2. A follower anniversary

   Much like resubbing to a channel, I would think a follower versary would be a cool to see every year with the ability to write a message in there. (example: Username has been following for 12 months. Hype. Share your message.) It dont have to be over the top kind of thing.

3. Auto detect games

   Are there auto-detect games because I don't want to go back to twitch and change the category to a different game. People can choose to either auto-detect or not.

4. A feature to deactivate the following button temporarily if anyone have problems with bots following them

   Some streamers have problems with bots that keep following them,

   my idea is to add a new feature to deactivate the following button of their channel temporarily to avoid any bots from following them.

5. pay for a rebroadcast

   Now to see a rebroadcast like a video in twitch of a sub only video channel. We need to sub.

   But if we want to see one rebroadcast of a channel and one of an other and an other... We need to sub 3 times or more and more.

   But you can make a feature for that, the principle is to pay 1$ or 1.5$ for a rebroadcast to see more of them. Basically today I'm sub of 3 channels but I want to see 3 events in rebroadcaster sub only but I don't want to pay 15$ for just 3 rebroadcast.

   So this feature make me see what I want and I think a lot of crators will be happy with that !

   Thanks for reading me.

   ps : be kind with my english I'm french Ahah.

6. Give more tools to streamers to ensure their mature content doesn't reach inappropriate audiences.

   Give us the ability to receive only viewers that have verified their account, or enabled 2FA. Require a birthday to be set for said accounts and allow the streamer to set the minimum allowed age.
   Currently we only have the ability to label our stream with "Mature" and require a viewer to click on "view stream", this does not actually keep out inappropriate audiences this only protects Twitch's liability and that of the streamer, which while being a good thing can be so much better.
   Not only would this help in regards to protecting minors, this would also protect streamers from bot accounts, and ban evaders.

7. Costream/multistream

   I think a great way of helping the community grow and helping people grow is by adding the option to stream together on the same screen. By inviting a channel to stream with you on your channel, you, in turn, stream on their channel as well and you end up sharing viewership and growing together with your friends. A great way of doing it is by looking at the multistre.am website and going to layout 4, or by joining both chats together so that both you, and your partner can interact with the chat together without having the problem of each streamer talking to his own chat while being heard on the other's stream.
   It also might help retain viewers for longer and the chat might end up interacting with the streamers more often.

8. Add a TwitchMusic channel to the platform which streams 24/7, highlighting various music streams from within Music & Performing Arts.

   It would be a great way for musicians on Twitch to be discovered if there were a TwitchMusic channel which highlighted a new music streamer from the Music & Performing Arts category every 15 minutes, in particular "Live Performance" (not the 24/7 radio stations that violate TOS which dominate the category).

   This would be a nice way for people to discover new live music streams, and it would work similar to the ChannelOne channel on the Mixer streaming platform.

10. Reward mods for their communal service work!

    my idea is that mods are a backbone of the community on twitch and deserve a reward from twitch as most channels dont have the means to be very generous to their mods neither do moderators expect it often.

    Therefor, i think it is a nice way to reward those mods by giving the streamer the option to award a mod with free channel emotes. restricted by subpoints of that channel, so, x amount of subpoints will enable x amount of mods to be given the full set of emotes that streamer has.

    this way, a mod can feel rewarded for their helping hand making the streamer experience better and chat a place where there is inforcement of the streamers rules as well as twitch rules that may apply.

    as a bonus, these mods will always have the ability to use these emotes in any channel and surely help promote the channels they mod for.

11. Multiple sound channels that viewers can control

    Hello,

    In my years of watching Twitch I have only thought of one major pitfall. That is - sound.

    I watch my favorite streamers every night, but often have to mute the channel or turn it right down due to the music being too loud for my liking. This becomes annoying and frustrating because then I cannot hear the streamer speak.

    This could easily be fixed by having a 2-3 sound channels that streamers can set up as they please. For example:

    Channel 1 - linked to game
    Channel 2 - linked to mic
    Channel 3 - linked to music

    Viewers could then double click the sound symbol to access the “sound mixing”, to allow each person to determine the level of each channel.

    Streamers could also have the option to just set up everything under the same channel, as normal, if they so prefer.

    This would benefit streamers AND viewers. At least in my case, I’d watch some streamers a lot more if I could change the sound levels to my preference.

    This has already been mentioned, but it needs to be mentioned again!!! Huge missed opportunity to improve the Twitch experience!

    Thanks

12. ability to toggle off default captions on clips

    Having the ability to turn off default captions on clips similar to the toggle for default publishing them would be great. The captions aren't great and some streamers don't want to use them so having to turn it off every time is a hassle

13. TV-Style Channel Surfing

    While watching a stream in full screen, I’d like to swipe left or right to browse other live channels without leaving the current stream. The current stream would keep playing while I scroll through live previews, and tapping one would instantly switch to that channel.

    This would make Twitch feel more like channel surfing on TV and make discovering new streamers much faster.

