Del mismo modo que se puede reportar un canal, sugiero poner una opción para apoyarlo si se considera injusto un veto. Recientemente he visto en directo cómo un emisor de un canal que había vetado de forma oportuna y necesaria a los típicos malechores que por envidia o porque no saben divertirse de otro modo hacían su chat del todo desagradable, tuvo que sufrir el reporte de dichos maleantes y fue injustamente vetado su canal. Propongo que se deje un lugar en Twitch para apoyar a dicho canal facilitando al creador un enlace para que pueda recibir el apoyo de sus seguidores. No encuentro en la Ayuda de Twitch ninguna opción para poder hacer eso. Saludos

The new Home and About tab:

• The hyperlinks on the home page should be more dynamic and we as "owners" of our channel should be able to select which hyperlinks we want to be displayed there or not. Having it locked with "Home, About, Schedule, Videos, Chat" when not everyone makes use of all those (and even if they do, it's a fact that most viewers don't give a "f" for that many info in there) it's unnecessary.




• What's the reason for "having" that Chat hyperlink there? I don't see the use for it - also it's important to notice the name "Chat" has (almost) no meaning... It took me like 1h (just by looking at the new interface) to guess what that chat was for... The new layout should be more intuitive for viewers and let's be honest - IT IS NOT. A question here: Will that "home layout" change when a streamer goes live? Because if not, how will viewers have (or know how to) access the live tab if there is none (or if it's named as "chat" and with no indication of what's going on on the channel)?




• Having the old "about" as the home/landing page IS ALREADY enough. The new home would have much more sense if this platform was focused on hosting videos, like Vimeo/Youtube, which is not the case... IMHO, this new layout is there just to make all the investment in creating/paying for art from the panels being moved to a second plane and make it unseen, since viewers will not bother about reading panels when you are "live"... those information panels at the About tab should be in our Home since they have been our home for a long date... Honestly, remove the new "Home", rename "About" to "Home" and allow us to customize it deeper, giving us the power to add sections just like we have in the Videos tab. This has more sense and makes everything more intuitive for new viewers




• Allowing the streamer to customize sections to be displayed here is A MUST. I don't want to show my last streams since they will simply be removed from there in about 15 days What will be in there IF I need to take a vacation bigger than 15 days - will the home page be empty? Also, I don't want Twitch to decide who I suggest displaying on my home based on any list (no matter which list is that) that I have already created. It feels more like "Twitch suggests these streamers" than "<streamer> suggests these streamers"




• Ok, that's the viewers landing page but where is the streamer version of it? If there is one already, where is it?

The Schedule tab:

• Unless there are plans to remove extensions from Twitch, having a schedule there is something worthless. Extensions like the one I use for my schedule already give me the control I need and it shows my streaming schedule on the viewer's zone time.




• If the plans are to keep that schedule, give the streamers more freedom to create a general schedule instead of requiring fields that most streamers decide minutes before their stream session. Remember not all streamers have a tight schedule to the point they can decide what will be their stream about and which title will they use for it. MOST OF US (at least from what I could see) like to change/select contents and titles hours/minutes before going live... So how will be our viewers be notified if streamers change their minds about that? Title and category should not be required fields. I will use myself as an example: I like to be creative on my titles (and I know I'm not the only one). I create the title based in my mood, so how will I "pre-set" my stream title if I can't predict how will I be feeling on the day or time for that scheduled stream? The same concept goes for the category. Even streamers who are tied to a community may want to make a change for one day... What if this change is something that came out if mind like 20seconds before the scheduled stream?




• Having the ability to enable or disable the schedule display tab is IMPORTANT. NOT all streamers are full-time streamers to the point to have a solid schedule...




• Also, there is a BUG to report: when selecting "I'm not sure" as the duration of a stream, it's not possible to save the schedule. An error message is displayed saying that "Scheduled streams cannot be shorter than 30 seconds."

The Videos tab:

• There is no use to that IF we consider the new HOME page will keep as it is right now. So here it comes two considerations:

a) Either make Home and About a single page (removing about of course)
or
b) Make Home and Videos a single page and remove Videos.

NOTE: Having Home and About or Home and Videos is ambiguous because Home in this new layout is doing the same as Videos (with less power of customization) and About is doing what Home should be doing.

Chat tab:

• I already made my considerations about this at the beginning of this. Just create something more intuitive, either by renaming that "chat" to something that resembles the fact that THE STREAM TAB is now there and make it display when/if the streamer is live. Any WEBSITE design has to be intuitive for their users and THIS NEW LAYOUT (and its hyperlinks naming) is FAR from being intuitive.

The Top banner:

• Allowing the streamer to select what kind of contents will be displayed on that carousel is a MUST... What is the point of:
  a) Home showing past stream sessions;
  b) Videos showing past stream sessions;
  c) That carousel showing past stream sessions...

That's all "our channel" is about? Past stream sessions?

