  1. So it'd be one singular category for anything typed in that doesn't line up with another pre-existing stream category/topic that's able to be set. And it'd be whatever is typed but appended with "(*Custom Category)" following whatever they set.

    When viewers search for categories they'd have to set it to custom and then type in what they look for. And then the named results would specifically apply to anything under the custom category and only show stuff that's been set to a custom one (with whatever they typed being the thing that's searched for first - within what streamers have…

  2. währe es um Betrug und unabsichtliche Unruhe zu vermeinen nicht Gut wen man Stream Together entweder nur beitreten kann wenn die Kategorien übereinstimmen und wenn ein Teilnehmer die Kategorie wechselt Sie/er eine Wahrung bekommt das das so nicht richtig ist. und nach 2min die Verbindung trennt? oder dann der Wechsel gar nicht möglich ist?. wir hatten die tage einige die meinten die Funktion zu nutzen ohne wirklich gemeinsam etwas zu machen. wir haben den einen von denen mal darüber aufgeklärt das das so nicht rechtens ist um nur die Zuschauerzahl in die höhe zu treiben.

  3. Allow twitch streamers to post a list of games they have as their top games they play in their rotation. then suggest them to viewers of other streamers in the same category to gain followers when the streamer isnt live. or suggest their vod/clips etc. I think this would encourage a person to stream more if they get offline follows, video hits with some email notification, etc.

  4. Please make your clipping feature more accurate. At this time, every time you make a clip, it tends to move the actual clipped scene forward by like one second after uploading. This makes it annoying to capture the intended full clip. Thank you.

  5. Problem / Pain Point:
    Console gamers can currently stream only to Twitch (or sometimes YouTube) directly. To reach multiple platforms at once, they need a PC and a capture card, which is expensive, complicated, and limits audience growth. This makes it difficult for console creators to expand their reach and share gameplay across multiple platforms.

    Proposed Solution / Idea:
    Allow console users to select multiple platforms when going live from their PS4, PS5, or Xbox. For example, they could stream to Twitch and simultaneously broadcast to TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram. This could be built into the Twitch console app or…

  6. It would be great if Twitch continued to offer events like the discount promotions that streamers can set themselves, and also allowed them to combine platform-wide discounts. If that's not possible, it would be nice if individual streamers could decide for themselves whether or not they want to participate in platform-wide promotions. Of course, since I assume Twitch has a contract or something similar with each campaign, it would be enabled by default, and streamers who don't want it because they have another event, placement, etc., planned for that day would have to take action themselves. They would then have…

  7. Allow streamer to track and see viewer watch streaks, so we can create rewards for long streaks etc. Maybe allow for channel point distribution to them or sub/bit discounts we can setup or maybe create special emote we can award to those with long streaks. We need to be able to see how many each user has(if they opt in to share them). Otherwise the share in chat doesn't provide anything to the viewer.
    Another idea is have preset auto rewards, something else but extra channel points, maybe as mentioned above, special emote.

  8. Social media badges given for sharing streamer content on other platforms. Users end up just using your content to get views on youtube etc and the "#" that shows its your content and not theirs doesn't bring new followers or fans. Yes, you can disable the feature altogether, but that disallows any share! Can twitch require a direct link to twitch channel when streamer's content is used to get the person sharing (not content creator) views on other platforms?

  9. 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…

  10. Gamify the platform more. A large portion of the userbase is gamers.

    Functionally, users engage better when they have objectives and rewards. Currently the backend has an achievement system for streamers to allow them to have benchmark goals to reach for their stream.

    So to capitalize on that, expanding the Drops & Rewards to include Achievements for both users and Streamers. Currently Streamer metrics are what the driving force behind available streamer achievements.

    This entire system would need rewards to be a driving force for users to engage with. Emotes, badges, nameplates, titles, profile pic frames, platform themes. This is…

  11. Hello dear Twitch team,

    I have an idea that could help larger streamers in particular to better bridge downtime and keep viewer numbers stable: How about a kind of integrated “buffer” function for short connection interruptions or PC crashes?

    Problem: When a stream suddenly drops for a major streamer, viewer numbers drop dramatically because many viewers leave. This is not only bad for the streamer, but also for Twitch, because viewers may migrate to competitors or leave altogether.

    Solution: An optional feature that automatically plays a predefined video or short loop (e.g., “Be right back”) when the stream is interrupted,…

  12. Please add the ability to filter / block tags in search results when looking through live channels of any given game.

    I don't want to see PNG / VTubers and delusional people who think they're something they aren't.

  13. I wish the filter options weren't limited to "following, "people of similar or smaller size," etc..I have to have already organically found people on Twitch to follow. I want to be able to share the community with people who have taken the time to give my channel a follow, but unless I gave everyone who follows me a follow back, then I will never know that one of my followers is live when I'm ready for another streamer to entertain the crowd. I just think that a "people who follow you" filter would be a nice addition that could allow…

  14. Let there be an option for raids to not affect our recommended streams in browse. For, example because of a single raid now my recommended feed is full of streamers I have no interest in as far as what I usually watch. Now I'm sitting here clicking on 'Not Interested' on all of them until it fixes my 'Recommended For You'.

  15. While many of us appreciate the Stream Streaks feature being rolled out en masse to the creator userbase, there is a growing consensus that the notifications saying "X viewers are at risk of losing their streaks with your channel. Post Stories & Clips from your livestream to help save their streak." are annoying and hold no bearing on whether or not we as creators will actually jump on these "opportunities". There's been discussion among my peers considering simply turning the Stream Streaks feature off altogether just to avoid getting these messages, as they feel manipulative into pushing the creator to…

  16. It is very questionable to take away the support the lurkers give. I know a lot of people lurk in many streams and watch them in intervals, jumping from stream to stream. This is especially bad for small streamers, that are now losing their view numbers because of this. Max two streams at the same time to be counted as a viewer, is diabolical.
    This will hurt the small streamers in many ways;
    -Decreased numbers will destroy motivation and so small streamers will start quitting and their affiliate subscriptions will cease. (statistically there are more small affiliate streamers than big…

  19. I use to stream trove pretty frequently, and the majority of viewers are there for the drops, and for some reason the drops haven’t been active for most streamers.
    Past few days the Trove section has been dead because of this, and I’d like to continue streaming the drops for my viewers. As most of them weren’t able to get their rewards for last week.

  20. Accounts banned from one streamer who is streaming together with others should not be banned from posting in the chat boxes of the streams they are NOT banned in. Maybe some kind of option where their messages dont show in the chat of the streams they are banned in.
