  1. When a broadcaster announces a broadcast at a specific time he can set a timer on the stream page - this way I can know when the stream starts when the time is given in different time zone

    Love this idea as well. Definitely going to consider this one!

  2. I run a stream that has a variety of different maturity levels, and it would be fantastic if you could opt-in to a ratings system similar to movie ratings.

  3. Hi my name is Krillin and today I am writing this post as an idea for a new Twitch Guild. I've been on Twitch for almost 7 years and a partner for 6 and over those years the Twitch Guild program is absolutely one of the best ideas that I think Twitch has had. With this program being so new, obviously not everyone could be included into the Guilds, but I just wanted to present an idea for a possible new guild for people like myself and countless others. The Invisible Disability Guild.

    I'm a type-1 diabetic and have been…

  4. Hello, In light of JK Rowlings constant reminders that she hates trans people, trans women specifically, I think this is a good opportunity to change the image partners receive when accepted to something that isn't a Harry Potter reference. It would be wonderful if it is either a reference to a trans woman's work or made by a trans person. Maybe a matrix reference?

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. I use subtitles while broadcasting, this way I can communicate with deaf friends, I think a plug-in should be added for broadcasters who use these programs in my filter section and add a plug-in in twitch.

  8. It's SUCH an amazing feature and I could see SO much use for this for normal streams (like dev streams, where you could have one view exclusively on the code, or such things).

    PLEASE make this available to normal streams.

  9. 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…

  10. Audio Channels:

    Add and allow different audio channels on a stream to be muted or change their volume so people can change to their liking.
    This would allow streams with background music to be adjusted on the fly, or if you just want to hear the streamer and nothing else you could mute music + gameplay to only hear the talk, or maybe you want to silence the alerts because you find them annoying.

    With this, more content creators would be able to stream the way they like, while also allowing customization for the watching party to fit their liking.

  11. While many of us appreciate the Stream Streaks feature being rolled out en masse to the creator userbase, there is a growing consensus that the notifications saying "X viewers are at risk of losing their streaks with your channel. Post Stories & Clips from your livestream to help save their streak." are annoying and hold no bearing on whether or not we as creators will actually jump on these "opportunities". There's been discussion among my peers considering simply turning the Stream Streaks feature off altogether just to avoid getting these messages, as they feel manipulative into pushing the creator to…

  12. 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…

  13. As a bisexual disabled person, I do love the support the LGBT community is getting. Wouldn't it be great to take it a step further? About 16% of the world population is disabled in some way, and introducing a feature on Twitch dedicated to Disability Pride Month would be a powerful step towards inclusivity and representation within the streaming community. People with disabilities are often underrepresented in mainstream media, including Twitch. By dedicating a platform to Disability Pride Month, Twitch can amplify the voices of disabled streamers.

    This would promote diversity, and help to educate those that are unaware of…

  14. Have a mid tier, the requirements to join partner are very high but lock sooo many features and sub badges with that i suggest a middle tier witch could have a minimum followers of 100, viewer average of 12-20 or smthn along those lines and give those people the ability to squad stream & unlock more emotes without being a partner.

  15. As a streamer i can stream on OBS with up to 5 diff tracks, Track 1 Game Volume, Track 2 Mic, Track 3 Music.

    What i would love to see is as a viewer display those 3 tracks so i can mute or lower volume of the music but hear the game and streamer, or mute the streamer to listen to the game ect. i feel this shouldn't be too difficult and would massively improve the experience for myself and many others, i think.

  16. In the Dashboard, allow us to enable and disable Sub Gifting or Multi-Sub Gift Bombs in our channel.

    This has many uses, and I'd love to hear what others would use this for as well (more feedback the better).

    • Moves support focus towards Bits/Cheering instead of Gifted Subs (especially with Hype Chat functions moving to Bits/Cheering)
    • Prevents people missing out on being able to sub themselves because they got a gift in a gift sub bomb
    • Disincentives people from 'never subscribing' because they "always get gifted anyways"
    • Could be used by those pushing for Partner Plus,…

  18. We really should be able to rename and re-organize our own emotes, without having to constantly remove/add them back to our respective emote libraries.

    For streamers that have a ton of seasonal emote variants, this would be super useful... I always felt like it's a bit backward, to always being forced of reuploading.

    Please please please consider adding those two features, I know a lot of perfectionist people like me would appreciate it so very much...!

  19. 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…

  20. With the increase of soft **** and people advertising their OnlyFans, Pornhub or whatever else, I'd like to block Just Chatting, Art, Pools and all the other categories that are used to stream soft **** and are better placed on other platforms than Twitch.

    Another idea would be to do the blocking based on tags.