• For real? 60 seconds to an intro/welcome? Is this any kind of joke that all the intro about myself which ARE ALREADY on the panels will have to be condensed into a 60secs video? If that layout will be kept that way, so make this intro video bigger than 60sec - it's a complete BS limiting the time someone has to introduce themselves... You have to consider that NOT EVERYONE is equal - you have streamers with mental health sickness and 60 seconds wouldn't be enough for people like those to even say "HI". THAT's my introduction video, I want to make it last as much as I take to introduce my self to ANYONE in real life.




• Will that "purple" ugly background on the top of the page remain there? Is that a joke, right? What are the new dimensions for the image that will replace that thing? I feel the urge to replacing it ASAP.

As a viewer who only sparingly watches any stream other than the small handful I like and would actively not like to see a bunch of streams I don't have any interest in, every single aspect of this UI update is terrible, inconvenient, ugly, obtuse, and otherwise was a bad move. When I go to a channel I do want to watch that's offline, I'm assaulted by whatever person that streamer is hosting and have no option to either stop the hosted channel from appearing or to remove the elements I don't like from the offline page. The offline page is hideous, the background to this little tiles thing is blindingly bright, and if I pause the hosted stream, like I do instantly every time, and scroll through those tabs? When I come back around the video starts again. Literally the only thing I want to see or have ever wanted to see when I go to a stream that's offline is the offline image of that streamer.

The blog post that led me here said that community and streamer feedback was involved in this process, but I find that hard to believe given how this type of update has traditionally gone over on every single platform that's done it. If you had actually taken feedback from people, you would have realized that no one ever likes UI updates, they simply tolerate them long enough to become the new (worse) normal until the site redesigns again, and again, and again, and eventually becomes so utterly unusable that people leave for more user-friendly alternatives. This is why at a certain point in Twitter's endless tinkering with the layout of their site, Tweetdeck became a thing; it's a simpler, more straightforward way to access the same content minus the UI problems on the main site.

BTTV's options did a lot of that simplifying and easing for me before the update, and it's an incredibly common and popular extension for both streamers and viewers because of this (and the emotes). I was positively GIDDY when I found out I could stop seeing hosted streamers, for example, or move the chat to the left of the screen, or change the background color every other message to make the chat more readable. Y'know, quality of life features Twitch should already have and doesn't for some reason. Probably because the team that would be implementing those QoL features was too busy for a year creating a new layout, if I had to guess. It doesn't help my opinion when the general consensus seems to be that there are obvious features missing, which tells me that a year was absolutely not enough time to get this completed and taken live globally.

So, here's my idea. Fire everyone involved in this decision from the top down, hire the BTTV people, and let them clean up the last team's mess. I realize you probably paid some graphic designers a very good amount of money to make this for you. I mean it took a year! Unfortunately, the end result is awful. Take it as a lesson and hire someone with any amount of talent or understanding of the platform to fix it.

I really enjoy how much cleaner the new page is, but currently there is no good place to put links to affiliated websites, sponsors, etc. I personally would like to see a lot more customization given to us on these channel pages.
It would be a nice addition to have custom rows for what previously existed in panels.
The ability to have rows of curated uploads, clips and highlights would be a welcome addition for those new to the channel who want to see more than the channel trailer.
Adding in a customizable layout (like in the videos tab) would help with all of this.

Right now, when hosting another channel (both autohosting and manual), the only indication to a viewer that I'm hosting and not actually live, is the small text underneath my username saying "Hosting SoAndSo".

Viewers will miss that. Nobody will see that. I had to specifically look for it when I thought something was off and I was seeing person A streaming on person B's channel.

The old colourful banner across the page that said "ThisPerson is hosting SoAndSo" and provided a link to their channel was a lot clearer. It communicated this in a straightforward, obvious way.

Now, the new way of showing this might be an interesting take on increasing viewer engagement with hosted streams, but viewers also need to be made aware that they're not watching the person whose profile picture and name is big and prominent, or else there will be a lot of confusion, and perhaps a lot of accidental unfollows.

I love the new schedule section, and I love that it puts a VOD there when the stream is over. However, multiple times a week I and many others are routinely a guest on other channels that I would love to feature in my schedule as well. So many of my viewers are constantly asking, what time and what channel, it would be great if I could direct them to the schedule page and it will not only show them what I'm streaming and when, but where I'll be. (If they were able to smack "follow" or "notify me of this particular stream" while they're looking at the schedule, that would be extra A+)

The new channel page layout (released around 12 May 2020) doesn't respect auto-play settings from browsers. I've tested it with Firefox and Google Chrome across macOS, Linux, and Windows, and nothing sticks.

Specifically, the page that shows VODs with the stream playing behind the content just continues to play with video and audio, despite my browser settings being set to block auto-playing video and audio. If I go directly to the "live" page with the chat box, the video doesn't start playing automatically.

Having a moving background behind what I'm trying to look at causes immediate motion sickness and I have to quickly close the tab.

Please allow for auto-play video and audio to be blocked on this new channel page.

I think the home page needs to be more modular. When you're offline you should be able to display what you feel new viewers should see. Allow the extension system within the home tab or something similar so we can make our channel feel catered to our audience! I want to be able to put up an upcoming stream tab or even share some current information. Maybe even a news feed, so that streamers can communicate directly with our viewers without having to rely on things like discord communities or other social media. We need more options for when we aren't live!
