  1. This entire idea of Boost this stream is amazing. As a content creator I am more than happy and ecstatic at the thought of maybe having this on my own channel. Although I see this tools usefulness in aiding smaller streamers grow I feel that certain criteria should be in place before becoming eligible to have access to a boost. For example: You can't get boosts on your channel unless you are an affiliate, You can't buy boosts in anyway shape or form for yourself and you can't get boosted if you are a partner. I feel the most important…

  2. The boost this stream should be based off streaming hours instead of 2 days. For example, I got the "boost this stream" challenge the other day, but I was ill and had to cancel my stream the day after, then the day after that is my off day.

    It will now be missed because we were just short on the day it came in as it came in at the end of my stream. Instead of it being 2 days. Have it be the next x amount of hours streamed. This gives people the chance to hit the goal if…

  3. When the boost this stream happens everyone raised 25k Channel points in under an hour, so if every time the goal is completed on a stream make the next time for 50k and the stream is shown to 5.6k people!

  4. Instead of spending channel points to boost the stream, could the boost bar be filled a bit every time someone collects their bonus channel points? I love channel point rewards and I hate the idea of people choosing between boosting my stream or redeeming them for fun. This way people can fill the boost bar by actively watching, and still use their points for what they like.

  5. Show live via a Twitch Ambassador streamer or another Twitch official channel how this works.

    If the boost system in any way can be used to over take those with a smaller audience, by having a 200+ viewer channel boost it's way in front of a 45 viewer channel, then there lies an issue.

    I wanna see what it does before making assumptions if it's a positive feature or not; whether I want to support the feature or not. As of now, it seems fine but I would love a live feed demonstrating how it functions, and answers to questions…

  6. One thing bothers me about the Boost: people are suggested to me that I can't understand because I don't speak their language. It would be nice if these promotions were more specialized.

    For example, if someone often watches German & English streamers, that they are suggested to him.

    What should I do with a streamer if I can't understand him?

    Also, by being "Promoted" you don't see the viewership & you can't mark the person as "not interested" like you can with normal streams.

  7. whether or not, we all know boosting can help, but, to what degree? If boosting is a mainstay feature, why not make it more noticeable. Increase its use so more people can see smaller creator streams. If it requires more channel points to boost, to get the results, so be it. However, having the stream boost does little to nothing in terms of discovering new streamers on the platform.

    The boost feature should be just that. It should WANT new people to discover new streams, even if it may not be what they initially wanted.

    for example: if a channel…

  8. What about add a posibility for viewers to tip each other?
    Like send about 10 points for a message, that was in a chat.
    Also you can add an icon near the message with number of tips.
    To avoid abuse moderator would be able to cancel tips.

  9. I feel like this does favor big streamers. Like, sure you can scale it this way or that. But if you have 0-5 viewers, this won't do anything for you. Perhaps if you could accumulate these points and use them to raid a small stream?

  10. what if there’s a system where if a smaller creator, and I mean someone who posts content/streams, boosts a larger creator via channel points, they get a mini boost of their own by a thing popping up in chat saying “this person booted this large creator!” & they get a little spot on the main page. just an idea

  11. Let all channels ask their viewers to Boost This Stream. Except perhaps the channels who don't need boosting but are already doing fine for viewership.

  13. During a boost, as it's described now, people can use up to 2,000 channel points. This isn't an issue for viewers with a lot saved up, but more casual viewers might have to choose between other channel point rewards and boosting. To fix this, making it so channel points spent on any reward during a boost contribute to the boost could help. This makes boosts feel less like a waste of channel points, and could make boosts more hectic and fun. However, if a streamer doesn't want this, they could maybe set a limit on the number of redeems that…

  14. If you advertise my channel on the main page, means what? There will be people interested playing Metin2? Just an example. The mixer idea was very good, a special channel in each category, hosting randomly streamers playing the game in the last 3 squads left (Fortnite/Apex Legends) In this way, the small streamers get advertise to the right type of viewers which are actually interested on that type of content. Just an idea .....

  15. So being part of the boost your stream beta I have noticed that 2 days is a really short time especially if it launched when you are not streaming the next day. I think giving 4 or 5 days would give the streamer less stress about having this amazing opportunity.

  16. It would be more easier if big streamers and partners did receive a bonus for hosting and raid and promote smaller channels.
    Twitch is going to have a massive issue soon.
    After the pike of growth and quarantine demanding at some point in 2 years from 2021 (or less). Twitch will get boring because the only people who get to survive doing this are the big streamers massively caputing viewers for what?
    Plain same show, just shouting and screaming and doing non-sense. Ceelebreties with teenager actitud. This will work as long as viewers always remain teenagers ?

    If big streamers…

  17. In my opinion I feel that this is a massive step in the right direction for people to get noticed more , the one thing that would benefit the user experience in my opinion is being able to pause the boost.

    the reason i say this is because the user only gets 2 days to complete it.
    But if you receive the chance for the boost and your next day is usually a day off stream its hard to complete in one stream and therefore you are unable to benefit .

    This would give the user more control over how…

  18. bonjour twitch, je voudrais proposer mon idée concernant la visibilité sur twitch. je me disais que s'il était possible de créer des points pas pour les chaines comme il existe déjà mais plutôt des points de compte, et avec des niveaux, auxquels on pourrait gagner de L'XP en découvrant de nouveau streamer, ou aussi dépensé ses points personnels dans des accessoires personnels ou des utilités en interaction avec les streamers

  19. How about a way where if a small streamer or struggling streamer donates to a charity twitch is featuring they get put on a rotating banner on Twitch main page for feature. Must average below 10 viewers on average. It can be daily or weekly and if its a lot of donations then weekly to be sure they get promoted. Promotion stays up depending on donation amount. Just a thought.

  20. There really are very few incentives to subscribe to streamers channels and the rewards that you receive for watching are minimal. Similar to Mixer, viewers should somehow be able to spend their viewing points to help streamers boost their bit earnings.
