  1. Genial el panel nuevo de control. Sería genail poder adaptar con plantillas variadas el diseño visual que ven los espectadores tal como ocurre en streamlabs o OBS. Por otra parte fomentar el RAID de canales pequeños y mantener la motivación de los streamers más pequeños con premios o recompensas de algun tipo. Por lo demás, Twitch ha cambiado mucho y ahora se configura y se maneja mucho mejor!

  2. Allow us to click on the name of who we're currently hosting so that we can easily go to their channel from our stream manager.

  3. I don't want return to find that I've been cycled through 4+ channels I don't want to watch.

    I don't care who recommends them for auto-raid, I have them set in my personalized category/channel recommendations as Not Interested.

    Not Interested means I am Not interested.

  4. For some reason, you can go to your dashboard and initiate a raid to another channel even if you aren't live. This is frequently used for trolling and the reason why many people (myself included) have set the minimum number of viewers for incoming raids to 2.

    Since raiding is supposed to be a feature to take your viewers with you to another streamer, it makes no sense that you're able to do this while offline. Please fix it!

  5. As a small streamer, one great way to network and meet new people is via raiding. However, much of the time, raids are too small for some streamers and there is no notification of the raid in chat or via alert. This really devalues small streamers and gives us the impression that we are not worth recognition on Twitch. Small raids are still raids.

    You might be asking, "well people who aren't live can just press the raid button, and it can be spammy." To this I'd say, if there was some recognition that an individual was live (ex. 1…

  6. Raids are generally used to introduce one or more audiences to other streamers.

    Right now, there is one method of raiding: You click the raid channel button, you're brought up a list of live channels you are following.

    I believe that the creator should be given a list of all live channels in the category they are streaming. That way they can pick a live channel that they may not be following. Introducing an element of RNG into raiding could greatly open up the platform to a wider audience.

  7. Back at the end of September 2018, Twitch REMOVED the ability for a broadcaster to press "RAID NOW" from chat when the broadcaster wasn't the one who started the Raid, this was complained about, as there were a number such as myself who use Bots to start off the Raids,

    Twitch "Fixed" this with the new Raid & Hosts panel that was launched shortly after in the Dashboard....

    Now the Dashboard is changing, and there is no longer a Raid & Hosts Panel only a Raid Option (Nothing to indicate an in progress Raid), this is now a Problem AGAIN

  8. We have a few options to deny raids, based on various criteria. However, one that is notably missing is the option to deny raids from channels that aren't currently streaming.

    Raiding from an offline channel is all-too-often used for trolling, hate raids, or advertising. While there ARE legitimate purposes for raiding from an offline stream (ie, OBS crashes), it would be nice to have the option in the settings to auto-deny offline raids, same as we can currently for low viewer counts, non-affiliate/partner, or minimum account age.

  9. I'd like to see everyone who has raided me in the past year, but nobody cares about that apparently because I can't find any information about it.

  10. For frequent Raiders, sometimes we want to make new friends in the community. Sometimes those raids don't go as planned and the new friend goes offline, or the raid simple isn't appreciated and you run into someone rude. Or, you're raided by a community that comes in and is rude. I would like to see the ability to forward our raids onto another community if the initial raid isn't someone you follow.
    Also, as a raider along for the ride, the opportunity to stay with the raided streamer or move along to another one.

  11. When choosing to raid a channel at the end of a stream, the button gives a pop out of channels I follow as options to raid, or enter a username.

    As I've recently joined a stream team, it would be nice to have another tab in the raid popout for Stream Team members, instead of just channels I follow.

    As mentioned in another suggestion, it would also be nice to then have a third tab of players streaming the same game we were.

  12. Can we get a flag or maybe have the DJ logo change color when a DJ is ready for a Raid?

    We need a way to signal other DJ’s that are ready to take a break and want to bless another DJ.

    It needs to be simple though… not a huge change, suttle. There is an option to block Raids for 1 hour.. should be a similar for “Ready for Raid.” Blessings!

    Thanks for considering this!

  13. Let there be an option for raids to not affect our recommended streams in browse. For, example because of a single raid now my recommended feed is full of streamers I have no interest in as far as what I usually watch. Now I'm sitting here clicking on 'Not Interested' on all of them until it fixes my 'Recommended For You'.

  14. Hi,

    A lot of streamers end their stream and don't Raid anybody.. and I dont mean just big streamers and I am not trying to make a point they should.. I mean how many times raid actually happen compared to just ending the stream.

    What if, when the streamer doesn't raid anybody, the platform would after short while automatically connect you to a completely random stream (or give you a pop up to do that). The feature could be disabled for streamers that would not want to have it enabled as I see many reason why some streamers would not…

  15. Create raid roulette, like video-chat roulette. 2 streamers on the same page and 1 chat. Streamers talk to each other and skip each other, following all the rules of Twitch, unlike regular roulettes. Omegle has been closed, so might be a good opportunity;) Also, streamers could raid without ending the stream, just like coming to visit other streamers. Probably need "open for online raids" feature for this. I guess there's going to be a problem with delay on streams, so streamers with no delay can participate.

  16. When choosing who to raid to it can sometimes be difficult if you have multiple people online that you want to raid to. How about a feature where the streamer can opt to either raid out to a single person or split the raid between 2 or 3 others.

    Single raid target - Works the same way as normal

    Multi raid target - The chat would get to choose which of the two people they would like to join. So Raid Target A might gain 15 people and Raid Target B might gain 20 people from the raid. Any chatters…

  17. There needs to be a feature in the settings that allows you to stop raids for users on steam.

    It’s frustrating to fall asleep during a stream you were currently watching and wake then wake up to a different streamer that you would never watch.
    Here is an example: watching chill stream and fall asleep, couple hours later you suddenly wake up to a steamer showing/shooting guns and shouting slurs.

    This option should be in the settings under “Autoplay videos”. Also should be accessible to both users and creators/streamers.

    This shouldn’t be mandatory.

  18. It seems since the Host feature was removed yesterday, I am unable to raid to another streamer for the 2nd day in a row. Any idea on if the Raid feature will be operational soon or what for us small streamers?

  19. I have insomnia and fall asleep to streams regularly. The difference in setups for streamers can make for a wide range of max volumes. This morning because of a raid I was woken up and cannot get back to sleep.
    All I'm suggesting is a toggle to turn off being thrown into a raid in case of falling asleep watching a stream.

  20. Set an automatic timer to raid to another channel

    Or have a raid list of friends who are live to just click on to raid
