Reduce the Time Between Using /Shoutout Command in Chat
The /shoutout command is probably one of the best features added to Twitch given the fact that Twitch is aiming for creators to support fellow creators. However, a gripe I've seen creators have is the duration between its uses. 2 minutes may not seem like a long time, however a lot can happen within the span of 2 minutes. Chats are often very active, bringing in new people in an instant. Friends, raiders, or people who the streamer adores may enter.
Due to the frequent and everchanging nature of Twitch chat, 2 minutes is too long for them. They opt to instead not use Twitch's intended feature and would rather use bot commands since they can be used more instantaneously. Using in chat bot commands does not seem to have as far of a reach as the /shoutout command.
Please reduce the time between shoutouts, preferably between 30 seconds to 1 minute. More streamers will be likely to use the feature if the time between shouting out individual users is reduced. Additionally, maybe make toggle-able for the duration of shoutouts?

I agree! I feel that the cooldown should be around 60 seconds at most, instead of 2 minutes, especially for fast-moving chats where multiple creators can join closely together.
