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!

creators being able to tag clips and/or rename would be amazing. also having a more thorough search system for them would be great!

I would love to have easier access to clips and think this would be a wonderful implementation to a bloated twitch clips system.

This is an amazing idea, Ash! On all aspects this would so greatly improve both streamer and user experience. I really hope they implement these ideas.

As it is now, the best, and maybe only way, to view the popular clips of a channel is to go Channel -> Videos -> Clips -> Sort to Popular (All). Even then, this doesn't mean the streamer can pin clips that they feel represent them well or is just a really good clip to watch. Clips can only be ordered by the # of views.
Having more accessibility to clips like this will help the community look back on great moments and help new viewers see what the channel is about, perhaps even better than a channel trailer. -

Truly this functionality would increase visibility of memorable and meme-orable moments, and increase engagement on several levels!

This is a great idea! Some channels get loads of clips which can just be intimidating to look through just based on date.

You should have a option to show your top clips on your profile like highlights.
Right now you always need to click on ''last 7 days, last 30 days'' etc
you should be able to choose which clips should be shown on the front of your page (like one 2 years ago, not the last 7 days)
