1. Please stop messing with our muscle memory and revert the UI change

   Twitch just rolled out a change on the PC browser website that moves the panel that contains the streamer's username, stream title/category, follow button, concurrent viewers,... to the top of the stream, which not only messes with our muscle memory but also makes the experience a bit less pleasant as the stream got pushed downwards from its original centered position.

   Please Twitch, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it.

2. Pronoun bio field and chat integration

   Following up my comment on https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/42218083-pronouns-prefix

   It would be great if there were a dedicated Bio field in which we could put our pronouns, and a chat feature similar to the functionality provided by https://pronouns.alejo.io/ to display pronouns right alongside names in chat. This could also be used to populate a tag-like display near the streamer's name.

   Tags for streamers are a start, but I'd like to be able to consult someone's bio (if they choose to disclose pronouns) so I can refer to them properly when they're not currently streaming and be able to refer to viewers properly.

3. Automatically refresh stream page when broadcaster goes live

   Before you implemented the new player you didn't need to refresh the page when a stream went live. Now you will not even notice when a stream goes live unless you refresh the page.

   Example:
   Current behavior:
   1. Go to offline stream page (ex https://www.twitch.tv/reckful)
   2. Reckful starts his stream
   3. Nothing happens and the user has no idea that reckful has gone live even if he has had this tab open for hours

   Wanted behavior:
   1. Go to offline stream page (ex https://www.twitch.tv/reckful)
   2. Reckful starts streaming
   3. Stream starts playing instantly

   I know that this worked previously with the old flash player, so is this feature gone because of limitations in the HTML5 player or was it just overlooked?

4. Improve Team visibility and reverse recent design change

   Twitch recently changed the way Teams are displayed on a streamer's channel page.
   Prior to the change, the name and link of the main Team was displayed next to the Game below the Video Player. The change moved this lower to the "About" box and changed the appearance, which makes the Team less obvious and appear non-clickable.

   I propose to re-add the Team name and link next to the Game name, in addition to the reference in the "About" box.

   Teams are a great way for streamers to collaborate. As of now, Teams need lots of love, as they have been neglected for years.
   I'm sure the comments will provide further input on this.

   Relevant Update  ·  Ana responded

   Hey all! Wanted to let you know that we recently updated the Teams color so that it looks more interactive and noticeable. We decided to add it to the About panel, because it is more about the streamer - where it was before was more about that particular stream.

5. 2000 channels follows limit is too low

   Hello, I follow a lot of people on Twitch, a lot of people have not started streaming yet, will probably do it soon or will not stream at all.

   I find it impossible that the channel follow limit is 2000 follow.

   Please increase the number to at least 10000 channel follows, so that I can follow more than 2000 channels & users.

   Even on Youtube there is no channel following limit!

   Please increase this, I have to delete users from my channel list all the time, which annoys me a lot.

   I also find it very dubious for a streaming platform that there is such a limit at all.

   At the moment I can't see which channel I'm following because it's no longer displayed in the browser since Twitch redesigned it.

   2000 channels to follow are just too few, please fixt this problem.

6. Merge "Home" and "About" tabs

   Information on the "home" tab is useful, but I don't want it to be the first thing people see when they come to my channel. I'd much rather they see the panels that I paid to have designed, and the information I put there specifically to be front and center.
   I do like the information such as Recent games played, and the other channels to check out. I'd like it if there were a way to merge the two so that the information on the home tab is readily accessible, but NOT what immediately greets the viewers.

7. Do not implement 100 hour limit for Highlights and Uploads

   100 hours is a ludicrously low limit of saved video time for all Twitch streamers. This limit likely covers less than 2 months of stream time for Affiliates and Partners, which is even less than the Past Broadcasts tab offers. While fewer than 0.5% of streamers currently exceed the 100-hour limit, those same streamers make up more than half of all Highlighted content, and many of those streamers are in the top 5% of creators on Twitch by hours streamed and revenue generated. Highlights have been ineffective for discovery and hours watched because of Twitch-related decisions on how Highlights are labelled and when they do or do not appear in Search, not because the feature is unhelpful for creators or viewers. The best course of action is to simply not implement this 100-hour limit. At bare minimum, creators will need the limit extended to at least 10,000 hours as well as the availability of a batch download tool so that years of Highlighted content does not need to be downloaded and saved one video at a time. Proceeding with this 100-hour limit will actively push streamers away from the Twitch platform, opting instead for services that do not place arbitrary limits on the archiving of digital content.

8. Search clips by keywords

   Currently there is no effective way to search through clips other than top all time, 30 days, and 7 days.
   -You should be able to search through clips by keyword.

   For example, if you're trying to find rage clips on a channel or game you should be able to search clips by the keyword "rage". Any clips with rage in the title should show up.

9. The Turbo Button

   Currently, on both light and dark themes the "Get Ad Free" button - that subscribes you to Turbo is almost completely hidden due to the background color of the button blends with the page background.

