Reward mods for their communal service work! my idea is that mods are a backbone of the community on twitch and deserve a reward from twitch as most channels dont have the means to be very generous to their mods neither do moderators expect it often.
Therefor, i think it is a nice way to reward those mods by giving the streamer the option to award a mod with free channel emotes. restricted by subpoints of that channel, so, x amount of subpoints will enable x amount of mods to be given the full set of emotes that streamer has.
this way, a mod can feel rewarded…

Multiple sound channels that viewers can control Hello,
In my years of watching Twitch I have only thought of one major pitfall. That is - sound.
I watch my favorite streamers every night, but often have to mute the channel or turn it right down due to the music being too loud for my liking. This becomes annoying and frustrating because then I cannot hear the streamer speak.
This could easily be fixed by having a 2-3 sound channels that streamers can set up as they please. For example:
Channel 1 - linked to game
Channel 2 - linked to mic
Channel 3 - linked to music…

Allow Option to Block Raids from Offline Channels We have a few options to deny raids, based on various criteria. However, one that is notably missing is the option to deny raids from channels that aren't currently streaming.
Raiding from an offline channel is all-too-often used for trolling, hate raids, or advertising. While there ARE legitimate purposes for raiding from an offline stream (ie, OBS crashes), it would be nice to have the option in the settings to auto-deny offline raids, same as we can currently for low viewer counts, non-affiliate/partner, or minimum account age.

ability to toggle off default captions on clips Having the ability to turn off default captions on clips similar to the toggle for default publishing them would be great. The captions aren't great and some streamers don't want to use them so having to turn it off every time is a hassle

TV-Style Channel Surfing 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.

Markers Updates Markers need a serious update.
- All editors should be able to see the marker that was created in the chat feed
- Marker Creation & Edits should show up in the Mod Actions list
- Markers should have editable titles and be able to be dragged into a more correct location in the video review.
- Markers should be more visible when viewing the stream VOD for editors. Looking like a thumb tack would be helpful. Click on them and the title shows with an edit icon4 votes -
Live Stream Timeline / Roadmap Feature for Streams 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:
- Discussing drama
- Ranked on main account
- Tournament watch party 3.1 Team 1 vs Team 2 3.2 Team 3 vs Team 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…

Leaderboard Please have an option to turn off the scrolling bits/sub gifter bar. With the addition of sub plus points the scrolling of it is distracting wtih OBS open.

VOD progress bar highlights "memorable moments" It would be nice to see the most memorable/eventful parts of a stream by clicking on highlighted parts of a vod's progress bar.
It could correlate to when clips are made and authorized mods could also tag an eventful moment quickly.
Similar(?) to how the "most replayed" feature works on youtube. As far as how users interact with it.
Looking thru clips the way they exist now can be annoying/slow and there are often many similar clips of the same thing with often poor titles that provide no context. Im sure some people like watching 8hr long vods to see…

Accessibility for deaf people on Twitch 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…

Alert me when certain categories had a viewer/follower spike As a new streamer trying to find an audience*, one way that occurs to me to do so is by piggybacking off of popular variety streamers who happen to play a game I like. Viewers think the game is cool and want to watch more of it, but now the variety streamer in question has moved on to something else. I'd like to identify events like this for certain games or categories and be notified of them.
For example, I really like a game called "Drova: Forsaken Kin." It's not very well-known and as a consequence doesn't have much viewership.…

Browser Games Category Some variety streamers like to play games on Newgrounds or other browser-based game hosting sites. Seeing as these types of sites aren't traditionally allowed on IGDB-- it only makes sense for this to become its own Twitch category instead.

Add User Achievements (and new rewards) 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…

Lurkers need to be counted as viewers 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…4 votes -
Automatic Category Adjustment Bot Dear Twitch Team,
I would like to propose a feature that could greatly simplify category management for streamers. My suggestion is the development of a bot that automatically adjusts a stream’s category based on its current activity.
For example:
• If the streamer is playing Valorant, the category would automatically switch to Valorant.
• If the streamer is simply engaging with the chat, the category would switch to Just Chatting.This feature would be especially beneficial for streamers who do not have moderators available to manually update their categories during the broadcast. Automating this process would ensure more accurate categorization,…

Creator Dashboard:, Stream Manager, & Features For CONSOLE/MOBILE Creators & Their Channels/Streams I would just like to suggest that Twitch™ needs to try to integrate the stream settings, features, capabilities, & setup options way better for Console & Mobile Users/Streamers on those devices than what they currently have in effect, so those specific users can & will be able to set up their channels, edit their layouts, alerts, & everything else on their channel entirely from those specific devices without having to use a computer or without having to use a Capture Card.
I'm a console gamer & find it frustrating that no streaming platform is integrated to mobile or console gamers…4 votes -
Unearned hype trains are a bad idea! Chatters are wary to engage with ANY hype train now because they don't know if they're real or just a marketing ploy from Twitch, and they happen FAR too often.

Opt out of Drops for Viewers. Simply, Drops can be enabled or disabled by a channel. But Viewers have no such control.
I like to watch people playing games I'll never play.
I do not want to click away some 5-35 notifications daily about earning drops that I will never use.
Allow users to opt out if they do not want drops -or-
Let users opt out of specific games they do not want drops for -or-
Let users delete items from their inventory -or-
Let us disable the notifications for drops.Currently if all notifications on twitch are disabled.. you get notifications about Drops.
