We have an official game channel on Twitch -- we have tons of streamers that play the game, but (of course) most are variety streamers.

We'd love to autohost some of these folks playing our game, but it'd be awkward if we autohost them and they randomly play :any game that's not our game:. After all, it's the official game Twitch channel!

This would be useful to any themed streamers or gamers that only play x or y game. There may be variety streamers that play MOBAS but a LoL Twitch channel would autohost their friends only when they're playing that particular game.

Game name is already in the meta data, seems like it'd be minimal effort to implement!

Sub points should be accumulated & not get expired along with expired subs as it helps streamers to unlock emote slots quicker. And with more emotes available, potential subscribers would be more enticed to sub or continue their subscription.

Looking at "expired" sub points on our partnered dashboard not only demoralized streamers before the start of each stream, we'd get less interested to help promote subscription to our viewers & would encourage direct donation instead.

My current subpoints which unlocked 24 emotes is now at 366/1,000 because 600+ gifted subs expired this month. I don't see how I could get my next 25th emote slot unlocked if Twitch doesn't allow partnered streamers to keep the subpoints earned fairly & paid for from viewers.

Let us keep our hard-earned subpoints so we can grow Twitch together!

The title says it all. It would be useful to have the option to choose who exactly can watch past broadcasts, as well as highlights and uploads. I believe some affiliates and partners offer special videos that are made specificaly for their subscribers. Unfortunately, this can only be done by restricting the access to the entire VOD librairy.

Example: I don't want my highlights or my past broadcasts to be restricted just for the purpose of allowing my subs to get exclusive content from the uploading option. But if I would like to make that restriction I would like to be able to choose who exactly can watch those VODs.

Past Broadcasts ---> Everyone
Highlights ---> Followers Only
Uploads ---> Subscribers Only
Clips ---> Everyone

Right now, no one can watch anything that is not live on my channel, unless they are subs. In my opinion, past broadcast is a very useful way to get known or to give a good idea of who you are to those who can't watch your content when you're live. And there are plenty other reasons why someone would like to have these options available to them.

I wish you and the team would stop trying to push features like this. Instead of having a "boost" feature, why not work on a better way to make smaller content creators to be discovered?

Many have resulted in branching out to other social media and content creation platforms in order to funnel more viewers into twitch because of the over saturation of streams. Look at how addictive YouTube and Tik Tok are... Also look at how easy they are to just continuously browse and find new content. These are the things you should be focused on.

Honestly, Small streamers should be randomized on the "streamers you might like" section so everyone can get a little more outreach to new viewers. it should not be something that needs to be boosted.

Stop sorting your categories by number of views, randomize it. Keep your partners at the top, sure. there are only about 27,000 partners and wont overtake each gaming category.

Give clips it's own browsing page where potential viewers can browse clips by most popular, most recent, and give us the ability to add tags so that they can be targeted to a specific audience. An algorithm that will help people find clips that the individual might be interested in by targeting what they were searching.

Much more I can say, but let's just keep it at this for now.

At Twitch we always want to celebrate streaming milestones. To do that, we're experimenting with a feature that highlights a creator's Partner or Affiliate Anniversary!

To let you know when your anniversary is coming, we'll be sending creators notifications a few days beforehand. To help your audience know it’s your anniversary, we’ll be adding a party hat icon next to your name in the left sidebar to let your followers know about your special day. When viewers enter your channel during your anniversary, they’ll see the same party hat icon next to your name under the video player, as well as a private callout in chat prompting them to celebrate with a party hat emote. To make sure you don’t miss it, these features will be available for 24 hours both before and after your exact anniversary date. You don’t have to do anything to participate – if you're in the experiment group, just go live, and the features will automatically be available!

These features are part of a new experiment we’re running to better understand how we can help creators build visibility for events on their channel. Since it’s an experiment, keep in mind that not all of your viewers will see exactly the same features, and the experience will likely change before we fully launch it to all streamers. If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'd love to hear them.

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.
