Custom Thumbnails
Browsing Twitch is incredibly difficult due to the lack of personality shown in titles and randomly generated thumbnails. Titles only allow so many characters in the preview and auto-generated thumbnails don't tell any sort of story about a streamer.
I believe with custom thumbnails, it'd give streamers the opportunity to showcase their content at a glance.
When we think of custom thumbnails, I believe we all think clickbaity YouTube videos, and that's a real concern we may have for custom thumbnails. But I believe Twitch users browse differently than YouTube.
On Twitch, we are looking for a very specific type of content. Once that content ends, that's it, unless you're raided somewhere. When we browse, we already know what we're looking for, it's just choosing the person providing that content. An easy at a glance way to see if you might vibe with a streamer is their thumbnail.
You could tell this from their art style, the information given, if a "meta" is being used.
There's a lot of opportunities for custom thumbnails to make it easier for viewers to connect with their new favorite streamer.
