The feature's article clearly specifies only people who are live can knock on your stream, but this isn't even fully true. If you already have people on your favorites list they are allowed to knock EVEN if they're online. Whether this is intended behavior or not, it's just one more thing to the long list of things that are wrong with this feature.
This is literally an extra step to initiate stream together, you can just invite people while you're streaming if you want to. There is absolutely no point to this and the way they're just shoving this feature that you can't even turn off in everybody's faces is intrusive and very, very bad. Stop doing this Twitch, it's not the first time you release a feature and not let people fully opt-out of it if they don't like it.