   Currently the buttons background uses the CSS:
   background-color: var(--color-background-button-secondary-default);

   The fact that the button uses its own special variable separate from the other buttons on the channel pages tells me that this is an intentional design choice. I feel like this choice is doing more harm than good. If the button was purple, or
   background-color: var(----color-background-button-primary-default); like all the other buttons on the pages it would draw more attention to its self. More Turbo members would be beneficial to Twitch as a company, and to streamers on platform.

12. Toggle Panels On/Off Instead of Remove

    I think it would be useful to be able to toggle panels on/off instead of having to remove them and re-add them each time.
    For example, I'd like to have a panel with information specific to a game I'm playing, but if I'm playing a different game I'd like to turn it off temporarily and not have to worry about setting it up all over when I go back to the other game.

13. More Customization

    The top panel on the "about" page and the schedule page are bland to look at. I would love to be able to choose an accent color or add my own graphics, especially if the panels will not be on the main page. It takes away a lot of the individual expression that we're allowed with the current layout.

    I’m leaving this topic open for the specific feedback presented, but just wanted to update that the team has added some more customization options since the launch, and will continue to add customization to the page over time. Thanks for your suggestions!

14. Tie schedule to a time zone

    The schedule tab is extremely redundant if it's not tied to your timezone. The current extension will show the streamer's schedule in the time zone of the system viewing it. This is SO important as we all know noon CET is most definitely not noon PST. From the looks of things now, we'll just be able to set our schedules to a time, and it will then be up to the viewer to keep track of what timezones we are in. Thus the schedule will not be usable for the viewer.
    This should also include the option for the streamer to set the timezone for their streams, as a lot of us stream while on longer trips. With the option of setting the timezone, we can then prepare our viewers for different start times because of time zone changes.

    Additionally, the lack of timezones also forces the viewers to have to keep track of when daylight savings happens in other places than their home. I.e. Europe and North America have three weeks between when the times are changed, and I'm sure this goes for other places too.

    Giving us the option for a schedule is well and all, but it's no use to our viewers if it doesn't show them when we'll be live in their timezone.

    Just to provide some clarity – we actually already handle the timezone translation for both streamer and viewer, so viewers should be able to see exactly when you’re going live in their timezone. We realize it’s tricky because we don’t have any messaging that explains this, so we will be working to get that added.

15. Moving stream info back under the stream

    I know that you guys are running UX/UI tests for desktop users, placing the stream info above the stream instead of underneath. I appreciate the effort to improve the platform, but this change like it's trying to fix something that's not broken. Personally, the new placement has made my viewing experience less intuitive and more visually distracting. I’ve found myself less inclined to watch streams due to the change.

    When the testing period concludes, can we restore the original layout where the info's underneath? The previous design felt more natural, and it’s not immediately clear what problem the new placement is intended to solve.

    Thank you all!

16. Enforce panel layout

    The panels should have an option to force a grid layout, instead of the floating randomness we have today. I designed a 3 column poster that displays correctly on the most common screen resolutions, but it breaks with this new layout.

    Streamers should have the choice of floating(today), three, four or five column layouts.

    The new channel layout makes it easier for everyone to find the info they're looking for about a streamer, which is great.

18. Personal dashboard for viewers

    I am not a streamer but I watch Twitch every day for hours. I would like a customizable homepage that I can launch everytime I come on. This homepage would have all streams I follow, top games right now, top streamers right now, top communities right now (maybe also communities I follow), top clips from streams I follow (where you can toggle by 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month etc). Everything customizable so that you can create your own little 'home'.

19. Make clips pinnable, easier to search for, and find!

    Hi Twitch! it would be awesome if we could pin our favorite clips to our Twitch pages, have tags on clips, and/or make searching for clips a better experience. The current means of searching/sorting clips by 24 hour, 7 day, 30 day or all time is very limiting and doesn't yield optimal search results. Searching for clips on the dashboard is also confusing and not user friendly. Clips are a nice short way for people to experience the channel offline if they don't want to scrub through a VOD.

    Yes, channel trailers are great but 60 seconds is limiting. Having clips that we can pin could give more context to inside jokes, community culture, hype moments (with context in conjunction with the clips having tags)

    Having tags on clips and being able to search clips incentivize users to check out channels offline. Scrubbing through VOD's is tedious. It would also encourage broadcasters to have a higher incentive for chat to create clips. Clips are also a great way to share your channel on other social media channels. Please also make it mandatory for users to name the clip or make clip names editable by the broadcaster.

    Please make clips easier to use and find!

20. Do something with clips

    Clips are an amazing feature on Twitch and I feel they're (already) somewhat underused. The new layout seems to make this worse, since clips don't even get their own header or section.

    Something like a clip reel would make a great showcase for new viewers, plus something existing viewers can be proud of ("hey I clipped that!"). Perhaps it can be added on the home page? Or maybe just the option of merging several clips into one highlight video (per month, or whatever)?

    Hey guys, you can actually sort of set this up the way you’re describing! Head to the Videos tab and choose “Customize Layout”. From here, you can edit the layout to display your Clips (I have my own as the very top shelf on my homepage ^.). Similarly, you can create a Collection of Highlights to be your top shelf. I will leave this topic open for the general feedback about and the Home display, though.
