FAQ

Why do I have to manually unmute and/or why does the video not autoplay?

Because Chrome does not allow websites to autoplay unmuted videos, for more details see https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

Why does X streamer never show up?

The streamer might have clip creation restricted to subscribers or has been explicitly filtered out.

Why are all clips 30 seconds long? Why are some clips badly timed, ending abruptly or missing context?

The official API for Twitch clips is currently very limited
