Subbing to a stream team would be good, but for some reason I would wanna make it so you could sub to just the team for one price and get just the team emotes, or sub to the entire team (team + all the members) or sub to the team or just one member.

In that way you could get the team emotes, and the channel emotes of your favorite, or the team and all of the members, or just the team emotes.

And keep the tier system on the team like a tier 1 are just for the team. A tier 2 sub would be the team and one member, and a tier 3 sub would be the entire team (all the members and the team unique emotes) and all the members of that team gets a piece of the the sub payout regardless of the team sub the user chooses. That way each member gets something.

The team Charity: Events sounds like a good thing, lets say one team are doing something together, but each member of that team would have there own part be shown so we can easy see how much each member have done IF that streamer have chosen to show it. Otherwise there part just shows up as the entire team.

I miss the auto host function here on Twitch, regardless if it's in a team or just from one friend to an other so we users might get to see other streamers with similar content as we already follow (and sub to)

Team Hype Trains: That could trigger if more members are live at the same time, and the team gets subs on each channel who are live, and then split the earnings from the train on each member who are live at that moment. But the team train would only trigger if each member from that team (who are live at the same time) have an active train on there channel, and then triggers the team train thing, so each member already have a channel hype train and get there own earnings from that, and then the members who are live from that tram gets the earnings from the team hype trains.

And if we could follow the entire team as a whole instead (or as just a streamer) we could also get a separate list of our followed panel. Like: Followed Channels, Followed Teams, Recommended Channels and so on

So yes Twitch please bring back the function of the Stream Team.

I would love to see some sort of guild vs guild competition from time to time.

Yes I agree! the idea is amazing for polishing the current team system without it getting possibly terminated because it's not working to it's full potential.

Definitely an advocate for following the entire Stream Team, and being notified for when someone in that team goes live, instead of navigating to each individual page and following them. And with the new collab features on the site like knocking, having a team hype train could also be a cool implementation.

I agree with all of this. I don't like that only Partners can create teams as 1) becoming Partner is VERY difficult and near-impossible 2) it really has no reflection on their values as a whole, Partnership is about numbers more than anything. The people who NEED teams are Affiliates. I wouldn't even mind tiered team system or having specific requirements for Affiliates to create one (eg account age, community size, etc). At the very least I would like a Teams section that is open for applications because discovering them is hard and it's really intimidating to apply. As it is, you basically just have to notice a streamer who leads or is a member of a team, figure out if you'd be a good fit, find out if they're accepting apps, most aren't etc. Transparency about app requirements also would be great (eg if Twitch had a whole Teams browser section and one could peruse teams to discover new streamers, communities, etc., and filter by those accepting applications and whatnot).

Allowing and encouraging teams with even some of the suggestions here helps streamers to work together to produce and engage in events that in turn encourage more community engagement. This in turn helps Twitch by creating a more inviting user experience and driving more traffic to the platform to view these events. This would be a win for everyone.

Yes please. Allow us Affiliates to make ONE team. I'd love to have one focused on PG/PG13 Dinosaur game streamers primarily. I understand why Partners can have two, but let affiliates have ONE team creation ever. Get the second once you reach Partner or something.

As a new twitch viewer, I like the idea of stream teams being more available to non-partners.

Currently I find it difficult to discover streamers from Twitch itself, since there is a time burden for viewers to randomly click on a stream in a general category, possibly having to sit in the pre-rolls, before spending several minutes trying to figure out if that streamer's content is something you'd enjoy.

Having greater access and visibility for a way for streamers to passively recommend channels while they're offline (as opposed to sitting in a Livestream and seeing callouts, keeping in mind that callouts aren't available in VoDs), would be good way for viewers to discover content that they're more likely to enjoy when the viewer is available.

Streaming is very much a community centered event, and finding ways to bridge gaps between different live streams has always been something we as creators have tried to do. Everything from having shared visual assets to being in the same voice call to utilizing "multistream" websites so we can see different points of view at the same time, one thing we don't have access to do as third party users is make it FEEL first party. The suggestions outlined here are an incredible start to taking a feature like stream teams and making them into something that makes it even more of a community. It creates a bridge between communities and puts communities under a larger umbrella. I can't recommend starting with these suggestions enough. +1

I loved the Team Hype Train part.

I am currently a low level nobody, but this idea makes a lot of sense and comes from a guy that really knows his stuff and should be listened to because he really does have the best interest for this platform and it's users

So here are a couple thoughts as a partner and someone (slowly) working to put the pieces in place for a team.

Most of this I agree with yet see it difficult to implement effectively. I don't agree with the aspect of affiliates making teams simply because it goes the way of discord. If everyone can make their own team, everyone will make a team and then it circles back to the same age old discovery problem. Not only that, but there are plenty of ways to circumvent that and have seen plenty of teams set up by a partner only to be transferred to an affiliate streamer as they are no longer using it (or never intended on using it).

What is truly missing from this equation (in my opinion) is the squad streaming aspect (which is also locked behind the check mark). This program should be implemented within the team program instead giving members of a team the ability to stream together which could further support the event aspect mentioned.

Just my $.02

I love this idea and it would allow for affiliate DJs to do mini music festivals on Twitch which could be followed directly instead of having to follow every single account associated with the festival.

I can see TONS of useful applications for gaming streamers and social streamers alike. This is a great idea

I absolutely support this idea for a Twitch Stream Teams revamp! Linking teams in stream titles and allowing viewers to follow the whole team? Genius for visibility and community building. Letting Affiliates create teams? Inclusive and empowering for smaller streamers. Team emotes and charity events? Fantastic for engagement and giving back. And Team Hype Trains? A brilliant way to boost collaboration and excitement. This revamp could really rejuvenate a key Twitch feature, fostering a stronger, more connected streaming community. Let's make it happen! 🚀🎮👍 #ReviveStreamTeams

i think this idea bring a new light to team stream. It encourage team stream to be more engage like a charity event and a inifite hype train is definitely will be so fun to be a part of

100% love this idea. Stream Teams being limited to Partners who very rarely utilise the concept, other than by "advertising X company that they're a team of" is such a waste and WILL conclude in the removal of the feature. Opening the feature to Affiliates allows for more usage of the system, to either promote various concepts/ideas such as SMPs etc for various types of games. Would also act as a formidable replacement of the old Twitch Communities system, but with more control over who is added to the Team etc.

Allowing the Stream Teams to be more visible and be interacted with as it's own community is a great idea. Being able to follow teams like this would help elevate communities with high activity.

@AnEthernetCable i really love the idea of using a # as special character for mentioning teams. It's a really nice way of doing that (i think it's easier for us as a community to remember that one).

This is a great idea, I especially like the ability to mention stream teams in titles. Perhaps a special character such as `#` or `$` would be used to indicate it's not a user (and to not conflict with existing usernames)?

Smoothing out the ability to make stream teams would be huge, as well as opening them up to more people. Would aid some of the discoverability problems Twitch is currently facing.

A featured team icon (like the partner icon) could also prove beneficial. Either being added manually by Twitch, if the team manager is partnered, or if a member (or ratio of members) of the team is partnered.

With the current difficulty in discovering new creators without having to go through so much irrelevant or wildly innapropriate content, it would be nice to have more attention paid to systems that allow creators to signpost their allies and favourites.
