Improved Editor Role
A channel editor is probably the biggest role any streamer can give a person, but the channel editor can't do as much as they should be allowed to do. A channel editor should be able to do more than just create highlights, run commercials,etc. When a person is promoted to a channel editor, that means the streamer gives them their ultimate trust. So what should an editor be able to do, but can't at this current time? Here are some ideas:
Moderate the moderators | Just as any other broadcaster can, a channel editor should be allowed to purge/timeout/ban moderators who are not channel editors. They should also in turn, be able to add/remove moderators. There may be cases where chat gets out of hand with not only the viewers but also some moderators, instead of the broadcaster having to deal with it, the channel editor should be able to so that the broadcaster can continue with his/her stream and not have to worry about chat drama.
Edit panels | There are times where streamers want to edit their panels, but either don't have the time to or don't know how to do something in particular. A channel editor should be able to edit the panels the way the broadcaster wants. Maybe there was typo a that looks unprofessional or an outdated piece of information that needs fixing.
Submit artwork for partnered streamers | A new emote slot opens up for a partnered streamer, and maybe the streamer isn't in a position to submit a new emote. Why not allow the channel editor to do so for the streamer? That way the new emote comes in right away instead of having to have people wait for a new emote.
There are other things that could be added to. Along side with this, an editor should have a badge of recognition. That way people know they aren't an ordinary mod.

YES! we need a mod of mods

All for expanding editor's capabilities, but no need to involve moderators. That's a separate kind of role.

I agree with this idea

Adding to the 2024 traction. As a recent addition to affiliate world, I would love to role someone with a "brand manager" role to help setup and live update things, especially the emotes and page panels.

This sounds more like a brand manager than just simply an editor. Some editors do not have this robust of trust at all, and simply need access to download streams on the back end, but BOTH roles absolutely are needed.
A brand manager should also have analytics access. For many streamers looking at their numbers is a major source of anxiety, and they should be able to give access to this data, with adjustable levels of data (Enable them to give access to individual parts of the data, ie: view count as one access to grant, subs as another, actual financials as another, so the streamer can grant access to what they are comfortable with). -

I think editors should have more powers to help a streamer basically do almost what a streamer can do. But what I think along with this is that the streamer can chose what the editor can do on there channel

this was planned in 2018. Its almost 2024. Can we get an update or feedback on this please?

i agree, streamers should have the option that youtube and even chat bots have, to choose which permissions they want someone to have. It's a pain to not be able to help a streamer with more things when they fully trust you and in bigger channels streamers have no time to deal with every moderation detail.

why not let the streamer decides what every role can do to help him with streaming? Checkboxes or triggers to turn on/off for moderator and editor roles. It works great on discord, where the owner can choose what every role can or cannot do. And i'm not saying to give them power all over vips and subs, just give the streamers the power to make their choice. My partnered streamer needs help with channel points, with panels editor and to help him, even being an editor, I need to be with him on a call and tell him - step by step - what he needs to do. Would be much more easier for him, for me, and I believe, for a lot of streamers let them decides what a moderador and an editor can do to help the channel. Of course you will not let them "give" power to see/change stream key or personal data, like payments and personal info (address, phone etc).
By the way, this is almost 5 years old, it says planned. When? 2030?

As an editor, I don't want power over moderators. I do agree with editing panels. The streamer I edit for I also help created/format her panels. Being able to update them for her would be super helpful. But maybe instead of a flat "editors do this", it can be an optional permission? Like a checkbox that says editors can edit panels as well.

SiebelStreamer commented
No, I think there should be more different roles. The things you mention are more intended for a manager role. then editor.
-
AWonderr commented
at least give the role a badge, there's an emote artist badge but no editor badge?

Personally disagree with Editors having power over moderators- I think strictly separate roles make more sense.
Although I do agree that an editor having the ability to change panels (perhaps with a button the streamer needs to press to confirm later) and being able to submit new graphics and emotes could also help streamers- especially large ones. -

I like the idea to break it in a permission like approach like discord, additionally I would like to see permission to the stream settings, analytics, unban request etc.
a lot of streamers have one mod who manages a lot, even the other mods, so it would be nice to get the ability for that. -
Kritische_Masse commented
I'm also supporting a discord like approach.
Break all privileged functions down into single permissions and give the broadcaster the ability to create custom roles with the privileges they seem fit.Maybe have permission presets (e.g. resembling the old "Moderator" / "Editor" roles) for starters who dont know the meaning of each permissions yet.

Creators need a function to highlight a viewer like in bold, cursive and something like that. It would help alot to connect with our viewers!
