Mixer Feedback & Ideas
We love hearing from our customers. To help us build the best version of Mixer ever, we have partnered with UserVoice, a third-party service, to create this site to hear your ideas and suggestions. The teams working on Mixer regularly review the ideas and incorporate them into product planning discussions. While we can’t guarantee any specific features or timelines, we will read all suggestions, and we may also merge and rename suggestions for clarity.
Thanks for helping us to improve Mixer!

Different Featured Tabs for Paid Slots/Companies and Streamers
In the past few months, I've noticed that Featured slots are more often than not taken by companies than actual streamers. Realm Royale, for example, took up a featured slot every day for weeks. Mix that semi-permanent slot with other events/games and it can take up almost the entire featured carousel. These observations come not too long after the changes to the featured algorithm that were supposed to greatly improve the chances of a streamer being featured. Having these featured slots taken up, and for such a long time, hurt the exposure and possibilities for streamers trying to grow.

Filtering Games Out From Front-page
I feel like there should be a filter option to remove certain games from the front-page so that it is easier to discover new streamers / games you wouldn’t really see. For example I would like the ability to hide fortnite and Pubg streams. I feel this would both benefit the viewer and streamer in terms of discovery.

In-app donations
Mixer really needs some kind of native donation tool like how Youtube has Super chats and twitch has bits.
3rd party donation sites require viewers to leave the stream, which means they might miss something. They're also not as secure, people can chargeback paypal donations and put financial strain on the streamer. This is why many streamers aren't comfortable taking them.
Plus, it encourages donations by allowing mixer to give small benefits to people who donate. Like how superchats let you pin a comment to the top of chat, or how bits give you a special chat badge.
Finally it…

Add Artist Related Links to Profile
We artists have different websites that would be useful to link on our profile like ArtStation.com and Deviantart.com
Both are major websites used by artists as portfolios and would love to see some support for them!

Turn Stream Saving On as Default
Please change the default setting to SAVE EVERY STREAM and DO NOT change it back to default without at least a warning letting the streamer know that the stream is not being saved. Today is the 7th time your streaming service has deleted a prolonged stream I was conducting. I have lost the 2 hours of today that I spent using your service, thinking my stream settings were the same as I had left them. Lo and behold it had reset back to Do Not Save streams. Its really rather pathetic to me that I have to raise this as…

Make the Channel description area more dynamic
As an artist that has created several stream layouts for friends on Mixer I would really like to see something more added to the description area to give us a bit more creative freedom.
Currently, we have very limited tools to create good content for these description areas, and for some, they settle for “good enough” because it is hard for them to figure out. I have had to help a few people tweak images to make them look decent and it requires some secret HTML/CSS magic that can be buggy at times.
Several streamers add graphics to their description…

bandwidth
Mixer uses a lot of bandwidth, both on XBox/PC and mobile phone. When a streamer resets the stream during broadcast hours, it defaults to the highest settings. This occurs even when those settings have been set to their lowest values. I have monitored the data usage using network tools.
If I don't limit Mixer (FTL off, Audio Only on), it's not uncommon for it to use 3GB of data within an hour while only watching one stream. This happens both on XBox/PC and on mobile.
On XBox/PC, I have Comcast/Xfinity. They impose a data cap of 1TB. Using Mixer with…

Enable Past Streams by Default (or include a notice and a link on the Past Streams page)
It would be nice if any of the following were true:
1. Past Streams are activated by default
1. the Past Streams tab is invisible unless recordings exist and the settings are configured correctly
2. the Past Streams tab mentions anything about that feature not being activated, or a link to the settings page, or really *any* indication that this feature which is pretty commonly used on other streaming sites is not enabled by defaultThis was a poor UI design choice and presents a poor user experience. I signed up to Mixer because it's the default streaming site on…

Hide recommended streams
On the Xbox one dashboard on the mixer tab I want the option to hide certain games since all recommended streams are apex, fortnite and pbug and I hate these games and every time I visit the mixer tab I'm reminded how much i hate them! I hope there be a option added to the Xbox mixer tab to hide the games you don't wanna see !!

Follow All Button in Costreams
It would be great to have a "Follow All" button on Costreams that would allow a viewer to follow all the streamers who are currently in the costream. User's would still be able to hover over a streamer's profile picture and follow an individual streamer.

Subscriptions
Very good day, I decided to create this post and make this message to see if there is any option to consider the implementation in the near future the possibility of giving away subscriptions to other users of a channel in which this option is available, similar to the option that is already available from mixer pro, in addition to being able to also add the option, if it is possible, to be able to subscribe immediately to a channel for a longer period of time, something like a subscription for 3 and 6 months, in addition to the base…

Pause Screen Wallpaper Edit for Mixer on Xbox
My idea- Be able to change the background on the stream, for when you pause or change games. This is Xbox Mixer exclusive obviuosly. But when you pause the stream you get the blue living room with a couch and cat clock, it would be nice to change this to a custom wallpaper users could create and upload, just like the wallpaper for when you are offline.

MixPlay & Chat share space (PC)
On mobile devices, MixPlay and Chat share space.
Why not on the PC?
It could be an additional optional way.PS: The page design is just a own creation.

CO-Stream auto end.
when in a Co-Stream if one member of the stream goes offline or ends the stream the Co-Stream should automatically end. i have found great irritation with this not being the case as i can find no way to remove the "Streamername is offline" screen thus leaving me with the only stream i want to watch being half the size i want without having to put them into full screen.

Fading Interface
When you stream on PS4 using Twitch, one of the neat features it has is the overlay interface fades away & doesn’t remain on the screen. I DO LOVE that when you stream on Mixer through your Xbox One that you can move the overlay to different positions on the screen but sometimes I just want it to fade away. It can be distracting and obstructive when your trying to focus on the game. I really like the route Twitch/Playstation went with this on their platform & would love to see Mixer give this as an option as well. Thanks…
