Today's Mixer Android/iOS app update disables FTL by default, which will cause serious problems for any MixPlay games that depend on a low latency stream.

Our main MixPlay game will now become unplayable for anyone on mobile, unless they've re-enabled FTL. Obviously we'll be telling people to enable it, but there's likely to be a large amount of player churn with people thinking "well, this thing sucks" and dropping out before they realise it's because FTL is disabled.

Whilst the logic for having FTL disabled by default on mobile is understandable (and probably even preferable for non-interactive streams), it would be very helpful if developers could set a "requires FTL" flag on their MixPlay projects that either automatically enables FTL when a viewer loads the stream, or shows a warning dialog ("This interactive stream may not work properly with FTL disabled. Would you like to enable FTL [Yes|No]").

Limit what you see. I've seen a lot of people complain about how they don't like Battle Royal games (I personally like them). I personally don't like Horror type games. I'm sure I'm not alone with people having opinions about various genres.
The idea:
Allow an option on your account to select what type of games you see. If you don't want to see Battle Royal games, you select no battle royal games seen. As well as any others.

I know this can limit an audience greatly from a business stand point, but giving the viewer more options about what they want to see is similar to what Netflix, or many other streaming platforms, do.

This can also provide valuable data to Mixer as they can see where a lot of their viewers (who are willing and able to dive into their settings) want to see, or are most interested in for a stream; inversely what they are LEAST interested in as well.

Thoughts?

be reading. I have been a proud mixer member for over 2 years and I have seen streamers come and go. I have become very good friends with some steamers and I moderate for said streamers. I understand the reasoning behind you stopping spark money payments but the the streamer I moderated for not only loved his job but made a living off of it. With the spark payouts being revoked he can no longer do his dream job or make his audience (who were mostly kids) happy. As I said i understand the reasons behind the change. It means that future up and coming streamers can have their chance but that shouldnt mean that the people that worked hard to get in the place in the first place should face the concequences.

I really hope you take this letter as a plea to not change your system as i think it was great,

Thanks from a happy mixer user, Bubba24278

I would like to say how disappointed I am that some of my favorite streamers are leaving mixer for twitch, however upon talking to them, the twitch affiliate program is a very common reason. I think it's time Mixer has one of their own.

This would allow streamers to work towards a middle ground, unlocking the sub button and potentially getting 1 custom emote so viewers are also rewarded. Upon doing this I could understand requirement for partner potentially going up to 1,000 followers while the affiliate program requires 500, and instead of affiliate call it Mixer buddies, Mixer Arc, or something to differentiate it from Twitch.

Not only does this allow streamers to feel like they can achieve goals in a step by step climb, but also the Twitch streamers who are on the fence due to the lack of this 1 feature would feel more inclined to make the switch or come back if they were here before.

If this idea is considered I can even break it down even more on how this can be a success for both streamers and mixer themselves. Thank you for the consideration!

So I recently started watching Mixer due to Ninja switching over from Twitch. I watch on my iPad and I noticed you can’t leave the app while still watching the stream like you’re able to on Twitch.. this would be the only reason I would choose to watch someone on twitch rather than watching Ninja or someone else on Mixer. Hoping you can change it to where if I click my home button while the stream is open then it will still play in a small box at the corner of my screen like on Twitch so I can work on my iPad without having to leave the stream. Thanks for any consideration of this idea!

There HAS to be an Affiliate program.

Twitch has proven by adding an affiliate program that both they and their streamers make more of an income. The biggest negative feedback to the affiliate program was by the Twitch Partners who felt that this detracted form their possible sub's. There is no evidence of this as all streamers have variation in sub's and that can not be tied directly together.

Affiliates would get the ability to receive "Embers", a Sub button, a generic contact for mixer support, and a little bit of advertisement form Mixer would hurt. (ex. Channel two which showcases one affiliate a day and does not provide an increase in sparks like channel one.)

Partners would still have a personal contact at Mixer, still get all of the same current benefits like the ability to make money from advertisements, game/features purchased through their channel, sparks and everything else they already have.

This would allow smaller streamers to still make advancements as streamers and also increase income to Mixer. As an example without a feature or Channel one which is filled with lurkers farming Sparks almost ALL partners average 15-30 concurrent viewers throughout their stream.. This means they average (12K-25K followers) less than 1% concurrent viewers without the help of mixer. Where as non partnered streamers below 2k generally average the same if not a higher percentage. there is no fiscal reason as to why Affiliate would be a bad program to introduce. The only down side will be how partners feel about it and if Partners disagree with the program not only has Twitch shown it doesn't affect their partners, but it would also show that Mixer partners really don't care about growth of the community, but only of their channel.

