Hi my names Ste I am a mixer streamer by the name of TwistedLimit. I was wondering if a channel one for non partnered streamers could be considered in the future as I believe it would benefit a wider audience then what you currently have with partners also it would strengthen your claim to help new and existing content creators these days I have seen so many content creators between 0 and 7.5k struggle and become disheartened due to the lack of support to non partnered content creators.
I believe that this idea could change the balance to shape new/future content creators with support, encouragement, exposure and the ability to connect with other new content creators so they can help each other to grow in this ever so competitive environment.
Obviously there would be conditions thus streamers would have to meet but all content creators would be considered.
I do hope you take this onboard as it is very real situation that without the support of the brand that promotes its own content creators i would think they would take a little bit of time to consider helping those who need nurturing with the support you can offer as when a new or existing content creator gets hosted, talked to in chat even get noticed by someone it sparks them to be the best they can and encourages them to push hard to seek greater things.

I do this for all of those streamers that have struggled, have had a hard time finding the right people to connect with, need and appreciate any help that is received no matter how small it isi have a post on twitter about this the link is https://twitter.com/TwistedLimited/status/1095618185183805441?s=19
There are many other content creators that feel the same and i hope this does become a thing as it will benefit so many people.

I appreciate your time

Discontinuing the Xbox app is absolutely the worst idea you guys had. You took 3 big steps forward by signing Ninja, Shroud and Gothalion but then took at least 20! steps back by ending the xbox app and replacing it with something atrocious.

The quality of the stream is horrendous. There is no way to change it. It makes the streamer look like (s)he is streaming from a potato. Its very unclear on how to sub. Chat is pushed over the actual content. Its possible to disable it but its very unclear. Its also unclear how to send a message. The old app did this very well.

But the worst thing, the absolute worst, is removing FTL. Mixer's pride and joy is NOT integrated into the new "experience".

Be smart and reconsider discontinuing the app.

Mixer,

Whenever there is a tweet on Twitter about an issue on the platform, the response normally given (whether by Mixer or the community) is to post it here.

It gets posted here, and then... crickets tumbleweed

In the first two pages on this site there are post ranging from 30 - almost 1,000 upvotes. -None- of them have a response from Mixer.

It's all well and good that it may have been reviewed, discussed, or action taken. Though, without Mixer responding and closing the open communication loop; the community has no idea what if anything is happening.

No response looks like it hasn't been seen.
Looking like it hasn't been seen, makes it look like Mixer doesn't care.
It looking like Mixer doesn't care makes the community feel ignored.

The people here are your community. These are the people who love and care about you. These are the people who want to help improve the site and see it succeed.

I know that Mixer has Community Managers. Where are they? Why aren't there here responding to and interacting with the community?

The issue with the Farm/24x7 channels has been mentioned here for over a year, with posts going back to October 2018. Some posts receiving over 200 upvotes:

https://watchmixer.uservoice.com/forums/382521-mixer-feedback-ideas/suggestions/37214566-24-7-content

None of them have had a response from Mixer.

Yet the week a clip of TSM_Myth visiting Mixer's site during his stream on Twitch goes viral, Mixer conveniently has an announcement on Level Up Cast stating they have a plan to address the 24x7 farming channels.

Surely it is someone's job at Mixer to read and respond to the posts here on the regular? Surely this falls under the remit of a Community Manager, the Community Action Team or a similar role/team?

It's great that people are leaving PAX South and sending tweets of "Hey, I just had a great meeting with Mixer".

That's awesome. It's always good to see people looking forward with hope and optimism.

But thats a handful of people, and a handful of tweets.

What about the posts with upvotes here? Where hundreds and HUNDREDS of people have posted and upvoted items hoping for them to be addressed.

I'd appreciate some upvotes and shares to the social sites on this.

Hopefully it will get in front of the right people and there will be some positive difference as a result.

Cheers,
oJ

Hello!
I'm Jinkirin and I've been on Mixer for over 2 years now. I love the platform, but I also recognize there's a lot it needs to improve upon. I'm always told "use the feedback site", so here we go.