14. Markers Updates

    Markers need a serious update.
    - All editors should be able to see the marker that was created in the chat feed
    - Marker Creation & Edits should show up in the Mod Actions list
    - Markers should have editable titles and be able to be dragged into a more correct location in the video review.
    - Markers should be more visible when viewing the stream VOD for editors. Looking like a thumb tack would be helpful. Click on them and the title shows with an edit icon

15. Live Stream Timeline / Roadmap Feature for Streams

    Twitch should add a customizable live “stream timeline” feature that creators can edit for each stream. This would allow viewers to instantly see what part of the stream is currently happening, what already happened, and what is planned next.

    Example:

    1. Discussing drama
    2. Ranked on main account
    3. Tournament watch party  3.1 Team 1 vs Team 2  3.2 Team 3 vs Team 4
    4. Tier list creation

    When viewers join streams late, they are often confused about what is happening or whether content they are interested in is still coming later. A timeline/roadmap system would improve stream organization and viewer retention.

    Features could include:

    • Current segment highlighted live
    • Completed segments checked off
    • Upcoming segments visible
    • Expandable subsections
    • Automatic VOD chapters/timestamps
    • Streamer ability to edit/reorder plans during stream

    This would especially help:

    • Variety streamers
    • Esports watch parties
    • Long streams
    • Tournament coverage
    • Educational streams
    • Ranked grind streams

    It would make streams feel more organized and help viewers decide whether to stay and watch upcoming content.

16. VOD progress bar highlights "memorable moments"

    It would be nice to see the most memorable/eventful parts of a stream by clicking on highlighted parts of a vod's progress bar.

    It could correlate to when clips are made and authorized mods could also tag an eventful moment quickly.

    Similar(?) to how the "most replayed" feature works on youtube. As far as how users interact with it.

    Looking thru clips the way they exist now can be annoying/slow and there are often many similar clips of the same thing with often poor titles that provide no context. Im sure some people like watching 8hr long vods to see what happened but i just want to see the highlights without unnecessary frustration/wasted time.

17. Alert me when certain categories had a viewer/follower spike

    As a new streamer trying to find an audience*, one way that occurs to me to do so is by piggybacking off of popular variety streamers who happen to play a game I like. Viewers think the game is cool and want to watch more of it, but now the variety streamer in question has moved on to something else. I'd like to identify events like this for certain games or categories and be notified of them.

    For example, I really like a game called "Drova: Forsaken Kin." It's not very well-known and as a consequence doesn't have much viewership. However, let's imagine that some popular variety streamer decides to play it for a day (Without Loss of Generality, we'll imagine this streamer is Asmongold) As a result of this, many viewers think the game looks cool and follow the Drova category hoping to see more of it in future. However, Asmongold quickly gets bored of it and the next day he's back to reacting to stuff on Twitter or whatever he does all day (IDK, I've only watched him like twice). In theory, if I were to subsequently stream Drova, some of the viewers responsible for the spike in category follows would check out my stream.

    Manually following a large amount of categories for unpopular games I play could be difficult, especially since it's not possible to separate my followed categories into subsets of "games I play and would stream" vs "games I just watch" or whatever.

    I could try to implement a scraper and scrape a specified set of categories periodically, but Twitch might disapprove of this and also it would be a large amount of work.

    I looked at the API, but there doesn't appear to be a way to retrieve this information via the public, documented API which is intended for consumption by developers. If we look at

    https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/ea-sports-fc-26

    the relevant information is the line near the top which (currently) says "75.3K Viewers, 315K Followers" (which I would be looking for changes to). However, this information does not come from the Developer API but from the GraphQL api. To wit, a query to Directory_DirectoryBanner returns

    [
        {
            "data": {
                "game": {
                    "id": "624536948",
                    "slug": "ea-sports-fc-26",
                    "name": "EA Sports FC 26",
                    "displayName": "EA Sports FC 26",
                    "coverURL": null,
                    "avatarURL": "https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/624536948_IGDB-144x192.jpg",
                    "description": "The Club is Yours in EA SPORTS FC 26. Play your way with an overhauled gameplay experience powered by community feedback, Manager Live Challenges that bring fresh storylines to the new season, and Archetypes inspired by greats of the game.",
                    "viewersCount": 75322,
                    "followersCount": 314652,
                    "igdbURL": "https://www.igdb.com/games/ea-sports-fc-26",
                    "prestoID": "amzn1.adg.product.6838e5c2-c8e4-4c8b-b8fa-db9e2f6e478a",
    ...
    

    However, since the GraphQL API isn't documented for developers, I don't think I'm supposed to be using it. And I don't know how much work it would be to fetch the information (e.g. the query has some kind of HMAC and I don't know how it works or if a standard library supplies it).

    So it doesn't seem straightforward to implement this via an extension. So it would have to be implemented by Twitch, unless I'm missing something.

    *I'm not really actively trying to grow a stream. However, when I considered doing so earlier, one of the things which discouraged me was not knowing how to go about finding an audience, so it's kind of accurate. Also, I'm just trying to write this in user-story format, and I'm probably not the only person with this concern, so whatever.

