Revve

yeah but in case if you lose your phone its pretty much a torture to contact all of the sites you used 2FA on.

2FA not using your phone is the better way to go when possible. We (at Twitch) just had security training where we covered how people are using social engineering to get phone companies to get your number on a new SIM to bypass the 2 factor on phones. That being said, you have to be a real target for someone to do that. I would imagine the people who are being opportunistic about reused passwords aren't putting in that much effort.

I know :).

That being said, please sit tight. We're finishing all the end to end testing to make sure everyone's new sub tenure is accurate when we launch. We will share the launch date as soon as we're sure we've squashed all the bugs.

The team is working it's hardest to make sure it launches as soon as we can!

It is retroactive. You do not need to even have an existing subscription for it to take effect. If you subbed for 6 months back in 2016, and 6 months in 2017, you can sub as soon as this feature goes live and you’ll be at 13 months, or sub now and it’ll be 14 months later when it goes live and you sub again.

I will have more public posting about how it works soon (working on some emails to broadcasters now). But I did tweet about it earlier so, yes it will be retroactive and you don't have to be subscribed to take advantage of it. You'll be able to reactivate and get your tenure back.

You found it. ^_^

Happy to chat with anyone who's serious about it.

It definitely varies from team to team. As a Product Manager, my daily schedule is quite intense with a lot of meetings.

My honest opinion is, which I would give about any established company, don't assume you can join the team you want and fix all of the problems. Things that seem easy are sometimes hard and sometimes things that seem hard are easy. Really takes some time to understand what's what at any company.

FWIW This hit me right in the feels.

I'm the Product Manager responsible for the new Dashboard. I'm reaching out the Brandon directly, as well as reviewing and prioritizing outstanding accessibility tickets and features.

I can't, won't, pin the blame on anyone or anything in particular; but I will promise to do better.

I posted in the other thread, but I just found this one too.

I'm the Product Manager on the new Creator Dashboard, and you can reach out to me directly, I'd love to talk about this and get a better understanding. Our goal was to make this page easier to use; it's clear that we also made it harder to use as well.

I can't speak for other teams but I can promise that we will be prioritizing work for the Dashboard related to accessibility bugs and features.

I'm bad at Reddit DMs but if you ping me a Discord or a Twitter profile, I'll follow up 100%.

Sorry, that wasn't my point!

My intention was to give you / your developers a starting point, because the bootstrap documentation happens to also be a good accessibility documentation :)

So I just wanted to suggest it as a first reference, especially since it not only has examples for HTML Elements (Input, textarea) but also concepts (like modal dialogs, complex navigations etc.)

Hope it helps.

We had a couple of calls yesterday with BlindlyPlayingGames and SuperBlindMan. It was a very healthy dialogue with specific things that we're taking away from it. It actually seems like there were very specific changes that we made that ended up hurting overall accessibility, where other things were still performing well. Luckily many of the things we build are reused throughout the site, which means addressing some changes in one place will cascade to other places.

We also identified that we've had issues routing these reports to the right team to take care of them. We'll be working on that as well, but I am happy to extend an open offer to help direct feedback to the right teams at Twitch.

Be looking for some of the changes that were discussed on the calls to be reflected in the Creator Updates section of the dashboard.

Randomly saw this, feel free to reach out if you want any help. I'm a Michigan Alumn so it caught my attention :).

Happy to provide a bit more context to all of these things. Let me just preface by saying our intent is to continuously update this product and make it more configurable and useable by all streamers (and editors).

• We're looking into this bug with Activity Feed (what I'm interpreting you mean by event list). This seems like a more recent bug.
• Unfortunately, we've communicated very candidly that we do not test BTTV or FFZ when developing products, I do not believe that policy will change
• We will be adding more top stats and adding the ability to add/remove to suit your needs. Our primary solve with stream health today was to be able to indicate when there's a problem. We can absolutely add a bitrate number as an option in addition to bitrate graph.
• Would love to hear more about what the expected behavior is with resizing. I think generally speaking anchoring within a window creates certain issues, which is why many users prefer popout.
• We are updating each metric to incorporate a hove...

