My friends and I operate a shared channel on Twitch via stream keys which has functioned fairly well for us over the years. There is, however, one ever-present issue that limits some of our ability to take advatange of some sought-after features.

That, of course, being the way the OAuth system works for channels. Since we run on stream keys, we lack the ability to take advantage of third-party programs that use the Twitch SSO to function. Currently, to generate the token for those applications, it requires the discrete user:pass login for the channel which just isn't feasible. Not having this ability greatly limits some functions that would be incredibly important for the channel.

I, of course, don't have the internal knowledge as to how the OAuth works from the context of Twitch, but if there's any possible way to generate tokens via the stream key system rather than only the user:pass login it would be greatly appeciated.

For the future for Twitch it would be a great idea to make

4 Formats for Twitch Streamers. Each Twitch Streamer as an individual starts from somewhere in their life. When you first start your first channel its like a Ghost Town until you meet a couple of friends and people interested in your stream. From there If you watch other individuals online that play the same games as what your viewers might watch, that is called cross promotion when you refer your old streamers to their channel. Without less talk of how to get started on twitch for anyone who has not experienced streaming yet. I would like to follow though with a neat idea for the Twitch Staff

Gray Star: This is the first Tier of Verified content streaming on twitch, People who would uphold this rank have been inspected by the twitch community, also the twitch staff, People with this rank get a higher spot on twitch.tv Games. This means Pretend One viewer who is not verified is streaming with more viewers will be demoted in place for someone with less viewers, but upholds the Gray Star

Green Star: Just like Gray Star This person have went though all of the requirements to reach Gray Star on twitch. This persons presentation is upheld by a higher standard of what twitch Staff find to be a more professional stream than Gray Star.

White Star: A White star represents a huge amount of reputation from the twitch community, as well as the twitch staff. This type of person has made his carrier to the point where they are living off twitch for their income completely. They follow the rules and regulations on twitch very well as it updates.

Purple Star: This is the highest qualifying rank from twitch.tv This would have everything from Gray - White but being a purple star means you represent the Gaming industry as a whole. Your sponsors must be from Gaming companies like Twitch.tv, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Battle.net, or any of the ''Companies that uphold the game, for example : Jagex: Runescape, Blizzard: Variety. To Be a Purple Star you must uphold the requirements of the sponsored companies that wish you to promote their content, as well as follow Twitch's guidelines properly . This rank is qualified as a highest amount of reputation on twitch, a streamer who has this rank is made to be viewed before anyone else.

With all of these change updates I would like to clarify what would be discontinued.

-View count. This means you will no longer be able to see the amount of people viewing your stream.

For the Average person who is on twitch for long periods of time: A Verified Streamer. This person has yet to achieve the qualities that it takes to Reach Gray Star.

Unverified These people are the Fishes not discovered yet, this means they are streamers that just started or just don't stream enough on a daily bases or no one has noticed them.

Let me know what you think of my Idea- Noomsun

When ever I have paused a stream, and left the tab open. It has every single time been irritating when i am raided into a new channel. Sometimes i am on mobile and use up all my mobile data without knowing, sometimes I pause a stream and leave the PC before i go to bed, and then wake up because i've been raided into some stream. Or im inside a game and i don't know where the sound is coming from and have to go through my 20-30 some tabs in the middle of a game.

When I have paused the stream, from which i am being raided into a new one. I think almost no one enjoys that happening. Except perhaps the people who get some fake inflated views.

Popular streamers instructing their viewers to go grief another streamer should be means for at least a suspension, & in some cases a permanent ban. I'm using hal as an example because he's a big streamer & its a recent one. TSM_ImperialHal had his chat go and grief another streamer over his appearance because he landed on him in a video game. He stopped his stream & they started attacking the guys girlfriend. There wound up being death threats sent to the poor guy. No action taken against hal. Its the most petty & childish thing but it happens regularly enough there should be some kind of rule. & these big streamers have zero repercussions for their actions. & the viewers raiding should be banned as well.