18. Browser Games Category

    Some variety streamers like to play games on Newgrounds or other browser-based game hosting sites. Seeing as these types of sites aren't traditionally allowed on IGDB-- it only makes sense for this to become its own Twitch category instead.

19. Add User Achievements (and new rewards)

    Gamify the platform more. A large portion of the userbase is gamers.

    Functionally, users engage better when they have objectives and rewards. Currently the backend has an achievement system for streamers to allow them to have benchmark goals to reach for their stream.

    So to capitalize on that, expanding the Drops & Rewards to include Achievements for both users and Streamers. Currently Streamer metrics are what the driving force behind available streamer achievements.

    This entire system would need rewards to be a driving force for users to engage with. Emotes, badges, nameplates, titles, profile pic frames, platform themes. This is a double-header here, as some of these functionalities do not exist.

    So what can a viewer achieve?
    Used Channel Redemption, Use X Channel Redemptions, Used Bits, Subscribed, Subscribed for a streak (on any single channel), Anniversaries (yearly), Sent first message, sent X messages (anti-spam delay on counting) used an emote in a message (anti-spam delay on counting), used X emotes in messages, participated in a poll, participated in X polls, accrued X channel points (final achieve at 1 million in a single channel), watched a stream together stream, watched X stream together streams, watched a recommended stream for 10 minutes, watched a recommended stream for 24 hours total time, participated in a raid, participated in x raids, follow your first channel, follow 5/10 channels, gift a sub, gift X subs, used a powerup, used x powerups, reach a watch streak of x in any channel, watched a Twitch stream, browsed the carousel on the front page, watched a stream in just chatting/DJs/Art/Music category, watched a clip, watched x clips, created a clip, created x clips, shared a clip, shared 5/10 clips, watched a story, used the mobile app, received a drop, earned an emote from a promotional event...

    And the list goes on. All of these are micro-incentives for users to engage and learn the platform. As users learn the platform more through some of these, they are incentivized to engage in it with further achievements and stretch goal achievements. A similar list could be added for streamers themselves, as the platform is a 2-part equation. Rewarding both sides for both providing and engaging both. Streamer-based achievements would be equally about feature engagement, both introductive and sustained engagement.

    As for new rewards, back to the other end of the equation. Emotes and badges are already a way for the users to have a modicum of identity. We need more. So light touches on the user-end, primarily cosmetic.

    Nameplates - A rarer cosmetic, a backer to your name in chat, your profile when viewed (when panel is displayed by clicking your name), and when featured in a stream-together title or @. The in-chat display of the nameplate would be a per-channel toggle, so streamers can turn them off for user-friendly engagement, but also may be toggled off from user-end for similar reasons.

    Profile Pic frames - Currently a highlighted feature best in example on Discord. A simple frame for your icon that would display in your profile (or popup when clicked in chat), would appear in the left shelf for recommended and the top right display of your icon on-site. A small visual frame to fit around your image.

    Platform Themes - We have dark mode, we have light mode. Some various unlockable gradients and other visuals for backgrounds or channel pages on native Twitch. Simple patterns, flat colors and patterns to not obscure features.

    Emote Shelf Expansion - Currently posted another idea involving having a shelf for users to select from their available emotes, this idea would go hand-in-hand with that idea, giving them extra shelves or space on those shelves in the emote selection window.

    Now how distribution would work? Well, certain achievements would unlock very specific things. For example Twitch's Bleed Purple, a staple of it's branding is the purple. So for a sort of site-pride engaging achieve, you might unlock a light Glitch logo (Twitch's site symbol) as a repeating pattern for a background.

    For the rest of everything however, achievements would award points of varying amounts for redemption in a basic shop. These offerings would be basic background colors/gradients, old offered emotes from promotions, simple frames, etc.

    To extend the shop however, Twitch can and should create a monetized front for that. If this occurs, I would recommend the focus on creators and artists, allowing users to submit, get approved and gain a profit when their item is sold. (It wouldn't be a free-for-all, just a strict entry/approval process and rotating offerings.) For a similar market example, see Warframe's Tennogen. (Regional offerings and exclusions obviously may apply, free achievement point shop would be global though.)

    This dual-front draws attention to all Twitch's current features and allows another monetization method for Twitch. The entire system being just a way for Twitch users to drive engagement and thereby improve quality of the site/service. By gamifying the experience, users may hopefully feel encouraged to engage more and through those engagements, more positively.

20. Automatic Category Adjustment Bot

    Dear Twitch Team,

    I would like to propose a feature that could greatly simplify category management for streamers. My suggestion is the development of a bot that automatically adjusts a stream’s category based on its current activity.

    For example:
    • If the streamer is playing Valorant, the category would automatically switch to Valorant.
    • If the streamer is simply engaging with the chat, the category would switch to Just Chatting.

    This feature would be especially beneficial for streamers who do not have moderators available to manually update their categories during the broadcast. Automating this process would ensure more accurate categorization, improve the viewer experience, and save streamers time and effort.

    Thank you for considering this request, and I hope you will explore the possibility of implementing it.

    Best regards
