  1. The Problem:

    Currently, to get access to a specific emote, a viewer must subscribe to a channel. This system works well for supporting a favorite streamer, but it creates a problem for viewers who only want a specific emote they've seen in another chat. Many people don't want to commit to a monthly subscription for a channel they don't regularly watch, just to get one or two emotes.

    The Solution:

    Introduce an option to "rent" single emotes for a limited time (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days) using Twitch Bits.

    How it would work: Viewers could go to a streamer's…

  2. Like the idea to allow streamers to customize their founder's badges, would also love the ability to customize the artist badge. A painter's palette is nice, but my favorite musician friend who composed my starting theme gets asked about images he's created, and he doesn't do visual art. Would like to be able to dream up my own badge to show that my artists could be visual OR musical.

  3. Automatically extend Founders Badges to the first 25 subscribers (instead of only the first 10) if an Affiliate later becomes a Twitch Partner. Currently, Affiliates can only give Founders Badges to their first 10 paid subscribers, while Partners can assign it to 25. However, if a streamer reaches Partner after gaining 10 subs, the limit stays locked at 10, meaning loyal early supporters (#11–25) never get recognized, even though they helped grow the channel. If streamers still want the first 10 to feel special then let streamers choose to manually opt-in to unlock the additional 15 badges upon reaching Partner…

  4. Twitch’s emote culture is one of the most unique social languages on the internet. More than just reactions, emotes have become symbols of belonging, shared memory, humor, and fandom culture. But structurally, they’re still treated as static visual assets.

    I propose reimagining emotes as dynamic digital identity assets, deeply tied to viewer engagement, community contribution, and long-term presence. This would transform emotes into expressive tools of identity, culture, and even economic participation.

  5. Please for the love of all things good in the world, if you are a user who has their own emotes they should be pinned to the top to the emote picker (directly under the stream you are watching on BOTH app and web).

    Additionally, it would be very nice to be able to pin specific other channels that. I might be an "edge case" but I have so many subs and the scrolling to fine an emote it a terrible experience. Yes, I know I can "search" but I often don't recall the name of the emote.

  7. Twitch has grown exponentially since its inception, becoming a global phenomenon for live streaming. To honor the platform's roots and recognize the early adopters who helped shape its community, I propose introducing "Founders Badges" for users who joined Twitch in its early years.

    Badge Tiers:

    Justin.tv Pioneers: A dedicated badge for users who were active on Justin.tv before its transformation into Twitch.

    Early Adopters: Badges awarded based on account creation date, recognizing users who joined in specific early years (e.g., 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014).
    This badge recognizes users who joined the Twitch community before August 2014, the date Amazon acquired…

  8. I would like the option to remove unlocked bit emotes for other channels that i have unlocked. Sometimes you support a channel and receive bit emotes for cheering a certain amount, but then you can have some problems with said streamer and then your stuck with this emote in your emote list and it can be triggering. An option to remove the channel and or bit emote from your emote list would be appreciated by many.

  9. I think partners and affiliates should get more animated emote slots because of the sub price increase.

  11. Twitch and Microsoft have absolutely botched this recent Minecraft Promotion. I've had a stream on for upwards of six days now and still have not received the emote, but somehow I've received the cape redeem, which required more view time.

    Please reconsider your infrastructure before running another massive promotion that thousands of people are going to participate in (hundreds of thousands of people?).

  12. I think twitch communities could get nice addition from having the ability to have custom roles with badges. Streamers could have some role and some amount of that role to give for people and because of course keeping this feature running isn't free it could be that if you want more roles and more people with that role you need to pay some small amount extra.
    For these roles it could be nice to have ability to execute certain commands but this could be a feature that is implemented using twitch extensions (which to my knowledge could do this).

  14. A Badge for a Game developer that says 'DEV' in a box next to their name. It'll help player identify game developers of the game they are playing! You could code it to where the dev badge only shows up when the catagory is set to the proper game.

  15. Ive removed a few people that I regret removing. It would be nice to have complete control of who supports you the most and be able to select who you want the badge to go to. It's not exactly fair it's random and that you cant re-give it back to someone who is able to be more supportive to a channel then they were before. (this ex: someone took a long time off Twitch, so I removed the badge, but now theyre back and doing a lot of sub support. I should be able to re-give them a Founders badge…

  16. Optional badge for users who stream and not just view streams. This would give faster shoutout-response when streamer/moderator notices the (new&unknown) streaming viewer without the need to check users channel for everyone.

  17. Make global country badges so everyone including the streamer would be able to know where are you from.

    I think it would be very interesting to provide this information if you want, especially for the streamer.

    I'm from Argentina and personally I feel kinda awkward to type messages using slangs or other words that are particularly from my country in a Spanish or Mexican streamer's chat for example, even tho I know that everyone would understand me, so I think a feature like this would fit so well.

  19. Ich bin Emote Designer und schon lang Affilate auf Twitch. Ich habe gemerkt das viele Affilate Streamer nur Partner sein wollen weil sie ihrer Community mehr Emotes bieten wollen. Es wär toll wenn man also Affilate zb fast so viele Emotes freischalten kann mit subs wie ein Partner. so würden viel mehr Leute kleinen Streamern ein Sub gönnen.

  20. Hello, dear Twitch support community. Sword is way too aggressive and underrepresenting the role. Hammer would represent a 'banhammer' and shield would be a great icon to show that moderator is protecting the community.
