Hello I’m a long time user. Been using twitch for ~5 years. I’m an Automation Engineer.
The request is to have an option to automatically lower the quality of any stream which is not being viewed. A stream isn’t being viewed if it’s the current tab. This would be for Chrome and Firefox.
I’m sure we have two sets of users who would benefit from this.
-
Power users who have multiple tabs/streams open.
-
The millions of Comcast customers who just received a 1TB cap…
This would also be a huge benefit to twitch as it would take Terabytes of unused bandwidth off of their servers.
