Filter out obvious erroneous song detections A simple check will allow many erroneous DMCA "muted audio" events from ever happening. This simple check:
- Are there multiple detected songs?
- Are they ALL at exactly 3:00?
If so then they CANNOT be legitimate detections - after all how can you have multiple songs at the same time, and always, without fail, occuring at precisely 3:00?

When Twitch mutes audio thinking it's a copyright issue but its NOT When Twitch mutes audio thinking it's a copyright issue, yet it' truly original music, it should NOT be hard to get the audio UNMUTED. This has happened before, where the bot erroneously thinks its copyrighted material, yet it is COMPLETELY MY OWN SOUND DESIGN and not samples, etc. It's BEYOND ANNOYING in that the VOD after does NOT unmute after, and I'm left with something unusable. FIX THIS PLEASE.

Muting is impacting musicians performing works in the public domain I had a stream of myself playing piano auto-muted due to an erroneous copyright issue. I was performing Mozart's Sonata in C Major and Mozart's Fantasia in D Minor, and the copyright conflict was for other artists' rightfully copyrighted performances, not for the piece in question that I was performing.
I'm betting that the auto-mute algorithm could be smart enough to know when somebody is performing a piece vs playing from a recording.
Until this is fixed, this feature will disproportionately affect musicians using Twitch to perform works that are in the public domain.

Stop muting my streams when I'm using royalty- free music! So when I am streaming music from and channel titled... wait for it... NOCOPYRIGHTSOUNDS, why the **** does every single one of my streams have at least 4 muted segments???

Emotes need to be regulated, too I see a lot of affiliated and partnered streamers using characters from licensed works without permission as their emotes. Emotes should be regulated the same way as anything else – if you don't have permission from the original creator, you can't use it.

Licensed music- copyright accusations Brought music clips with license and still get claims. How can that be and why does it not know?

Clarification request re: game soundtracks The games I stream (Fallout 4/Fallout 76) have in-game radio stations, and these seem to be getting flagged; I imagine Bioshock and Grand Theft Auto would face the same problem. Can we have some clarification on how music that comes in a game is being handled? I don't have external music in any of my streams (unless I'm singing along with the in-game radio).

Linking twitch and music streaming platforms How about making a tool where we're able to link a music streaming platform (Pandora, spotify, SoundCloud) to our twitch.
Maybe you guys can find a license agreement where by having a paid account with the music platform and linking the two, we might be allowed to play music on stream. Maybe with a volume limit.
Perhaps a tool where we can play music from that does not get recorded on the VOD or clips. Kinda like a 2 track system where 1 is left out of the final mix.

It is not the responsibility of the streamer to identify what infringes, but the party who files the DMCA claim In your email you state
"For your stream archives (VODs and Clips), right now your only options, if you think they contain unauthorized music, is to either go through them one by one, or, for Clips, use the “delete all” tool we’ve provided."
This is utter ********.
When a streamer is alleged to have violated anything, that allegation should clearly refer to the video that violates, along with timestamps of the time ranges that violate.
Then, the infringing content can be taken down if it is deemed to violate DMCA.
You cannot expect that a streamer should pre-emptively go one…

GIVE MORE TRANSPARENCY FOR COPYRIGHT FREE CONTENT. More details are SPECIFICALLY needed for NO COPYRIGHT SOUNDTRACKS / sounds during streams. A lot of my personal archives and streams get flagged when using songs that have been listed on sources as COPYRIGHT FREE and still get flagged. The same goes for MULTIPLE other channels and something needs to be outlined for this proccess because somewhere, someone is doing something wrong.

Not having to delete a whole VOD when one thing goes wrong Mod command to introduce a deliberate EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY into the live m3u playlist and remove the last eg five minutes from a live VOD from public view. Saves having to delete entire VOD if something goes wrong - particularly for IRL outdoor streamers who have much less control over their environment!
Minutes as an optional parameter with 5m default? Command privs for streamer, mods and video producers?

twitch can pay for a music licence so then musicians can actually stream covers, and it not get taken down immediately Paying for music license so then copyright is not infringed allows users to be able to livestream and clip videos without being copyright claimed and potentially loosing their place on the platform. During these times twitch and other streaming sites are a life line to musicians

Allow streamers to set a default VOD description Allow streamers to set a default VOD description which would be automatically added to any new VODs created. It might include things such as credits for creative commons content they use, etc. so they can avoid DMCA strikes twitch seems intent on holding us responsible for and include stuff like their social links and other info.

audio I use a playlist from YouTube that is provided by the creator of the music to be DMCA safe for streaming. Most of the time, I have no problems with the music. But I currently have sections on three of my videos that were muted with that music as part of it. When I look at the appeal, the track and artist names are incorrect. Please have a look at the algorithm and refine it so it stops silencing DMCA-safe music.

a fully resolved audio video is still muted a fully resolved audio appeal has still "appeal audio/selected" option, with no selections, code logic bug, and the video has muted audio

Verify that flagged content is actually copyrighted I have two ideas that I think should be considered:
Have a way for streamers to contact Twitch regarding incorrectly identified content.
For Twitch to follow-up and determine whether there is incorrect information in their content checking system.
I regularly get muted audio and an indicator that I have copyrighted music in my audio loop of my stream; however, all of my audio is from the YouTube Audio Library which has already been verified as CC0 by YouTube, and it's freely usable on YouTube or other platforms.
So, there is no reason that these songs should be getting flagged on…

Twitch is a Public Performance Venue, why Isn't It Paying the PROs? The whole problem with public performance rights comes from the fact that you're a venue and aren't paying PROs. At the same time, I feel like you're really hurting musicians much more than game-streamers. Please pay PROs like you're required to do. This does not affect VODs or Clips, because that is sync licensing. However, for DJs and other performers, you are very much breaking the law by not having a license with one (or multiple) of the PROs. No wonder the PROs and labels are coming after you, if you won't pay your dues. In the same manner, it…

You guys can ban creators but you can't protect them from DMCA? This makes 0 sense. You have no problem banning people for inappropriate content or things you disagree with, yet when DMCA comes down on you, it's up to us as content creators to protect ourselves?
You don't get to regulate a platform, and then things get tough, decide you don't want the responsibility anymore. Either ban content AND protect creators yourselves from the DMCA strikes, or do neither. Doing both shows you're just a bunch of greedy pieces of crap who really don't care about your creators. I know your a company and your main thing is to make money…

Video games need to be included in copyright, requiring permission from the creator or sponsorship to stream. I think if Twitch is going to be taking copyright more seriously moving forward, then they need to include video games in that as well. As it stands, there are many streamers, both partnered and otherwise, profiting off someone else's work without their explicit permission or sponsorship. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but video games should require permission/sponsorship to broadcast just like any other copyrighted material.

Get a PRS license? A PRS license would allow copyright holders to get a piece of revenue from it, that sounds fair?
Could we stream copyrighted music if that happened?
