I, like many other people, enjoy listening to streams before bed and often fall asleep to them. The problem is since Twitch is a streaming app it doesn't auto shut off. This means the stream will keep on running while I sleep. Sometimes I wake up and my phone has been running for eight hours straight because I didn't exit Twitch before sleeping. I think you should add a toggleable auto shut off feature that turns a stream off after 30 minutes. It should be toggleable so people can turn it off. Please add this, it would be a great addition! Especially for people who listen with only audio!

Please add and allow the ability to put users you follow into groups. Like a folder/group. So that when you see on the left, Followed Channels, or if you go to the channels you follow, you can easily see them grouped up in folders/groups.
IE one example would be: Path of Exile streamers, you could label POE and put followed channels into that group.

While you can see what game people are playing at the moment of course. Certain players main certain games. And so if you follow a bunch of people and see a bunch of people live. It would be nice to be able to pull up and see certain groups of users you follow, from certain communities/games.

Almost everything else out there has the ability to put things into groups/folders. It would just be a really nice feature.

remove girls stewing in their own filth without having to open a chat and /block name, or open their stream, and try and find some bs 3 dots to put them on "a do not recommend list" or w/e.

everyday, the 1st time i open twitch, theres 3 new girls just sitting there ******* bubbles in their splash pool, please stop, please fix it, lol.

theres always pornhub w/ 4k 60fps videos, dont need to recommend me these individuals, from what iv seen the past 4-5 days, just make me sad, can see theyre damaged, BUT please stop recommending me this, i just use pornhub or google, yknow?
UNLESS this is all just a troll meme thing

I log onto twitch to enjoy some stream content of my favorite streamer, game, or community for the day. I am encountered with streams without my choice(also known as consent) that I have no interest in, disagree with politically, feel are being pushed on me for political purposes, do not want to watch, do not even want to see for one second, and think I should not have to see. All I request is a simple option in user settings that allows me to opt out of hosts, raids, or "twitch" chosen streams on the home screen. This would improve the user experience for me personally. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to watch the content I choose on twitch.

I have just discovered that for streams containing embedded closed captions (NOT via a Twitch extension), there is no way to display the closed captions when playing the stream on Android or when casting to a Chromecast.

I think it's great that Twitch has added captions support in the first place, but all of it is for nothing if someone who relies on captions is watching on the app or Chromecast.

To be extra clear, I am not talking about caption extensions - those show up in the app, but many streamers use proper embedded captions which seem to only be available in the browser player.

The app really should support displaying captions over the video similar to YouTube, and Chromecast definitely also can show captions so it should be supported there too.

I contacted Twitch support about enabling captions on Android/Chromecast and the only responses I have gotten are links to the help articles about captions and extensions. None of the help articles show how to enable captions on Android or Chromecast, so I have to assume it just isn't supported.

I would like to see Twitch become a more accessible place. One way to do this is to have live closed captions on every video, no matter language or status. Of course, providing official captions is impossible for some channels. To remedy this, I would like to see the implementation of automatic/auto-generated captions. This would resolve the issue for people who do not have a person or software to provide the captions. Then, people could choose between that and whatever official captions the channel provides.

YouTube is starting to provide automatic captioning to channels above 1k subscribers. Facebook already has it. There are even a few third-party OBS Studio plugins which use already made transcribers such as Google and Microsoft text-to-speech: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin . It would be great to have it right in the platform instead of some software that not everyone can handle.

It would also be cool to give the already existing extensions a chance to provide closed captions as well. Maybe they could even become a "caption" rather than just an overlay, component, panel and/or mobile extension.

Furthermore, instead of the Closed Captioning Stream Tag, there should be a Closed Captioning Automatic Tag to denote which channels have live closed-captioning. The Closed Captioning Stream Tag could then be replaced with a Captions, to include open and closed captions.

However it may be, adding auto-generated live closed captions to every piece of media would be a great help to those who are unable to hear the audio.
