I have poor vision. Difficulty discerning small fonts. Difficulty picking out contrasts between similar colors. Mixer's new UI brings me discomfort because I have trouble picking out what's written in chat windows from the chat's background.

For reference, how the chat window appears currently...

...and how it looked before:

This is an accessibility issue that inhibits my use of Mixer. I'm forced to modify my browser output using DevTools to create a starker contrast between chat font color and chat background (relatedly, I use those same tools to increase Mixer chat's font size). Without those DevTools, I'd stop visiting this site altogether since I'd lose chat interactivity.

Now, Mixer does have a built-in way for changing a chat's background: The Chroma Key Toggle.

This function completely resolves my contrast issue (which I care more about than the chroma key effect itself). However, said function only works for my own chat - even though it only alters my perspective. If Staff would modify the chroma key toggle to work globally for a viewer, then this feedback would be satisfied. Of course, there are more intricate changes I'd find more convenient, but modifying the chroma key would create the starkest change in the least amount of time.

The mobile app does give you the ability to change the stream to audio only which is great for those with limited data plans that would be tortured by watching video, but it does have one issue.

Some of my viewers like to listen to streams while at work or out and about and the app stops working as soon as you lock the screen.

It needs to be able to run under a locked screen.

This means when people put their phones away in their pocket etc they can still listen as well as the added massive benefit to the battery life of their devices.

This is something the Twitch app does allow so would be nice if Mixer could match that as it seems like something that's more straightforward to do and in the end is a fairly basic feature that would benefit a lot of viewers and thus the streamers they're listening to.

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 and have created some very cool layouts using what we have now, however on mobile these nice graphics and layouts are pretty much destroyed and look horrible.

Since this is a common theme for many of the streamers on Mixer I would like to see some tools implemented into the description area to help keep these custom layouts going and help make things more mobile friendly.

I think a template system could work, this allows for users to create simple layouts that would be controlled by your CSS and makes for adding images and content simple. These areas could be drag and drop enabled so content can be moved around easily.

Another idea is to give us a grid system so we can create custom layouts similar to how you make buttons in Dev Labs. This would allow for custom content in almost any shape or size.

Also, for mobile, I think the best idea is to just have a separate section for what displays on mobile screens. Then users can decide what to show, what not to show, or completely change their content for mobile viewers.

One last thing! If we could add animated gifs, or maybe even video to these areas that would be great too. I tried adding an animated gif once, and your image optimizing processor, or whatever it is, completely messed up the gif and made it unusable.

Thanks Mixer, Keep being AWESOME!

We need to find a way to combat chargebacks and innovate something to protect partners and educate smaller streamers. It's getting really bad out there in our communities.

People can easily make new accounts. They'll make one, use streamlabs or PayPal " donate " and 10 seconds or less later, take the money back. Even if we say " All money is refundable", they will still do the chargeback.

We need something to stop this ..IP ban , put it in the rules of conduct, educate small streamers , make us all not put it in our mixer panels , make a command for mods only , make mod buttons on our firebot, mixitupbot just for the mods to push it ...just something to stop all of this madness with chargebacks.

There are a few of these things that have been covered in other posts but not all of them. I think there should be an overall rework in the modding system.

First, I know a lot of us mods who are all over the platform and mod for dozens of people would like some way to be able to see all channels we mod for or at least the ones that are live almost like a search filter or a tab in the manage channel section of the account. I think it would help people like me who may be modding up to 6 streams at a time be able to keep up with who is live. Also, as an option on that page there should be a way to forfeit your mod position, there are places where I have asked people to unmod me because they just modded me because they know I mod for a lot of people but there are also times I wish I could just relax in streams or I get too busy and don't have time to mod for some users any more or I was just mod to help them set up a bot in their stream. Lastly, to tie all of it together having a feature where you get a pop up that asks you to accept or deny being a mod so that people can't just mod you out of no where just because they can.

Also, with the addition of CatBot to the masses I think that maybe a channel editor in chat command to change what level CatBot is set to would be useful if a streamer got featured or raided by too large of an audience.

I know sparks generate extra revenue for partnered streamers, but what if we could team up with tiltify, and use sparks for charity?
That way, even non partnered streamers can recieve sparks, and they go directly to a charity of their choice (ie St.Jude or Extra Life)
Of course, there has to be a colaboration between mixer and tiltify for that to happen.

Basicly, a spark sesion lasts 1 week right? at the end of that week, have an option for partnered streamers to set up a tiltify for their spark bank.
And have non partnered streamers the option to do the same, but all the time, untill they decide to bank them (or auto bank every 7 days like normal spark banks)

With this, money from sparks could go to charity, IE 1000 sparks = $0.01, or more depending on the exchange rate of sparks to dollar ratio.

But i'd like to know what everyone els thinks.
Does Mixer think it's do-able? And do other streamers/viewers think it's a good idea as well?

Mixer twitter told me to post it here, because they said, and i quote "Sounds like an interesting concept for sure!"

I searched the Feedback Portal for "PS4". Over the first few pages I totaled up 303 votes over multiple different posts in favor for built in streaming to mixer on the PS4.

We all now it is a microsoft company but the Mixer team should still look into putting mixer support on ps4. Mixer has been doing very well in the streaming world with number of people on the platform along with helping to push the world of streaming. Another platform will only help push the limits.

303 votes (over multiple posts) should be a high enough number to at least start talking about supporting the ps4. Both with built in streaming and a Mixer PS4 downloadable app.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
