I would really like to see a genre search option on the Mixer streams page, so viewers can easily search tags such as "racing" "sports" "simulation" "MMO" "BR" "RPG" "story" "single Player" Multiplay" etc.. Streamers themselves could add these tags to their stream title, in a similar style to what you can do on steam when searching for games. Rather than viewers having to search for individual titles themselves. This would help streamers massively, especially those , such as myself, trying to build a community around lesser genres that traditionally do better on Twitch.It would also get less well known and newer games more of an audience. New streamers would not feel restricted to the popular titles in order to try and get noticed more easily.

Uma função que deixa muito a desejar é o CLIP. Quando criamos e abrimos o link, o clipe é mostrado por uma modal sobre a livestream. Isso prejudica muito a experiência do usuário, principalmente porque a live fica "duplicada" (aba principal da live aberta e outra aba com o clipe e a live de fundo), consumindo banda de internet em dobro. Assim, quem enfrenta certas dificuldades em assistir as lives por conta de travamentos, video totalmente preto, dessincronização, dificuldades com as qualidades do vídeo, etc, fica mais prejudicado ainda com esse sistema de abrir o clipe sobre a interface da live.
Uma solução seria ter uma página só para visualizar o clipe, sem modal, sem a livestream de fundo pesando o carregamento da página.

Também seria interessante poder clipar os VODs. Muitas vezes, o momento passa e é melhor fazer o clipe após o término da live. E, se tivesse como configurar o tempo de duração e trecho durante a criação do clipe, seria melhor ainda. Teríamos mais controle e objetividade na criação do clipe.

Sei que o CLIP está em BETA no momento, mas seria de grande utilidade se melhorias como essas fossem implementadas.

Obrigado.

I was watching a stream & all of a sudden I noticed the UI changed ( it no longer says what level I am nor shows me how many sparks I have up top, without clicking my profile pic which is a pain ), not sure why it was changed as it's not like there's not enough space on the top line, I do NOT like this at all, part of the fun was to look up & see how many sparks I had & or if I was to use sparks I'd know how many I had ( without having to click my profile pic to tell me )... I've seen others mention same thing & feelings towards it... As the title says, please bring back the old UI showing us Level/Embers/Sparks on the top line... I did put in a ticket on this & was referred to post this here.

Mixer's anniversary site theme doesn't use space well. I'm personally on a 21" display with VSR upscaling my resolution to 1920x1080.

1. The top and bottom bars on the site create annoying letterboxing that doesn't need to be there on the sides. reducing the viewing area.

solution 1- Add a "cinematic mode" this would be just the chat and the stream using as much real estate as possible. with a togglable OVERLAYED Mixplay option. [Reference image "cinematic.png"]

Solution 2- lower the stream bar with the follow and name under the stream (we know who we're watching) and have the top bar pop down if you hover on the top side of the site.

2. Mixplay- Mixplay is really cool and really brings mixer ahead. It's a space hog though. making more letterboxing and using a LOT of space below the stream.

This solution is actually inspired by a bug on the site and inspired me to make this post. Interestingly enough this "bug" is actually exactly what i've wanted from Mixplay since the beginning (Screenshot taken from PXAbstraction's channel since i've been unsuccessful on re-creating it

Solution- Overlap the Mixplay buttons on top of the viewing window and maybe have the buttons opacity drop to about 10% when the cursor isn't on the viewing window (the hide/show button would still apply).

Moreover, the buttons could have a feathered blue or grey mask behind them to make them easier to make out over the stream. This would fade completely when the cursor is off the window. ["Mixplay 1" and "Mixplay 2".png]

About a week ago the row of Mixer only channels that included ChannelOne (plus) and all of the HypeZones was replaced by the Partner Spotlight row. I think the partner spotlight row is great, and I'm glad that is helping those larger channels get even more attention. But I feel like the Mixer only row of channels should still be on the front page, just underneath the Partner Spotlight row now.

The Mixer Only channels really helps the smaller partnered and non-partnered channels get some much needed attention. I really enjoyed stumbling upon an entertaining new streamer while watching a HypeZone or ChannelOne.

I know that these channels still exist, and they can be found by searching for them, but most people who don't know about them will never find them that way and other people just can't be bothered to have to hunt them down. Ease of use is key to getting people to interact.

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.

If possible, two different tabs or featured carousels would be great - especially as Mixer grows and becomes more popular in the industry. One for streamers that works how it should currently and another for "Industry Events" or a snappier title.

I believe this could help both everyone involved, streamers who would have more opportunities to grow and companies who would have their own section that would allow for more events/streams to be shown.

We need to get something atleast close to what twitch has when it’s panels below stream. It’s honestly probably my biggest gripe with mixer currently. Twitch makes it super easy to describe your channel, say what rewards/benefits(emotes etc etc) you get for subbing to the channel, describe yourself and your channel(about me), have links & descriptions for sponsors etc etc. Mixer is severely lacking on this aspect currently and it would be a huge step in the right direction. It was a big hurdle for me to finally get over and make the move to mixer myself so I know others are probably hesitant to as well. Making a move where you’re already somewhat established (2000+ followers) to a new site while also not having the possibility to do some of these things you’re already use to makes the move that much more difficult to justify doing. Panels and a possible “dark mode” would go a long ways aesthetically in competing with and eventually moving past the competitors.
