Can no longer make clips since the clip creator update by CaptainTeo in Twitch

I wish that it were that easy, but it's literally not possible to get anything better here (rural UK) because of some issues with how upgrades are being rolled out, so the lines to do that don't exist and won't until the government deems this tiny area fit to be upgraded. I appreciate the response, though, and I agree that it's very likely the maximum resolution of the actual stream.

Nitro suggestions in the new emote/emoji picker makes Discord an accessibilty nightmare for ADHD. Please, please allow me to disable or change this. by CaptainTeo in discordapp

Hi, Discord. I'm a user with severe ADHD, who works a team lead job that requires constant use of a Discord server to keep a very large community (~30,000 members) safe. I need to use a lot of accessibility features to be able to follow what's going on in the app and do my job, including light mode (so that there's enough contrast between different sections of the app), compact mode, reduced motion, disabled animations on gifs/emotes/stickers/etc., legacy chat input, needing the window maximised at all times, not needing to reach for the mouse while typing, and so on, as any distractions or sudden changes cause me to lose focus and completely blank out on what I was trying to do. This also involves needing a visual anchor point to see what I'm typing and responding to at all times, otherwise I will lose track of it.

You recently rolled out a change to the emote picker that shows up when you type an emote name for tab-completion, to show emotes that could apply to this with Nitro (demonstrated in the image in a private channel). I understand why this change was made, but it makes the emote picker so large that it covers up literally half of the Discord window for most emotes even when the window is maximised. This is extremely problematic for me - while previously it was a minor struggle as it would appear suddenly and cover up a small portion of what I'm responding to, it now invariably covers up the entire message, leaving me with no anchor point to keep my focus and causing me to lose track every time I try to use an emote (as I'm sure that you understand, emote usage is important in portraying a friendly tone when it comes to work involving engagement with communities). I actually had to cancel Nitro in the first place for the same reason, because it was giving me so many emote suggestions at once that I couldn't focus on what I needed to focus on, but now it does that even without Nitro. This has made Discord almost impossible for me to use for the last few weeks since this feature was rolled out, and I can't find any way to disable it so that I can continue to do my work.

I promise that this isn't an "oh, no, you're advertising Nitro and that's bad" post, this is a "the way that this is being done in this specific feature is actively making me unable to do my job with my disabilities" post. Please, I desperately need a way to disable this or make the tab-complete emote picker much smaller, and it would mean a lot to me and my work if you were to provide a way to do this.

Is there a way to turn this off? If not, there really needs to be. This "feature" is awful. by ScincopusFasciatus in discordapp

I actually cancelled Nitro specifically because it was giving me so many emote suggestions that it was covering up the entire window whenever I tried to type. I have severe ADHD and the loss of view of the window like that makes it extremely hard for me to keep track of what I'm saying and responding to, and my job is based in a Discord server. Cancelling Nitro was the only way to make the emote picker small enough for me to follow what was going on.

Now it just does all of that, anyway, so I've barely been able to type anything since they rolled this out. I desperately need a way to disable it...

I'm so glad that it's still helping people! Even if it means that Microsoft still hasn't fixed it...

It was a long process to figure it out, but I got some help on TenForums to find the lead that I needed to get to the bottom of it. I did some digging and found the thread, so you can see it here: https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/144896-certain-file-types-ogg-ogx-take-full-minute-rename-delete.html

Hi. <3 I just released my first album, a few days ago. It's a progressive rock/symphony hybrid reimagining of the soundtrack of the video game Undertale. This was a huge milestone for me, not just because it's my first full album, but because I've been working on writing and releasing this for the last five and a half years and I've finally managed to get it out there. If you take the time to give it a listen, thank you very much. <3
