1. Community Tab Feauture

   Twitch needs to implement a community tab feature like YouTube has. Where streamers can update their viewers on schedule changes, announcements, etc. instead of hoping that your Twitch followers also follow you on another social media platform. This would be a HUGE positive addition because us streamers can keep our viewers up to date with anything that changes within our schedule. Please consider.

2. Add Sub to Streamer's Bot

   I would love to have my chat bot be able to show some emote love when a person subscribes. However, right now it seems I would need to sub to myself as my bot. It would be great if at least one bot can have a free sub like how the Affiliated streamer receive one sub.

3. Split audio channels for the viewers.

   How it currently works is that the broadcaster outputs their audio with the single channel for the viewer to listen to, but as an opt-in feature the broascaster could output two or more audio channels, an example being one for microphone, one for game sounds, and maybe even one for music if the broadcaster plays music.

   To enable said tweeking it would be located under the advanced features to enable 'Split-Audio Channels', and therefore would allow the user to - rather than mute - click the speaker icon to allow the list of audio channels that the broadcaster is using.

   This would the following:

   User A likes to listen to the broadcaster and the game sounds, so they enable channel 1 and 2, but disable music.

   User B decides that they don't fancy listening to the broadcaster for whatever reason and can mute their audio and just listen to game sounds & music, or either or.

   This allows for fine tuning listening for those who want to be able to do so.

   Would have to be opt-in from broadcaster side too via the settings and would have to also be set-up in the software.

4. Mark Follower/Sub-only Streams

   When looking for people to raid, it's hard to tell who uses exclusive chats like Sub-only or Follower-only. I think this could easily be fixed by adding a little icon or label that marks ALL streams that are follower-only, sub-only, or open to everyone.

5. Lifetime subscription options for Affiliates and Partners in dashboard

   So we know that Partner's get a way to give a lifetime subscription to 2 bot accounts and 3 other users, I was hoping that this could be extended with a role kind of permission that would allow affiliates to be able to gift it to their bots as well. This would make life so much easier for affiliates and let partner's know that this is an option as many don't know about it already and this would make it clear for everyone and less maintenance from the partner management team to let us manage it ourselves.

   For implementation, you could have it such that once the lifetime sub is removed from a user, they have to wait 30 days before they can re-issue the role to allow for the lifetime sub to time out for the next month.

   Even if Affiliates could only gift 1 lifetime sub, it would be incredible to be able to do.

6. Chat QUIZ

   Give streamers/mods the possibility to create quizzes that involve viewers' participation; ideally for pre-shows, but not only.
   Similar to bets, questions must appear in the chat, and everyone can participate.

   How it works:

   CREATION

   The streamer/mod compiles preliminary information about the quiz:
   - A descriptive title for the quiz
   - A participation fee (in channel points).
   - The maximum number of winners. Default is 3. At least 1. (see below for prize computation)
   Then, the streamer/mod compiles a "list" of questions. Each question must have:
   - A description (the question itself). Differently from bets, questions can be longer than 60 chars. The ideal is at least 200.
   - A list of choices. Different from bets, choices can be more than 2. The ideal would be up to 4.
   - A fixed time limit to answer. After the time has elapsed, it will no longer be possible to answer.
   Due to its complexity, a quiz should be able to be created at any moment (not necessarily only during a live stream) and stored in the channel. Also, it can be modified/reviewed at a later time.

   INITIALIZATION

   The quiz can be "initialized" at any moment by the streamer/mod after the streamer goes live.
   On the top of the chat, a new banner appears, with the descriptive title of the quiz.
   This phase allows users to understand that a quiz is going to start; they can see the COST for the participation and a button to subscribe to the game.
   Clicking on the button, the user pays the participation fee and acquires the ability to answer the upcoming questions.

   THE FIRST QUESTION

   At any moment, the streamer/mod can trigger the first question.
   Then, the chat banner changes, showing the question and the available options. Also, a timer indicating the remaining time for the question is present. Unlike bets, players CAN'T see the number/percentage of users that choose an answer rather than another.
   Users that have subscribed are now free to answer;
   All other users in the chat can just see the question and the available options, without being able to interact with the banner.
   Once one of the possible answers has been chosen, the player CAN'T change it.

   THE NEXT QUESTIONS

   Once the time for the question has elapsed, the correct answer is shown to everyone. Possibly, the head of a temporary classification can be shown (for example the first 3 players, based on their current/temporary score. See below for score computation)
   The start of the next question must be triggered by the streamer/mod. There are no constraints on how much time can pass between two consecutive questions of a quiz. Also, bets or other chat interactions can be executed between questions belonging to the same quiz, like during a poll.
   The player waits until the next question starts, and so on until the end of the game.

   ENDING

   After the last question is answered, the banner changes one last time, showing the names of the participants at the top of the leaderboard (for example the first 3 positions).
   Winners receive a prize (in story points) depending on their score (position on the leaderboard).

   ---

   SCORE COMPUTATION

   How is the score computed?
   - Wrong answers give 0 points.
   - Right answers give a certain amount of points depending on two factors:
   - How much time has passed from the start of the question. The shorter the time, the more points will be gained.
   - Correct streak. Consecutive correct answers give the user a positive multiplier to the acquired score points.
   The amount of gained points by each player defines the leaderboard. The player with the higher score is the absolute winner. Depending on the quiz configuration, a certain number of players can be considered winners (default is the first 3 players in the classification)

   PRIZE COMPUTATION

   The total sum of channel points collected from the participation cost will be distributed to the winners in different quantities, depending on their position on the leaderboard and the total number of winners.
   An example of how the computation can work (just a simple proposal):
   If the winning player is only 1, it takes the entire prize.
   In case of 3 winners:
   - the 3rd takes 16.66% (1 part over 6)
   - the 2nd takes 33.33% (2 parts over 6)
   - the 1st takes 50% (3 parts over 6)
   The prize is shared proportionally among the winners based on their position.
   This way every winner takes the double of the player under it in the leaderboard.