-Mobile App: Still very unreliable. My suggestion would be to nuke the app and start over. Get rid of all the bells and whistles and make it into an app that's great for viewing while encouraging the interactive side on more traditional viewing platforms (at least until the app is to a point features can be re-introduced without detriment to the viewing experience).

-Viewing experience: The experience viewers have with desktop, mobile, and even the Xbox apps are sub-par. Buffering, dropped streams, audio not working after unmuting a stream, Mixer taking you back to your page after a host, etc. Whether these are issues related to infrastructure or web design, I can't say. But this should be a focus for retaining viewers on the platform and would be a good investment long term.

-Streamer Progression: There's still no progression system in place and we've gotten no news or updates since its launch. Getting the progression system in place would help and encourage creators to push the platform more. (Reducing Ember overhead was a good start)

-Clips: Fix the existing clip system and make it a viable tool for the creators on the platform. Both partners, and non-partners.

-More search options: Simply searching by category is a dated system. Look at other platforms and they have much more in-depth systems to allow people to find the content they want to see. (Eg. Tags)

-Editor access to VOD downloads: Self-explanatory for larger creators who have editors on hand

-Free sub with gamepass: One of the top rated suggestions on the feedback site. If you want more info for this, go find the original post. Good to compete with twitch Prime imo.

-Platform sponsored events: I'd love to see more tournaments/community-focused events pushed out by the platform. The community does this from time to time, but the platform could benefit from hosting streaming events to bring the community closer together.

Analytics: Need a lot more data. Sponsors and other opportunities look at these and Mixer doesn't have a lot of the information many of these people are looking for. This results in less interest from outside investors because there's no good insight into the health of a channel. Analytics need improved reliability and much more available information.

There's a lot more that needs work probably. I'm no genie with all the answers. But I want to see Mixer raise the bar, rather than sitting on where it currently stands. So I feel these are some of the strongest starting points for Mixer to improve the platform for everyone.

Greetings Mixer!

In an effort to give a boost to MMO's on the platform I'd like to suggest utilizing Mixer Loot in conjunction with Elder Scrolls Online. ESO is the only MMO that regularly puts out quarterly updates on the same schedule. This is a great opportunity to capitalize on the hype Bethesda and Zenimax creates throughout the year as well as help drive the huge amounts of ESO fans to platform by offering incentives such as custom stickers, in game loots drops, coins, cosmetics, etc.. There is already a decent audience that frequents ESO streams and there are a good amount of content creators, both partnered and not, that are dedicated to streaming the game.

Mixer is more than just shooters/BR's and I think this is the perfect way to help get that message out to the masses.

Thanks for listening.

(ENG:) I think it would be good to hire Mixer's Guardians who spoke languages ​​other than English.
A lot of Mixer's energy is based on English speakers despite other countries, which causes misunderstanding in report messages or contacting the support.

Let me give you a concrete case: A French streamer friend's account was suspended for writing a message one who had no form of nastiness, threat, or contrary to Mixer's policy. After sending an email to Mixer, a Guardian explained to him that the language barrier had caused a misunderstanding.

It will also make it easier to monitor streams in other countries.

(FR:) Je pense qu'il serait bon d'engager des Gardiens Mixer qui parlent d'autres langues que l'Anglais.
Beaucoup d'énergie de Mixer est basée sur les Anglophones, au dépit des autres pays, ce qui provoque de l'incompréhension dans les messages de signalements ou les prises de contact avec le support.

Je vous cite un cas concret: Un ami streamer Français s'est vu faire suspendre sa chaîne pour avoir écrit une chose qui n'avait aucune forme de méchanceté, menace, ou contraire à la politique de Mixer. Après avoir envoyé un mail à Mixer, un Gardien lui a expliqué que la barrière de la langue a provoqué un quiproquo.

Cela facilitera également la surveillance des streams dans d'autres pays.

You just sent me an email saying you're removing the streaming feature from Xbox Game Bar in Windows 10. The feature's already implemented, works fine, and the email gives no reason for removing it.