Greetings all. So there has been a lot of talk about sparks and Non partnered streamers as of late and I wanted to weigh in on this. I am a non partnered streamer and still very much in the growth stage, and I will be honest that I was swept up in the heat that people were giving to this new skills release on mixer and a lot of non partners were up in arms about not being part of the monetary compensation for sparks usage. However once I really took a look at it and spoke with a few partners, I understand why us Non partnered streamers cannot be apart of that. My biggest concern with this move is that I did not want to see mixer taking the same steps towards a partner favoring platform. I still believe that mixer cares about its non partnered streamers and this is why I wanted to pitch this idea. I have observed that one of mixers goals is to create and encourage an environment where its streamers are able to support one another. One of the ways you did this was with this sparks so that people can support there partnered streamers without putting themselves out of money. So to continue to encourage that, and to include Non partners in on the support, I would like to recommend that you do a spark shareing program. An example of this would be that if someone came into my stream and spent 100K sparks, those sparks would be transferred to me as a non partner, but if those sparks are spent in a partners stream they would go towards the crystal (you could also do like a 50% or 25% transfer if you feel that the full amount is to much). In this way people can still support non partners, and the sparks would not be wasted, then those peoples could use said sparks to support there streamer of choice. I think this would encourage smaller streams to be more active in the community as well as give them the boost in confidence to continue what they are doing and maybe even fulfill a dream to be a partner themselves on day. I also believe that this would be a in a move to help support the mixer platform as a whole and make the platform a more friendly and supportive experience. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my idea.

Hello friends!

First of all, I want to say the roll out of Spark Patronage and Embers have been extremely beneficial to a lot of the content creators on the platform and I wanted to tell you guys you're doing a great job!

Secondly, I had an idea that might incentivize the purchase and use of Embers throughout Mixer. Currently, Mixer has two different types of subscriptions services. One being Mixer Pro and the other being the subscription to specific partners. Mixer Pro gives you a purple name, double xp/spark gain, and access to test some beta features from time to time. Subscribing to a partner directly gives you double xp/spark gain while in their channel (live), and emotes that you can use all across the platform. My idea is that when a user purchases Embers they are given a temporary 'buff' to their account that simply doubles their xp/spark gain for a limited time. This buff WOULD stack with Mixer Pro or partner subscriptions. If you're a regular user you get 2x xp/sparks. If you're a Mixer Pro member you would get 4x xp/sparks and finally if you're subscribed to a partner and in their channel while live you would also get 4x xp/sparks. This buff cannot exceed 4x much like Pro and subs don't stack. We could even make this not work in Channel One because 1. you can't spend embers in channel one and two it would also incentivize people spending time in actual channels.

This can be worked out to something like $1 spent on Embers = 1hr of 2x xp/sparks and can grant bigger bonuses for more money spent. $5 could give you 6hrs. This would not only incentivize people to purchase Embers almost every time they watch on Mixer, it would more than likely increase retention and active chatters in channels.

If anyone has any ideas they could think of to elaborate on this idea, please feel free to do so in the comments below. If Mixer would like to message me directly for any more information or ideas regarding this 'Bonus for Buying Embers' I can be found on the partner discord or Supa#1337 on discord in general. Thanks!

I think a serious problem with many games is people coming in and asking to play. Specifically for Fortnite, people asking for gifted skins. It takes time away from the streamer to address the situation or be spammed for not responding to them. Before someone is allowed to chat, they should be greeted with a popup that explains the rules of chat. OF course this popup would not appear for followers or subscribers. It will also warn viewers what may result in a timeout or ban. I personally hate banning or timing out someone for something that was not made clear and I have a very relaxed stream. But the spam of people coming and asking to play or for free stuff is getting extreme.

Hi I’m Heath Morgan. I am making a big trip for amazing videos and for a life changing experience. I used to be a YouTube content creator for other YouTube channels so I know how to arrange these and make good content to draw in a big crowd.

Video background
So online I have a small community of friends of 6 friends. We have all known each other for several years. Some of them I’ve known them for 7 years. None of us have never meet but are anxious to meet. We are all very good friends and tell each other everything.

