Hello Twitch Team,

I wanted to share an idea that I believe could greatly improve the viewing experience on Twitch.

Currently, stream audio is combined into a single audio mix, meaning viewers cannot individually adjust things like the streamer’s voice, game audio, music, Discord calls, or alerts. Because of this, some viewers may struggle to hear the streamer clearly, while others may prefer lower music volume or louder gameplay audio.

My suggestion would be to allow streamers to separate audio sources into individual channels/tracks that viewers could control independently during playback.

For example:

Streamer microphone
Game audio
Music
Discord/voice chat
Alerts and sound effects

This could provide several benefits:

Improved accessibility for viewers with hearing sensitivities
Better viewer retention and comfort
Cleaner esports and competitive viewing experiences
Greater customization for mobile users and headphones
Reduced complaints about unbalanced stream audio

I believe this could become a major quality-of-life feature that sets Twitch apart and modernizes livestream audio in a very user-friendly way.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