So... why are you removing it? I use this feature all the time. If you want to hide it by default and give me a checkbox to turn it back on, that would be fine for me. But removing it altogether?

If I have to start up complex, buggy OBS every time I want to show a friend a boss battle or something in a game, I'm just going to not use Mixer at all, and probably also not share those experiences at all because you've put back all the obstacles you removed when you added the Game Bay in the first place.

If you're going to do it at least give a reason that makes sense, instead of an email that says "it's gone, if you liked it? Sucks to be you. You get no vote. Haha loser." (Which is what you might as well have typed, the message is so unfriendly.)

I had an idea for customization in regards to users being able to choose custom colors for their name. This would be a global change, not only visible on your end. People complain that chat badges would be too cluttered, so here's my idea.

Put a border color around the user's profile picture that indicates whether they're pro, normal, moderator, etc. This will allow all users to change their name color to be different in chat. The same colors tend to blend together in chat, making it hard to keep up with chat, etc.

So here's my simple solution.. this causes no clutter and users have more options to be different. I have uploaded examples I made in photoshop.

This pro user, the7egend for example, wants to have their name set to red. You can easily distinguish that they're a pro user due to the avatar border color.

This is something needed going into the future, as more people from Twitch come to the platform. Twitch already has this functionality. It's defnitely something people will want in the future.

Hello,

I would like to contact you for more information on partnership requests.

Because my community, myself, and other streamers meet the partnership criteria do not understand.

First of all, I would like you to understand that this is not a claim against my rejected request, but an exchange in order to better understand the partnership request.

1- did you take into account the region of the partnership request (for example, I am French, as well as other streamers who have already made the request and that it is also refused)?

2- To date, you are asking for an average of 40 to 60 spectators simultaneously, outside the French and French-speaking community and very few on mixers and that it is very complicated for us to get this even with trendy games. (Even one of your French partners can't get up to your recommendations and yet he is a partner and we don't understand his reason for obtaining it with these criteria!)

3- When I asked you, I told you of my ambition to help the French-speaking community with my knowledge of the platform and the services or software so that it can succeed on mixer. Many of the streamers I have helped (some of whom have become partners) appreciate the service I provide because of the lack of Francophone visibility and communication. Unfortunately, some of them left on Twitch again because of this and the lack of French speakers on the platform. It's been 3 years with this account that I'm on mixer, I'm proud to be part of your community, to have discovered Beam in February 2016. It is true, however, that with all the changes that Beam/Mixer has made since its inception, I have seen improvements mainly for English speakers.

4- Ghost spectators are a scourge that affects some streams (mine was once a stream), I was discriminated against and accused of bot with the threat of mass reporting. I am not the only one in the case who has suffered this (one of your partners has suffered this too).

5- the francophone community is therefore questioning the ccu you are asking us to set too high for the average statistics of francophones.

Looking forward to receiving a response from the partnership department, please accept my sincere greetings and congratulations to all the mixer team for the work accomplished on the mixer.

Thank you in advance

Hello Mixer!!
I had a bit of an idea that maybe you could draw inspiration from to improve the platform!

Bringing over Ninja, Shroud and Ewok has been amazing for Mixers growth, but typically when they hop offline, most of the viewership they brought in, come only for them and go back to Twitch or where they are most comfortable.

Introducing a way to bring them into other awesome creators streams, and showing the wide variety of content Mixer has, could really help Mixer expand and grow!

Here is my Idea: What if, Mixer had challenges to complete, kind of like Fortnite challenges, tied in with the Partner Spotlight.

Challenges could be:
Spend 5 minutes, in 3 new streams!
Update your profile Picture
Get to level 15 in (Partner Spotlight streamers) Chat.
Things that would make viewers, branch out and spend a little time, seeing the rest of Mixer as a platform.

Reward Example: The creators that were brought over, like Ninja, Shroud, Or Ewok, could have an exclusive emote, that you can only unlock if you complete the weekly Partner spotlight challenges.
The emote could be just one of the current emotes they have, but gold, silver or bronze.

Could also be a reward like: The option to change and select the colour of your text. These are just suggestions and I am sure you can come up with better rewards!
