Broadcasting on Twitch

Can we add some kind of notifier on our profile page when we are broadcasting on Twitch?

Like TA does? This site doesn't have the resources to constantly update in real time.

People that follow you on twitch will get a notification on their xbone when you start to broadcast. Just wear something skimpy and you'll get more followers.

I built a little page that incorporates my twitch stream, twitch chat channel, Extra Life donations, and Extra Life status. So, this site could easily incorporate your personal twitch feed into your personal page. That would not be resource intensive at all.

I actually hate Twitch and the twitch scream notifications. I cannot find a way to disable the notifications on Xbox each time someone starts a stream. I hate it. Then I grab my iPad and go to the bathroom, and there are tons of notifications on there too. Irritating as hell.

You shouldn't get notifications unless you've turned them on via Twitch. Just go to Twitch.com, look at who you're following, and turn off notifications for each of them. Quick and easy.

I have all twitch notifications turned off, that was the first thing I did. I'm telling you though, people like Stallion (was trying not to name names) who stream every single night, and I assume are doing it through the Xbox, I get notifications and cannot turn them off.

The only choice I could find to disable them is move people off my favorites, and turn notifications off for non-favorites. Trust me, Buck, if I go to twitch.com and try to manage it there, it says I haven't even subscribed to anyone (turned off the two I was using for cheevos). I've never followed anyone on twitch.com that pops up on my Xbox. It's a friends list twitch integration that I cannot disable.

Weird. I had the same thing with getting a notification for someone I didn't want (on my XB1, email, WP), and went to twitch.com (on my PC, not my XB1), clicked on the person I was following, and turned of the notification for that particular person. Haven't gotten one since (and they stream every day).

I'll make sure to wear my fishnets and heels

I was going to take screenshots but I got busy. Looking in my Twitch I don't have ANY subscriptions. It's an xbox thing (like I said)

But, your frustrations with notifications on the X1 don't really apply to Marvz request for notification on someone's profile page. I would assume if such a feature was created, then each user could turn his on or off. I pretty much accept that if I go to someone's profile, then I take whatever crap they have on it.

Now, don't send me any GTN e-mail that some asshat is broadcasting. I don't need that.

Must be that. I don't have very many people in my favorites, and they rarely broadcast. I have a few others that I have notifications turned on for, so I assumed I only got them for people I subscribe to. I guess they assumed if it's one of your favorites, you'll want to know if they're broadcasting. Whole lot of assumptions. Maybe they'll add they option to enable/disable notifications for favorites, like they do with seeing someone's real name.
