  1. 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.

  2. Customizable json object for Channel Points API.

    The channel I mod for has a channel point prize for adding a song to a warm up playlist. It would be good if we had the ability to set keys and values on the message that gets sent for the channel point redemption message. So I could set like "reward: song" and then "url: {whatever the url is}" etc.

  3. Moderators (or editors?) have access to Channel Points menu.

    The streamer that I mod for is busy being entertaining and streaming and keeping viewers excited, and they don't have time to go through and queue up songs for the playlist (one of the new channel point prizes we have in our channel). It would be helpful if mods had the ability to access the same interface as the streamers get, to help out.

  4. Chat Polls give Channel Points

    Chat polls are a super fun way to keep chat engaged and excited about whats happening in the community and on screen, and it would be cool to have at least a small channel point incentive for participating.

  5. Allow streamers to set two categories

    Some games have long waits or queue times, allow streamers to set a main game and a side game

  8. Channel Points events that don't need fulfilling

    Right now, all custom events require being fulfilled in the rewards manager, however, I believe there would be cases where this process would not be necessary. A number of people, such as myself have already worked on programatically tying these events to do actions elsewhere. Instead of having to, manually or automatically marking these off through the API, it would make more sense if these events did not have any entries within the queue

  9. Channel Points Reset

    The option to RESET channel points would be nice, game I play EFT have something like seasons (wipes), in late game i letting people to ask for throw of grenade and other more or less expensive (in game) rewards, at the beginning of season (wipe) I would get poor in few seconds, so please let me reset points they have, so they will have to earn new ones for rewards
    Can you make that option for us?

  10. Most Active Chatters Badge

    A badge that shows who are the most active chatters of all time in your stream will be awesome. As chatters are so important to streamers, streamers really appreciate chatters. So there should be a badge that shows the top 10 most active chatters of all time. As this will highlight the people that are always engaging with the streamer and putting their time into your streams.

  11. loyal follower badge

    I think the first 1st Sub badge is a really good idea, but i feel like there should also be a 1st follower badge to show the people that have been there since u have have started, so maybe a badge for the 10 or 20 followers of each channel to show that they have been supporting from the very beginning as maybe they are not to subscriber to show support but still followed u at the very start.

  12. New Option For Channel Points

    Channel Points...I love them already. I do. I'm using them as I'm typing here. One great idea though imo...I really would like it even better if Twitch gave us a bunch of random icons to choose from to use with each custom reward we have. I don't have any custom icons and as a gamer, streamer, and upcoming holiday lover, I don't know about you but, I don't have the money to pay for a bunch of icons at different resolutions to be honest lol. I KNOW alot of streamers will love to have this option as well. My first idea. I think it's a great start :)

  13. Community gift chests

    Yesterday i had this issue with the Community Gift Chests on my stream and i think this could be a cool suggestion to implement for the streamers who use this feature.

    I am a caster of Rainbow Six: Siege and this month we had a Twitch Prime exclusive skin for one of the operators of the game. Prime users could add their skins on the chest and i tried to collect as many as possible for my next cast day. When i wanted to give all the skins (167 in total) i was unable to do so, because the action with the Rainbow Six Siege skin was over. There goes my suggestion: Would be cool if there was a timer or countdown so we can clearly see when the promotion is ending, and we can make sure that we distribute the chest before it's lost.

  15. Let Affiliates & Partners change their emote names without resubmitting them

    Being forced to delete an emote and reupload it for approval is unnecessary if we just want to change its name. For example, naming an emote "prefixLul" and later wanting it to be "prefixLUL" means deleting the emote and going a week or two without it while you wait for the exact same thing to be reapproved. The benefits of having a name changing option would be:

    A) The new name can enter the approval queue while the emote is still usable under its old name.

    B) Approving a name, rather than an emote and a name, is half as much work for those in charge of the approval process.

  16. Polls feedback / improvements

    Polls is a great system however there could be some improvements

    1) longer running polls - 5, 10, 60 or indefinite (broadcaster stops poll)
    2) browser source customisation / improvement - it's currently a little bit hacked together with no real thought. like if added to OBS how am i meant to change whats being displayed?
    3) there should be an API available for this (speaking from a developer standpoint)

  17. Different time settings for Gifted Sub Leaderboard vs Bit Leaderboard

    Allow for the Bit and Gifted Sub leaderboard to have different time settings, so you could set your Gifted Sub leaderboard to show the all-time leader in gifted subs and have your bit leaderboard still reset weekly/monthly.

  19. Adjustable Raid Volume

    When ending stream and raiding another streamer, let us suggest or adjust the volume for everyone joined in the raid. I'd love to be able to raid and set everyone's volume to like 10% on the stream we visit. If they are awake, they can adjust it back themselves. If they are asleep, they won't be disturbed. (Maybe don't let the volume adjust take effect if the viewer has the stream muted already).

  20. Future Twitch Idea

    Future Twitch Project?

    Strategic Games Interface Watch - "SGIW"

    'Caster can via hand control controller? or maybe mouse of course but it could be a bit to sensitive.

    'Viewers Watch through Oculus Rift S V R set -ish ?

    Okay if you guys have the funds to invest, could you further invest in partnership with:
    Blizzard's "SC2
    and Riot Games new "TFT"
    or maybe... the AOE games ?
    It would further increase your capital if you find the means to make your own controller with direct connection to twitch partners.

    I don't know if you already are planning this, but it could be nice :D
