get paid in our local currency saving us money as we currently get a really bad deal with fees and currency conversion fees.

At payout, people outside the USA get hit ******* currency conversions!
We have to pay higher fees to withdraw our earnings plus fees to convert to our local currency.

Also the fees for people outside the USA are much higher than for people in the USA as well (scroll down:) https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/affiliate-onboarding-guide#step4

As you've cited in your "How to Use Squad Stream" post: "We are rolling Squad Stream out to Partners first because of the need for video quality options (also known as transcodes) in order to ensure the best experience for viewers. Currently, all Twitch Partners receive video quality options on their streams by default, while Affiliates receive them as they're available, with priority access. Our plan is to make Squad Stream available to Affiliates and all other streamers as we continue expanding our transcodes capacity."

Many affiliates get transcodes already and should be able to Squad Stream, so I want so suggest the following:

1. Allow Affiliates with transcodes to create Squad Streams with each other. If they don't have transcodes, post a little notification that you're still rolling out transcodes and this feature is still in testing (because technically it is)




2. Allow Affiliates and Partners to Squad Stream with each other if eligible (i.e.
   have transcodes).

Hope to be able to Squad Stream with my friends soon :)
