    The team in charge of the Twitch mobile app should be fired.

    The home page update was bad enough but now when I try to watch clips they're cropped into portrait mode. When I turn my phone to get full screen: SURPRISE! SIDEWAYS CROPPED PORTRAIT MODE! Stop trying to turn your app into tiktok. The original content is filmed in landscape. It's made to be watched in landscape. Every update is making the app worse.

    What’s better or more convenient for streaming on Ps5?

    So I’m thinking about streaming but most of my games are on my PlayStation (vs my PC that maybe has 2 at most right now) and I’m wanting to look into overlays for my stream. I’ve heard some sources need a caption card to have your overlays show up on stream if you’re using your PlayStation and others say I could just use LightStream… so I’m curious on what’s better and/or more convenient.

    I’d greatly appreciate any tips, feedback and info! Thanks!

    App freezes every time I use it. Any clue how to fix?

    Wondering anyone else has the issue.

    For the last year or so, my Twitch app on my iPhone (15 Pro Max) Has constantly froze while watching streams.

    The streamer doesn’t matter, my internet connection can be perfect and it still happens, and it happens whether or not I delete / reinstall the app or fully update it.

    I can enter a stream and not make it 15 seconds before it starts stuttering. When it stutters/freezes I lose anywhere from 3-15 seconds of game play, and after each stutter I have like 15 seconds at most of gameplay I can watch before it does it again.

    It happens the entire time I’m in the app. As I said before, closing the app, reinstalling, updating, etc. doesn’t help

    Will this new Twitch rule mean I make less money from Ads if I speak about issues like the hatred the LGBTQ+ community faces? Can I not talk about LGBTQ+ issues without my pay being hit?

    This just seems like Twitch is trying to silence the LGBTQ+ community or hide us away. Please tell me I am wrong and misreading this somehow.

    Plus-Programm reached - Notification?

    Hello!
    Fairly quick and straightforward question. If you reach the 3 consecutive months of the 100 sub points and are therefore eligable for the plus program - how long does it take for it to take affect? Does Twitch send an e-mail? Because technically it should be today - the last 3 months all exceeded the 100 sub points.

    Thanks for reading and if someone can help!

    Best mic for up to 100€ (germany)?

    I'm considering upgrading my mic, though i'm not sure yet. Are there any good microphones for up to 100€ that are worth the price or should i stick with my old one until i've got a better budget?

    Favorite resources for tech issues?

    This ain’t for the faint of heart, let me tell you. Sometimes I think I’m too stupid for this stuff.

    Do you have a favorite channel or website or guru or anything you use when trying to troubleshoot technical issues? And I mean beyond just “search it on YouTube.” Like anyone who you know is easy to understand and helpful.

    We’re a couples stream, and our setup is a little more complicated than just click and go, so we’ve spent a lot of time trying to get things set up properly(two cameras, two mics into one pc, Elgato, consoles, etc.). I’m mainly just curious on who you trust and respect when things get hinky!

    New Clip Maker lags horribly

    As the title says, every time I try to edit a clip with the updated clipmaker it takes me so much longer than with the old one.
    The audio is fine but navigating through the unresponsive timeline to try and pinpoint a start and ending to the clip are nearly impossible, let alone play it back. The clip itself turns out fine, I just can't see it smoothly while editing it onsite.

    I don't know WHAT they changed but I can't be the only one having this issue?

    Streamelements is contacting me about sponsorships.

    Ive been receiving emails from streamelements telling me that i have sponsorship offers on their platform. as far as i can tell it is legitamate, when i go to their official website on my dashboard these offers do show up, so far ive gotten on offer from hero wars and one for monopoly go. but i wanted to get a second opinion, is the sponsorship safe? i ask this because i stream to no viewers and im not even an affiliate, so i was just a little suspisous.

    Stream Experiences & Stories

    Hey /r/Twitch

    We often see posts on the subreddit about viewers and streamers experiences, as well as streamers sharing what they've learned.

    To bring you all together to learn from your peers, and help you keep yourself accountable for any goals you've set, we created this Megathread!

    You are welcome to share some of your experiences, positive or negative, from your past month on Twitch and, if you did, how you dealt with it, as well as share your long and short-term goals, and how you've progressed towards those over the past month.

    The Megathread is not for stream feedback or reviews, we have the monthly feedback threads for that. You can link to your Feedback thread submission, be sure to label it clearly!

    Some things you may want to cover:

    • New things you tried, did they work out?
    • Streams you did and which seemed to be popular or unpopular with your community or new viewers. (Creative? New games?)
    • Progress towards your goals
    • Fun experiences
    • Bad experiences that you learned from, or need advice on
    • New goals, or how you're changing your goal
    • Advice based on what you learned
    • Advice you want

    Be sure to post your goals clearly and format your comment.

    Example post:

    Hey guys, checking in again!

    My goal for this month is to make sure I'm always hosting someone. I want my community to have someone to entertain them, even when I'm not live. Plus, it's good for networking!

    My goal last month was to always announce I was live on both Twitter and Discord, as it was something I often forgot to do. I'm glad to say I met my goal!

    I tried streaming some creative, just practicing using my graphics tablet, and it seemed to be popular! I'll do some more of it, maybe a weekly stream? Any advice?

    The highlight of the past month was when I got raided by Zcotticus, he's the best and I love him. He's so cool, I wish I could be cool like him.

    How do you guys normally react to a host? I sort of fumbled through a thank you, and that was about it. Any advice?

    Re-read your last post to remind yourself of what you planned, or check in on your peers!

    If you don't stream, but still experienced something awesome. Feel free to share it! Did you make someone’s day? See a Win or Fail? Let us know!

    Remember this is not for channel promotion! People can check out your flair* *if they are interested.

    If you have any suggestions for this thread, please send us a modmail.

    Anyone doing anything with Stream Together and Shared Chat?

    We've just added support for Stream Together and Shared Chat to Overlay Expert and it would be awesome if we can find some streamers to use the features in their overlays and provide feedback.

    Shared alerts:

    • show sub/cheer/raid alerts for you and your Stream Together guests, so everyone can celebrate on-stream
    • set separate alerts for just you (the host), just Stream Together participants, or the same alert both

    Twitch Chat Widget:

    • when Shared Chat is active, our Twitch Chat Widget will show messages from both channels and the profile image of the source channel next to each message (like in mod view)

    New alerts:

    • Stream Together started/updated/ended alerts, with updated alert showing the name of the guest joining
    • Shared Chat begin/updated/ended alerts, with updated alert showing the name of the participant joining

    New stream labels and dynamic items:

    • show list of Stream Together guests names, or single guest name by slot number
    • show Shared Chat host name
    • show list of Shared Chat participants names

    Creating your overlay is FREE, quick and easy in our powerful overlay builder, and if you end up trying it out, please let me know so I can watch your stream and see how everything is working.

    Also, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need help creating your overlay.

    Hey so I’m a small streamer and when I stream I only get maybe 2 or 3 live viewers at once. Then once my past streams go onto my page it gets more than my live views can someone explain this to me if that’s alright?