   Give streamers/mods the possibility to create quizzes that involve viewers' participation; ideally for pre-shows, but not only.
   Similar to bets, questions must appear in the chat, and everyone can participate.

7. MOD/VIP notifications when they enter a stream

   Streamers should get notifications when their MODs or VIPs enter their chat.

   This enables the streamer to give recognition as well as take solace in knowing that the chat is being monitored.

8. Increase Disconnect Protection Time to 5 Minutes

   I think the Disconnect Protection feature is a life saver in a lot of situations - but there are times where the current 90 seconds is not enough to recover.

   In a case where a computer blue screens, it feels like a race to reboot, load up the streaming software and continue the stream.

   Modems that also need a reset can take 2-3 minutes to connect online, and many routers (at least that I've owned) take a long time to restart and give online access again too.

   A 5 minute window would make the recovery process a lot less stressful.

9. Have a /noraid {time} command

   Need a short way to disable inbound raids for a nominated number of minutes.
   Proposed use-case: Im streaming and I know I will end in say 10 mins. It benefits no-one if a raid-in occurs during that last10 mins. Being able to issue a short command to temporarily disable Allow raids would be quite utility in nature
   At the end of the time specified the raid settings as per channel settings would be restored

10. Streamer can gift 3 subs per month to any viewer but don't get revenue for it. Okay so, some people can't afford to pay 5$ a month to help

    So for example: I give a tier 1 sub to a viewer. The streamer should be able to gift 3 subs per month to any viewer they choose but the streamer can not get revenue from it. They get 3 per month and it resets every month

11. Only Allow Logged In Viewers to Watch Stream

    Allow creators to restrict viewing of their streams to logged in users only. As an option, this would help address hate raiders who get banned and continue to watch in incognito. Effectively preventing banned users from seeing the stream.

    And, at the same time would give creators a simple tool to better control how their content is viewed. For example, if they were creating Mature content and wanted to add their own limitation on consumption.

    Provide similar messaging to what is available on logged out Subscriber Streams which say "USER is streaming for 'registered users', Sign up now to join in: Watch the stream and participate in chat." Then a button to create an account.

13. Allow a radio style Program on Twitch.

    I would love to take my internet radio show, which is pretty popular, to twitch. I would obtain my own ASCAP license so there wouldn't be any copyright infringement. This show could be the start of a new offshoot of Twitch. It could also be a way for regular twitch streamers to bring the audio from the "twitch radio" channel into their own and it not be muted on rebroadcast and music can be played legally on twitch.

15. Create an Active Followers statistic

    My suggestion is to create an "Active Followers" statistic which tracks the number of followers who have re-visited a channel in the past 30 days that can be understood as a single number and discussed as the more important number, for example "The channel you are watching has 1000 followers, 200 of them active".

    Currently: the bare count of a channel's followers provided is not as helpful as it could be.... does not help communicate to streamers and their viewers how well channel is doing with building and maintaining a community, as the bare Follower count includes people who followed but then never really come back.

    Alternatively... Have the followers list include for each follower a "Date last watched" datapoint and show several activity statistics such as "Followers Active in the past 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, etc" Or a "Follower activity chart" people can use to help understand the size of a channel's loyal following.

19. Support Moderators

    Moderators seem like the unsung heroes of Twitch. Especially for daily IRL streamers, they put in hours upon hours of work sifting through message after message and making sure harmful content does not seep through the cracks. They filter out any flame wars and make sure that the members in chat have an enjoyable experience. Yet very few moderators make compensation for their efforts. And none make anywhere near the amount the streamers they moderate for do. Therefore, why not provide some type of incentive for moderators to keep putting in the work? Why not either provide them with a small percentage of any bits or subs that are given to the streamer or make it possible for followers to donate bits to a moderator? Twitch takes a whopping 50% of all subscribers. Why not provide a tiny percent of that to the people that are putting in work daily behind the scenes? I mean it is almost laughable that this was not factored in already.

20. Deepen & Improve "What My Viewers Like to Watch" Analytics

    The feature in channel analytics -- "What categories do my viewers like to watch?" -- seems like it does not update daily. But, in general, we could use more information and focus on this, period.

    Regarding the first request, can we get assurance this is updated daily, and if not can we make it daily? Knowing what our viewers like to watch and being able to continue to serve that is, perhaps, the most important metric of all. Having observed the metrics, it appears to me this data get a weekly refresh and then is only an average of those last 7 days. If, true, that boils down to only getting 4 updates per month, which is only so helpful.

    If anything, viewers change their habits in real-time and trends happen. Ex. if they are all watching Tarkov because of the Drops, or they are watching GTA because of a new DLC (which you didn't notice), these trends must happen fast.

    Additionally, we need more definition on what one of these "viewers" are as well. According to Twitch it's the following: ..."This shows the top games/categories viewed across all of your viewers. These are games that you may want to consider incorporating into future streams."

    So, what is a viewer? Are they all of your followers? Are they someone that's viewed your stream actively within some period of time? But does it include non-followers?

    As we can imagine, I'm sure many creators would want to know information about engaged viewers of their streams, but also subscribers and tippers, for example. Without getting in the weeds, this is just a note of the potential depth or prioritization that could be useful. I'd have a lot of ideas there (as well as metrics as whole).

    SUMMARY: Is "What My Viewers Like to Watch" being updated daily? What is a "viewer" defined as? What will it take to prioritize this as a potential feature update to deepen?
