Moments is a new way to celebrate channel lore and reward viewers for being part of the hype, live. With the click of a button, you can now turn major moments on stream into a commemorative chat badge that viewers will receive if they were watching live. The more moments a viewer takes part in, the higher badge tiers they unlock. Plus, newcomers can get to know your stream by clicking into these badges and viewing the defining moments of your community.

We look forward to hearing your feedback and if you have any questions please refer to our help article (https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/moments) Please note that this is a beta and is only available to a select amount of creators currently.

Hi Twitch,

I'm TheDementedRaven & back in April I started a campaign for your company to acknowledge Autistic streamers as it was Autism Awareness month. I launched a successful campaign on Twitter, featuring various sizes of streamers and Autistc's alike to spread the word far and wide. I started this campaign because these events are often met with silence with companies such as yourselves, & we're left without the recognition and awareness that we deserve.

Sadly, I didn't get a response from yourselves.

So I ask, if you are going to acknowledge myself & others with disabilities this month, because it's known for large companies to become instantly ableist when our events occur & it is no coincidence. You have MANY Disabled streamers and to ignore a LARGE part of your userbase, is never the wisest choice, especially how it's always people with disabilities who never get acknowledged with such amazing events.

So once again, I ask if you will be giving Disabled Streamers recognition this month for #DisabilityPrideMonth? Because we're proud of being us, no matter how many companies ignore & close us out.

Is Twitch any different?

Thank you for your time.

TDR.

Allow creators to restrict viewing of their streams to logged in users only. As an option, this would help address hate raiders who get banned and continue to watch in incognito. Effectively preventing banned users from seeing the stream.

And, at the same time would give creators a simple tool to better control how their content is viewed. For example, if they were creating Mature content and wanted to add their own limitation on consumption.

Provide similar messaging to what is available on logged out Subscriber Streams which say "USER is streaming for 'registered users', Sign up now to join in: Watch the stream and participate in chat." Then a button to create an account.

With the Hype Train being implemented and having such a positive effect on content creator's channels, I think it would be worthwhile to add more rewards. The conductor badges have been HUGE for showing who is genuinely supporting, as well as the emotes that get dispensed. A few ideas I have to give more incentives for donating bits and gifting subs are things such as; Names in chat have more unique traits for those who have been top supporters, such as all gold names, rainbow names, special fonts etc. The ability to add exciting alerts for when new levels have been "beaten" would also amplify the hype. Another idea is for an option the streamer would be able to adjust for those who place top 3 to receive "X" amount of channel points. The last idea as of now that I have would be to show the all time previous Hype Train record somewhere, allowing chat to know what they would have to beat, percentage wise, to be the best yet, followed by some sort of exciting alert if it is beaten.

Currently, if you visit a Twitch link on your phone, and that person is hosting someone, there's no way to see the original user's profile. This means that you can't see their info, you can't follow, you can't subscribe, etc.

With a huge amount of traffic coming from other platforms like TikTok, Twitter, etc. this means that many people are unable to follow a user if they visit a Twitch link on their phone.

The only way to get to the original user's profile is to close the video player, and then manually search for them again within the app. Essentially, links to a profile are useless if that user is hosting another person. It seems strange that there's no way to access a user's profile on mobile when they're hosting another user.

It would be awesome if you could allow people to see the ORIGINAL user's profile, follow them, etc. on the mobile app/site!

Twitch needs to investigate the games that their affiliate requests are playing before handing out Affiliates. There are people who stream private servers who are getting affiliate status when they are in fact breaking Twitch rules!

It is written in Twitch's community guidelines that "Unauthorized Content Sharing & Other Copyright Violations
Uploading any content that you do not own, do not have the rights to, or are otherwise not authorized to use, violates our Terms of Service and may make your account liable to DMCA takedowns by third-party rights holders. We do not tolerate, for example: rebroadcasting other Twitch broadcasters’ content, playing pirated games, showing third-party movies and television shows, rebroadcasting a sports match, playing on UNAUTHORIZED PRIVATE SERVERS, or uploading content from other sites without permission of the copyright owner."

Do not let Private server streamers get affiliate status.

The paid boosting feature is unethical and engineers around the problem that the current algorithm serves content in a way that is both obfuscated from participants yet is clearly biased towards extremely large partnered streamers and/or divisive content.

Instead deliver content that appeals to individual viewers based on their viewing habits and adjust the front page and the algorithm:
- Partnered Streamers Recommended for you x3
- Affiliate Streamers Recommended for you x3
- New for you x6 (2 partner, 2 affiliate, 2 any) streams of varying size and varying content type

similarly for the search and category views of live channels allow additional filtering features based on stream size, time live so those who want to explore smaller streamers in a large category can do so without doomscrolling

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 but then never really come back.

Alternatively... Have the followers list include for each follower a "Date last watched" datapoint and show several activity statistics such as "Followers Active in the past 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, etc" Or a "Follower activity chart" people can use to help understand the size of a channel's loyal following.

Editors should be able to delete clips from the link, not just the clip manager, just like the broadcaster can.

If you are an editor for a streamer who gets several thousand clips per stream, deleting old clips becomes a very painful experience scrolling in a list that only displays a small amount of clips at a time with no search option.

Deleting a clip that is several months old would take hours scrolling in one list making it unfeasible and the streamer themselves have to delete the clip from the link, because only they can do it easily.

I don't think implementing this would be very difficult and it would make deleting clips for editors SO much easier!

Best regards!
