  1. It would be useful (and user friendly) to have a way for those who typically stream in multiple diverse categories to create tag profiles, so that when they switch categories it automatically updates (removes / adds) tags they've preselected for that category.

    IE I stream games & Just Chatting / Crafters & Makers. For the Just Chatting / Crafters & Makers streams I typically use crafting, resin and a couple other related tags. But when I'm streaming games I don't. 90% of the time I remember to pull the craft related tags for gaming streams or add them for the…

  2. Restrict/add new rules against what creators can enter into their live notification to prevent live notifications that try to essentially lie to the viewer.

    Examples I've seen recently:

    Creator/Someone has mentioned you in chat! Click to view!
    Creator/Someone has given you a tier one sub!

  3. 10 tags is just not nearly enough, especially since it's completely free-form and you may want to have multiple variations of similar tags to increase discoverability. I think I'd be happy with like 25, but other platforms allow way more (YouTube has a character limit instead of a tag limit, but you can get like 50-100 on there).

  4. Often times setting the category of the stream does not work. If you type something that is moderately long you do not get search results. A workaround
    for that is to use a chat bot.

  5. I regularly stream from PS4, and found an issue where streaming certain games causes the category to get changed to "Games + Demos", even though a more specific category for the game exists(Example: Soul Calibur VI). From what I gathered researching this, it seems like minor differences in how the PS4 submits the game category causes Twitch to not recognize it, so it defaults to Games + Demos. The workaround is to manually correct the game category in Stream Manager, however doing this for every stream gets cumbersome, espec as I also have to do it again for VODs afterwards.…

  6. A button that easily allows me to send another live notification if I'm streaming long hours. I like to change my stream info/title.

  7. Add a Collaborators section near the stream title/category to allow viewers to see and effortlessly find/go to the channel with whom you are streaming.

    Adding the names can be done quickly through the Stream Information panel via adding the channel names e.g. "@kiddabob". The channel that has been tagged can then receive a notification that will allow them to either confirm if deny the collaboration.

  8. Streamers often say put the time of events in their stream title
    E.g. "Twitch Rivals Finals 20:00 PST"

    The time should automatically convert to the the viewers local to e.g.
    E.g. "Twitch Rivals Finals 02:00 GMT"

    This can be done by adding auto detecting date formats and converting them to the viewers local time, or by allowing the streamer to add a "time element" in the title which allows them to specify when they are adding a time

    Twitch is a very global and time relative platform, this just makes sense

  9. German:
    Es wäre Super wenn es bei Stream-Info unter Kategorien den Rust Editor gäbe und man nicht über das Game Rust arbeiten im Editor Streamt. Das Verwirrt die Zuschauer sonst.

    Danke im voraus

    English:
    It would be great if there was the Rust Editor under Stream Info under Categories and you didn't stream via the Game Rust in the editor. Otherwise it confuses the audience.

    Thanks in advance

  10. Many people in the world i believe mostly at least bilingual, or even rarely some people speak Trilingual and Multilingual, so in the dashboard let us for streamers to choose what language are we broadcasting. For example "English" and "Chinese or "Korean" and "English" or even rarely maybe? "English" + "Korean" + "German"

    Hey there!

    Though we have not yet added support for multiple language tags, we have added more than 350 new options that we think may help out with this particular ask.

    For more information, you can take a look at our blog post at https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/26/celebrate-yourself-and-your-community-with-350-new-tags/. Thank you for your feedback and ideas!

    We will leave this topic open for now for further discussion around whether this meets the needs of the request.

  11. Hola, después de recibir varios correos del equipo de soporte dándome largas o desviando la conversación me gustaría proponer la idea de que se integre dentro de las opciones de la transmisión la posibilidad de seleccionar como idioma cualquiera de las lenguas cooficiales que hay en España. Sí que aparecen el castellano y el catalán, pero no otras como el gallego o el vasco, algo que me parece limitante y discriminatorio. Ahí queda la sugerencia. Un saludo.

  12. First of all, I want to thank you very much for having tooltip/mouseover text to look at the description of tags when searching for new tags.

    Especially when changing categories/games midstream, it would be very helpful for creators/editors to get a refresher of the description of each tag that is already applied so that they can make sure selected tags are still accurate and relevant.

  13. Imagine being able to use the schedule system where you can configure what the stream title, game and tags say for that scheduled stream. That'd save time and would be a great way to help streamers with that kind of automation.

  14. Whenever I play a game then switch to a new category, it changes and even when I refresh the page it changes correctly, but when I go back and view the VOD, the category doesn't change at all but it does say there are different chapters. When I clip something, for example something in VALORANT, the clip says i'm playing ARK even though the chapter says it's the VALORANT chapter and the game category was changed to VALORANT.

  15. I've always disliked that you could only stream in one language when I speak multiple languages. So I was happy to see that you can add a language in tags now, but since there is the stream language too, it hasn't really fixed the issue. Example: I'm Norwegian, so I want Norwegians to find me, BUT if I put English in stream language (since I mostly speak English on stream), and Norwegian in tags, and people that search for Norwegian, they have to choose between two identical Norwegian tags when they search in tags; one "Norwegian" is Stream Language, and…

  16. Twitch Studio currently requires you to select a category to begin streaming (will not proceed if one is not selected). Sometimes I would love to stream for friends / followers without necessarily being very discoverable via a category. This is possible through Twitch normally, so would love for this option to be available on Twitch Studio as well.

  19. It would be great that twitch could detect our most used games and autosugest them when we enter the game (in the stream settings) that we are gonna use on the stream.