Video trip idea
So the idea is to go on an cruise with all of them including their parents. This will be an expensive trip but it is needed. Many of my friends haven’t even been on a vacation before. If you help with this you will get something back in return. This will be such a good video. It will also be in very good quality.

What you will get in return
So the video will be definitely getting millions of views. You will get a big big promo in the video and a commercial made by me if needed. Also you will get all the money earned by the video for 2 years. So you can possibly make all the money back and still get my offers. You can actually possibly make more back than you gave me. You can push the video to be popular and then you have tons of thousands back. Youtube revenue is very good. I will also do Adsense. And also include paid sponsor. I will give you the money every month. Their will be 2 videos a surprise video and the actual trip video. From doing this video you will be highly noticed by millions of people. This offer is more than equal. You can get more benefits from it than me. But this video will be professionally edited by my Youtube creator team friends. You will be seen as a amazing company that helped with a amazing deed.

I have not made prices yet because I don’t know if sponsors are willing to help. Yes this will be an expensive trip but you will be getting a lot back

Heath Morgan

Hello m, I allow myself to write in the feedbackBack as indicated to me by the support.

I come to you because I would like to propose and suggest ideas for the platform.

First of all, I would like to point out that I am from France.

1 - I find it tiring to see lives 24/24 in trend ( I'm mainly talking about lives 24/24 which are only there to get the rewards on Paladins, Smite, Forza etc.)

2 - The partnership request is for my opinion, as well as other streamers with whom I am in contact too high for us. The French-speaking community is not very large, some streamers up Follow take the opportunity to go down some smaller (I don't say all of them, some of them even have higher status). Under your conditions you indicate that if you play TOP 10 games, you must have a certain number of views, except some partners do not even have the recommended number of views and yet its partner? Moreover if we don't play top 10 games we are almost not watching because people want to see Fortnite, Apex, PUBG etc. Apart from that, as mentioned above, the Francophone community is not very large.

Why not review the requirements and conditions by Region?

Why not obtain the opinions of the Streamer community when requesting the partnership? (Example: their opinions on the Channel, Content, atmosphere, suggestions etc.)

3 - Fight against the troll and the creation of fake accounts that allow you to take the identity of the streamers, fake profiles to promote yourself on other streams, fake accounts that are intended to insult and create a bad atmosphere between streamers (Because some streamers undergo this for months without the accounts being blocked or temporarily blocked). Why not block the account and IP addresses to fight it is nobody?

4 - Open a embedding system as on Xbox in order to propose to the community most suitable according to mixer to help the support to manage some problems?

5 - Since the launch of the language filter it is this easier to find streamers by language, would it be possible to be able to automatically save in the cookies for example that this person searches this language in order to avoid always putting the filter back or as from Microsoft sites detected the localization and propose content related to its localization.

6 - to be able to propose to the multi-language streamer to choose the languages to speak rather than one (example: for the moment I am in French, to be able to put English etc in addition?)

7 - Propose a referral link for the Mixer pro subscription? (Example: after 5 subscriptions purchased via the referral link, the streamer earns 1 month?

8 - new category "MixPlay Games" in order to offer the game developer via game interactions (such as mini golf)

9 - the return of the partner's support via the Sparks, this one allows everyone, including the youngest, to support their streamers financially. Because the youngest not the means and even the oldest do not necessarily have the means to support the streamer financially.

10 - Creator code system on Windows or Xbox Store. To date we can support a partner streamer via its channel by buying the game or doc of its choice, why not propose a system that would allow us to record the streamer for 15 days on the store and any purchases made also supports it?

11 - propose a better use of MixPlay via an HTML interface to create MixPlay only? Manage for example the inside and outside margins of the button, effects, css, etc?

12 - an easier description to do, manage margins and css, avoid hosting the link via mixer

Mixer is a platform that I really appreciate and am happy to represent. But the feeling of being left out scares other streamers to continue. Apart from me I want to continue to see it grow as I have since its launch! So I hope this message will be read here.

Mixer should display the number of actual people in chat next to the viewer count number. This number should be taken into consideration when displaying the top Mixer streamers. This would help eliminate situations where current viewer counts are being manipulated by embedding a stream into a popular website / wiki / etc (or other means). This would also help reward the smaller viewer count streamers that have built a solid active community that participates in chat. I am also sure that sponsors would love to see chat user counts as it helps them have a better idea on how many real people are seeing their product being used on stream.