Tbh a hover is not useful. I'm not going to hover over stats while my stream is live. I need to see the number at a glance, not alt-tab, move mouse, look at number, alt-tab back in.

twitch.tv/fgsquared

totally understood. We have a lot of data to suggest that most people don't have this window open when live, many people have the stats tab collapsed, etc.

There are ways we could explore this, the majority of streams I see that engage in goals related to staff typically have it in their streams and therefore in their stream previews as well.

I wonder if activity feed failure is due to channel points. It seems to hang every time there is a redemption.

The resizing issues I have with it are somewhat covered as well by FGSquared's comment. The elements resize to fit the space but not intuitively and additionally it doesnt seem to support scrolling? If I, for instance, have 6 items (3across, 2 high) and shrink the full browser to half height, it jams every widget into that space versus hitting a minimum size and then scrolling.

My use case for it is (again as FG mentioned) at-a-glance stuff. It is the only place I can see channel point redemptions (when chat gets moving they get lost fast otherwise). The other stuff requires me to dive out of the game to engage with (like ad breaks) but I dont need to have that stuff jammed in the window. So scrolling down to it would be fine (as with the current dashboard).

If, based on your comment, most people pop out the elements they need, would there be a way to have a custom URL that just has those elements we want in a window? Like dahsboard?activity/chat/stats with the same simple snap-to UI.

Regardless, I think the overall look and feel is great. The functionality and usage is just not quite there yet. I really appreciate you taking the time to lay that all out!

We’ll look into that. I think we’ve been having issues reproducing the activity feed failures, so let me give them this info.

We can definitely explore stats in popout :) hadn’t thought of that.

I know the team is actively working on an API that allows you to read redemptions for your channel. If that's a bit difficult to figure out (when it's released) then definitely try to get your bot to do it.

I anticipate that there will be extensions developers who actively try to engage with rewards this way, but running it locally will probably always have the best experience for your viewers.

Just to update, anytime I get a channel point redemption the activity feed freezes and requires a page refresh to load.

Awesome, thanks for the report. I'll get both the activity feed and channel points teams to look into this.

Can you give me slightly more detail? 1. Can you confirm this is new dashboard? (or old dashboard, or both). 2. Can you share the settings for the redemption that you've configured?

Hi Everyone!

We added an easter egg to the Creator Dashboard / Stream Manager to allow you to add / remove elements on the page (including Edit Stream Information).

Just go and push UP + UP + DOWN + DOWN + LEFT + RIGHT + LEFT + RIGHT + B + A to bring up this hidden menu.

Some of you might be asking... WTF? Why is this not just regular functionality? Why are you hiding it? You're dumb!

(hint: the last one isn't a question, but it might be true)

I'm posting this to share that we're continuing to invest in improvements. But simply put, the nice add/remove (which wouldn't require reloading) is not ready for prime time yet. We've been working hard with other teams to incorporate a seamless solution, but we aren't at a point where we think you'll be happy with it. At the same time, we know this is functionality many of you really rely on in the old dashboard, so we wanted to give those power users a way to add/remove.

"Ok idiot, why are you getting rid of the old dashboard then?"

I'm...

It shows the sub points on the new dashboard for me, right next to the subscriber count. That's weird that it won't show it for you.

We're gonna add it back for all users. Currently it only shows if you have a sub goal for an emote unlock. (so Partners who have hit 10k and Affiliates who have hit 50 would not see it)

We worked on the hotfix for this. It should be live now so editor access to video and such should be working.

It might be the URL patterns because it's now dashboard.

Hey there! One feature I notice was removed was the ability to open up analytics, channel settings, etc in a separate tab. Now the only option is to left click which redirects the whole page. I mean sure I can duplicate that tab then go back, but it's very inconvenient. Can you please add the option back to right click and open in new tab? Thanks!

Thanks for reporting, one of our team also caught this and we will be bringing it back.

Right now the dashboard saves in local storage. So if you reset cookies or change machines it will reset. We are working on persistence across machines as well as a way to set different layouts for different channels if you are an editor using the dashboard on someone else's channel.
